PufferPanel is a web-based game server management system for running and administering multiple game servers from a single interface. It is designed to be easy to install and suitable for personal servers as well as small-to-medium game hosting networks.

Key Features

  • Centralized management for multiple game servers from one web UI
  • Multi-user access to delegate servers to other users or share access to existing servers
  • Supports popular server types including Minecraft (and modded variants) and Source Dedicated Server-based games
  • Template-based server creation and configuration to standardize deployments
  • Process control and lifecycle management (start, stop, restart) with server console access

Use Cases

  • Hosting and managing a small set of community game servers on a single machine
  • Providing game server access to multiple users while keeping permissions separated
  • Standardizing deployments for a small game server network using reusable templates

Limitations and Considerations

  • Focused on game server hosting; it is not a general-purpose container or VM management platform

PufferPanel is a practical choice when you need a lightweight, web-managed way to operate multiple game servers. Its emphasis on simplicity and multi-user management makes it well-suited to shared environments and small hosting setups.
