OVHcloud Game Panel is an open-source, self-hosted control panel to deploy, run, and monitor your game servers — without ever touching the command line. Spin up a Minecraft, Counter-Strike 2, Hytale, Palworld, or Project Zomboid server in a few clicks, then manage its files, backups, player access, and performance from a single modern dashboard. 🚀

🏗️ Architecture

Under the hood, a React + Vite frontend talks to a Node.js backend (Express, WebSocket, SQLite) that orchestrates the full server lifecycle — files, backups, permissions, metrics, and container configuration — through the Docker engine.

frontend/ — React and Vite user interface.
backend/ — Node.js, Express, WebSocket, and SQLite backend.
docker-images/ — OVHcloud game server images and operational images.
deploy/ — self-hosted installation and update scripts.
