  • mscs

    Powerful command-line control for UNIX and Linux powered Minecraft servers

  • Ideally, I'd like something like the Minecraft Server Control Script. Something that makes setting up, backing up, and restarting servers pretty simple. As well as simplifying the process of running multiple servers.

  • factorio-server-manager

    A tool to help manage Factorio multiplayer servers including mods and save games.

  • I found Open Factorio Server Manager. It looks like it will fit my needs pretty well, but it hasn't had a new commit in almost a year. I'm worried that it isn't being maintained and that if I get it up and working, that it will break at some point in the future.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • pterodactyl-installer

    :bird: Unofficial installation scripts for Pterodactyl Panel

  • If you don't want to pay for a panel, there's Pterodactyl (https://pterodactyl.io/). Bit more of a process to set up but user scripts (https://github.com/pterodactyl-installer/pterodactyl-installer) make it easier. Management of servers is more of a process as well compared to AMP.

  • panel

    Pterodactyl® is a free, open-source game server management panel built with PHP, React, and Go. Designed with security in mind, Pterodactyl runs all game servers in isolated Docker containers while exposing a beautiful and intuitive UI to end users.

  • AMP

    Issue tracking and documentation for AMP (by CubeCoders)

  • Late to the party but if you're fine with a small one time fee there's Cube Coder's AMP game panel (https://cubecoders.com/AMP). I like it because you can host more than just a Factorio or Minecraft server.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
