Calagopus

Modern. Fast. Secure.

Calagopus is an open-source game server management panel written in Rust. It handles deploying, monitoring and administering game servers that run in Linux Docker containers, including Minecraft (Java and Bedrock), Rust, ARK, Valheim and FiveM. Servers are isolated in Docker containers, and Pterodactyl eggs work without modification, with migration tooling built in for moving from Pterodactyl or Pelican.

The panel includes a guided first-run wizard, real-time collaborative file editing, a disk usage treemap, revision diffs with one-click restore, and an Advanced Mode toggle. It supports 14+ languages with automatic right-to-left layout. An Extension API built on Rust traits lets extensions add backend logic, custom routes, CLI commands and database migrations, and modify or replace built-in UI elements, with installation from the admin UI. Deployment is available via Docker or traditional installation, and ARM64 is supported, including Raspberry Pi with Docker Compose.

Calagopus is free for personal and commercial use with no feature gating; core components are MIT-licensed.
