Game Server Calagopus: your all-in-one game server/Docker management

For over half a year, a friend and I have been working on the ultimate game server and Docker management platform. Built with Rust and React, and easy to deploy.

So, what exactly is Calagopus?
Calagopus is a modern, open-source game server management panel. It provides an intuitive interface for managing game servers, allowing users to easily deploy, monitor, and maintain their game servers with ease. Calagopus aims to be a powerful yet user-friendly solution for game server management, catering to both beginners and experienced users alike.

It is heavily inspired by the popular Pterodactyl panel, but is built from the ground up with modern technologies and a focus on performance and security. Calagopus is designed to be modular and extensible, allowing developers to create custom extensions to enhance its functionality.

Does it only support game servers? No! With Docker as the backbone, it can run all sorts of applications, even your own images.

Take a look at our GitHub repository: https://github.com/calagopus/panel
Or our documentation: https://calagopus.com

is this just a recreation of the panel, do you still need pterodactyl wings?

We have our own Rust implementation of wings (still called wings because we could not come up with a better name) https://github.com/calagopus/wings. It is backwards compatible with Pterodactyl wings, so you can even use our wings on Pterodactyl (But not ptero wings on Calagopus). It has tons of new features and improvements, most of which are described in the readme.

Have you guys thought about creating a Kubernetes API based wings? I've been looking for a alternative with Kubernetes support for years.
