Pterodactyl

Pterodactyl is a free control panel that lets people easily run their own game servers, like Minecraft or ARK, from a simple website dashboard.
Pterodactyl works like a smart remote control that starts, stops, and manages game worlds so friends can play together without needing to be tech experts.
It uses DiskSpace S3-compatible object storage to safely keep backup files, world saves, and mods in cheap, reliable cloud storage so even if something goes wrong, your progress is never lost and you can quickly restore everything.
