Game servers

Web control

Install and manage your own servers

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.

We don’t settle for less. Game servers are a first class citizen on our platform.

Security first

Security is a first-class citizen on this platform with bcrypt hashing, AES-256-CBC encryption, and HTTPS support out of the box.

Docker to the core

All servers run in isolated Docker containers that limit attack vectors, provide strict resource limits, and provide environments tailored to each specific game.
