Crafty Controller, a web control panel for running and administering Minecraft and other game servers, ready with a unique admin password on first boot.
Overview
Crafty Controller is a self hosted, browser based control panel for creating, running and administering Minecraft and other game servers. From one dashboard your team can create servers, start, stop and restart them, watch a live console and send commands, edit configuration and files, schedule automated tasks and backups, set per server CPU and memory limits, and share access with role based multi user accounts. It gives game server operators a private, self hosted alternative to hosting control panels, with a REST API for automation and bundled Java runtime handling for the servers it manages.
Why the cloudimg image
cloudimg ships Crafty Controller secure by default with no baked login. Crafty generates a fresh, random administrator password uniquely on the first boot of every instance, and cloudimg writes it to a root only file on the VM for you to retrieve, so no two deployments share a credential and no known password ever ships in the image. The panel is published only on the loopback interface behind an nginx reverse proxy that terminates TLS, systemd keeps it running with automatic restarts, the base is fully patched with unattended security upgrades enabled, and every deployment is paired with a step by step guide and backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
