First release
Windows
Servers run as normal programs. One installer sets up the panel, the node software and the database.
Pre-releaseConsolry is not finished yet, but you can try it. Get the pre-release
Minecraft server panel
Other panels start a container and hand you a console. Consolry knows which plugins you run, which are out of date, and why the server just crashed.
Three things panels still get wrong
It starts a container and shows a console. It has no idea there are 34 plugins inside, six of them out of date.
You learn which plugin breaks by updating and watching the server fall over, usually with players online.
Most people who want a server for friends own a Windows PC. Most panels ask them to learn Docker first.
Look inside
Click through the tabs. Each one is a job other panels leave to you.
Search Modrinth, Hangar and CurseForge from inside the panel. Dependencies come along automatically, and every update is backed up first.
Architecture
The panel is a single Go binary. Each machine that hosts servers runs a small daemon, which the panel controls over HTTPS and WebSocket.
You
The React interface, or your own scripts through the API.
HTTPS + WebSocket
One binary
Users, roles, schedules, backups and the game modules.
SQLite or PostgreSQL
HTTPS + WebSocket
Daemon, one per machine
Each server in its own container.
Each server as a normal process.
Platforms
One program for the panel and one for each machine that hosts servers. Mix Windows and Linux machines in the same panel.
First release
Servers run as normal programs. One installer sets up the panel, the node software and the database.
