Web-based game server management system for hosting multiple game servers from a single dashboard.

Open-source web panel to manage game servers like a cloud dashboard.

Core Features

  • Manage all game servers from one web dashboard
  • One-click install for Minecraft, Terraria, and many more
  • User permission and resource management per server
  • Built-in file manager, console, and backup scheduler
  • Docker isolation support and plugin system

What It Can't Do

  • Installation requires basic Linux knowledge (firewall, SSL). Default uses SQLite; switch to MySQL for large setups. Nodes must have internet access to download game server files. The panel itself consumes modest system resources.

Use Cases

  • Hosting a Minecraft server for friends
  • Managing multiple game servers for a small community
  • Running game servers on a home lab with shared access

Detailed Introduction

PufferPanel is a free, open-source web panel that lets you manage multiple game servers (Minecraft, Terraria, Valheim, etc.) from one central interface. It provides user management, one-click server installation, console access, file management, backup, and scheduling. Designed for individual server owners and small networks, it offers an easy-to-use control panel without requiring deep command-line knowledge. The panel can be extended with plugins and supports Docker for isolation. Unlike proprietary panels like Multicraft, PufferPanel is fully open-source and community-driven.
