Overview

GameAP is a free, open source control panel for deploying and managing game servers from your browser. From one dashboard you install, start, stop, restart, configure and monitor game servers, stream the live server console, browse and edit server files, schedule tasks and give your team role based access, all without touching the command line. A web panel drives a local daemon that runs the game servers on the same machine, so a single instance is a complete, self hosted game server host. It gives operators a private alternative to hosted control panels, with a REST API for automation and support for many game engines.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships GameAP as a secure, ready to run appliance. The panel and its local daemon are preinstalled and linked over a per VM mutual TLS channel whose certificate is generated uniquely on the first boot of every instance and never baked into the image, and the panel HTTP endpoint and the daemon channel are bound to the loopback interface so only an nginx TLS front end is exposed. A fresh administrator password, data encryption key and daemon enrollment key are generated uniquely on every VM at first boot and the admin password is written to a root only file for you to retrieve, so no default login ever ships. The base is fully patched with unattended security upgrades enabled, systemd keeps the services running, and every deployment is paired with a step by step guide and backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
