What is it?

Calagopus Panel is a game server management panel that lets operators deploy, configure and manage containerized game servers from a web interface. It is a ground-up reimplementation of Pterodactyl Panel in Rust, keeping the same container-based approach while adding a refreshed UI and a more structured extension model for both the frontend and backend.

The backend is built on Tokio and Axum, and the frontend uses React, Mantine and Tailwind. Egg definitions in the Pterodactyl style are supported, and validation rules are handled by a Rust port of Laravel's validator. The project also provides migration paths for existing installations of Pterodactyl and Pelican.

The repository is organized into separate frontend, backend, database migrator, Wings API client and extension crates. Installation instructions are maintained in the project's online documentation.
