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.
