Pelican
Free game server control panel with a web interface for deploying, configuring and running
Pelican is a free, open-source web panel for managing game servers. Each server runs in its own isolated Docker container, allowing a single machine to host multiple instances while keeping them separated. The panel provides a browser-based interface for creating and administering servers, with one-click installations and automatic updates.
Servers are configured through eggs, templates that cover games including Minecraft, Terraria, Palworld, Valheim, Enshrouded, and Factorio. The panel includes a client area, panel settings, and server creation tools, and natively supports SSL, two-factor authentication, and AES-256 encryption. Its code is published on GitHub.
Pelican is intended for individuals running servers for themselves, friends, or family, as well as gaming communities. It is available at no cost under an open-source license, with no paid editions or usage-based plans described.
