    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.

    Pterodactyl is a great piece of software for running/managing game servers as well. https://pterodactyl.io/

  • Docker Compose

    Define and run multi-container applications with Docker

    The Arch Linux Install Guide is what I'd recommend to get started with, and it can be found here. Note that Arch is "rolling release" and some people find this a bad idea for servers - I find it helpful, personally, but to be fair I'm pointing it out. You can go with Manjaro instead if you want the benefits of Arch but some helpful stuff already included for GUI. After that, you can look into Docker Compose, documentation found here.

  • 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.
