Calagopus Game Server Panel on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Azure
Gaming
Calagopus, a modern game server management panel that runs your container based game servers from one clean web console.
Overview
Calagopus is an open source, self hosted game server management panel, a ground up reimplementation of Pterodactyl written in Rust. It gives you one web console to create, start, stop and monitor container based game servers, manage the files, players, backups and schedules on each server, and hand scoped access to the people on your team, all across the daemon nodes you connect to it. It reuses Pterodactyl style eggs, offers a supported migration path from Pterodactyl and Pelican, and exposes real backend and frontend extension APIs for themes, auth providers and plugins. The panel is a single fast binary that serves both its REST API and its refreshed web interface, so a small hosting operation or a home lab can run many game servers from a console it fully controls.
Why the cloudimg image
Community images for a panel like this routinely ship a shared administrator login and a fixed application key, so every deployment starts from the same secrets. cloudimg ships nothing sensitive at all: the image carries no panel database, no administrator and no encryption key, and first boot generates a fresh database password, a fresh application encryption key and a unique administrator password written to a file only root can read. The panel cannot start against a default or empty configuration, its state lives in a preinstalled PostgreSQL with a Redis cache alongside it, and stored values are encrypted at rest with the per instance key. Every deployment ships fully patched, with a paired deploy guide and 24/7 cloudimg support.
Common uses
- Run a game server hosting operation from one console instead of ad hoc scripts
- Give players and staff scoped access to the servers they manage
- Migrate an existing Pterodactyl or Pelican setup onto infrastructure you control
