Overview

What is PufferPanel?

PufferPanel is a web-based, open-source game server management panel, licensed under Apache 2.0. It allows you to manage multiple game servers from a single centralized interface, whether for personal use, a small network, or a hosting provider.

The panel offers a real-time web console, integrated file management, SFTP access per server, OAuth2 authentication, and a multi-user permission system that allows delegating access to specific servers. While Minecraft is the most common use case, the architecture supports many game engines through customizable server templates.

Built with Go for the backend and Vue.js for the frontend, PufferPanel is actively maintained (over 100 versions released) and deployable via Docker. It serves as a lightweight, free alternative to proprietary game server management solutions.

Host PufferPanel at DINAO

No managed container for PufferPanel: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (1 vCPU / 1 Go / 10 Go minimum).

Application available on a VPS

This application requires privileged access to the host machine, which is incompatible with managed shared hosting. It is installed on a VPS (virtual private server) that you administer: DINAO delivers it with Docker and the management panel of your choice, and you install and maintain PufferPanel yourself. The VPS is not managed by DINAO unless you add the managed-services option when ordering.

Technical reason: montage du socket Docker (contrôle total de l'hôte).

Frequently asked questions

You might be wondering…

Do my players' data remain private?

Yes. Your panel and servers are isolated in a dedicated container. Your players' data (worlds, accounts, logs) is never shared with third parties.

Where are my panel and game servers hosted?

In our datacenter located in Marseille, France. Your data remains on national territory, in compliance with GDPR, with reduced latency for your European players.

Do I need technical skills to manage my servers?

No. PufferPanel offers an intuitive web interface to start, stop, and configure your servers. Installation, updates, and panel maintenance are handled by DINAO.

Can I change my plan or retrieve my worlds?

Yes. You can upgrade your plan based on the number of servers and players. Your worlds and configurations remain accessible via SFTP and can be fully exported at any time.

What games can I host with PufferPanel?

Minecraft is the most common, but PufferPanel's architecture supports many game engines (including Valve SRCDS servers) through customizable server templates. Contact us to validate a specific game.
