An open-source game server management panel built in Rust - with throughput up to 32,800% faster than the alternatives.
Calagopus is built with security in mind, utilizing best practices to minimize vulnerabilities and protect your game servers from potential threats. Servers run in isolated Docker containers, and the panel itself also follows best practices for secure web applications.
Learn more about securityWith Rust's high performance and low-level control, Calagopus delivers fast and efficient game server management, with throughput improvements of over 32,800% - making server administration smoother than ever. Our binaries are compiled to be as small and efficient as possible, and we use caching and other optimization techniques to ensure the best performance possible.
See the benchmarksCalagopus is designed to be modular and extensible, allowing developers to create custom extensions to enhance its functionality. The Extension API uses Rust traits for maximum flexibility and performance, and we provide comprehensive documentation and support to help developers get started building their own extensions.
Build an extensionCalagopus is open source and available on GitHub, allowing the community to contribute to its development and improvement. We welcome contributions from developers of all skill levels and encourage collaboration to make Calagopus the best game server management solution available.
View the licensesCalagopus provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface for managing game servers, making it easy for both beginners and experienced users to deploy, monitor, and maintain their game servers.

Read the Docker install guideCalagopus is built in Rust, where Pterodactyl uses PHP. This delivers throughput improvements of over 32,800% along with Rust's memory-safety guarantees. We provide a migration guide for existing Pterodactyl users.
Calagopus uses an egg system to support arbitrary games. Anything that runs in a Linux Docker container can be managed, including Minecraft (Java and Bedrock), Rust, ARK, Valheim, FiveM, and many more.
Yes. Calagopus is free for both personal and commercial use, with no feature gating. Core components are MIT-licensed.
Yes. Calagopus provides migration tooling and documentation for both Pterodactyl and Pelican.
Yes. The Extension API uses Rust traits for type safety and performance. Extensions can add backend logic, custom routes, UI elements, database migrations, and more.
Yes. Calagopus supports ARM64 and the Docker Compose setup works on a Raspberry Pi out of the box.
