What is it?

Pelican Panel is a game server control panel for communities, hosting providers, and self-hosters. It offers a web interface for creating, configuring, and managing game servers, with each server running in its own isolated Docker container through the companion daemon Wings.

Server types are defined as eggs, which are templates covering game or application images and startup settings. The project maintains eggs for Minecraft variants, many SteamCMD titles such as ARK: Survival and Counter-Strike, standalone games, Discord bots, voice servers like Mumble and TeamSpeak, and services including Redis, PostgreSQL, Prometheus, and Gitea.

Pelican is a modern successor within the Pterodactyl ecosystem. It is built on Laravel and FilamentPHP and is licensed under AGPL-3.0.
