Pelican Panel

Pelican Panel is an open-source, web-based control panel for deploying, configuring, and managing game servers. It provides a centralized UI for server administration with container-based isolation and flexible customization, suitable for individuals and hosting providers.

Key Features

• Web UI for provisioning and managing game server instances
• Docker container isolation per server to avoid host dependency bloat
• Real-time resource monitoring for managed servers
• “Egg” templating system for defining server types and install/run logic
• Extensible management workflows designed for multi-server and multi-user environments

Use Cases

• Hosting multiple game servers on a single machine with isolated dependencies
• Offering game server hosting to customers with a self-serve management panel
• Standardizing deployment of common server stacks (for example Minecraft or SteamCMD-based games)

Limitations and Considerations

• Requires a container runtime and correct Docker permissions/networking to run servers reliably
• Game support depends on available and maintained egg definitions for each server type

Pelican Panel focuses on making game server operations repeatable and approachable through a modern web interface and containerized deployments. It is a strong fit when you need a structured panel experience rather than manual server management.
