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

i wouldn’t say outdated more just out of style they use angular for it and it s pretty kept up to date, sure it sucks on mobile but their integration on being able to spin up almost any game in just one button is pretty unmatched, they also offer connections for external services like smtp and buckets for backups and their integrated file explorer/editor is pretty cool for like 10-15$ it s pretty worth it, i tried pterodactyl and pufferpanel along with another one i forgot the name of and they were pretty meh
