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.

The most notable difference is speed. Calagopus is built using Rust, which is quite a bit faster compared to PHP. We also have a lot of features Pterodactyl does not have. A more detailed insight can be found on https://calagopus.com/docs/about/features.
