mcpanel

the absolute best self-hostable minecraft server

info

mcpanel is a comprehensive Minecraft server hosting platform.
spanning all server softwares and game versions, we are a open-source self-hostable alternative to platforms like Aternos.

We liked the functionality of such panels but were dissapointed to see that there's not a foss version with the same amount of comprehensiveness.
We mainly focus on ease of use; for example we automatically configure RAM sizes based on your computer's ram unless manually configured.
As of now, functionality is limited; currently you can create servers, manage multiple, start them, stop them, restart them, and access a full console. The majority of the work was in managing versions and downloads.

You can access a demo at mcpanel.milesmuehlbach.com

unimportant details for the hc reviewers

• async fastapi backend and stateful task management, utilizes quite a few 3p apis/cdns for very peak reasons, handled by @TechDudie

hosting

Only docker is supported in alpha. Windows and standalone binaries will be generated in the future.

Create docker-compose.yml:

services:
  mcpanel:
    image: milesmuehlbach/mcpanel:latest
    container_name: mcpanel
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      PYTHONUNBUFFERED: "1"
    volumes:
      - ./minecraft:/app/minecraft

Run docker compose up. Web dashboard runs on port 8080. Your default minecraft server port is 25565.
