Any good alternatives to Pterodactyl?

BanatSync · August 31

Hello everyone,
I’d like to ask fellow providers or users if you know of any alternatives to Pterodactyl, other than the well-known ones such as Wisp, TCAdmin, Pelican, OGP, or LinuxGSM.

If you have experience with other panels or solutions, I’d really appreciate your recommendations.
Thank you in advance!

Many self hosting panels have instant install for popular games. I can install PufferPanel and Pterodactyl via easypanel easily. I can also just deploy Minecraft via easypanel.

Many server panels that are free do this. ESP those that are docker based.

Not really. Pelican is the future approach probably but it's in alpha and a fork of Pterodactyl. Nothing compared to Pterodactyls features, stability, and the fact that it's open source. The user experience is also good unless you want very integrated game-specific features.

No, I guess

I was going to ask if people still use pterodactyl, we are integrating it into BillingServ as we got requests for it, so made sense. But might need to think about adding some more.

What the helly.

Anyway GameDash, from my understanding, is basically dead project. I haven't looked at it in a few years since the guy making it quit giving info. It's been "Coming Soon" for years.

@Jord Pterodactyl is still the most popular

Pterodactyl is basically what the industry uses, it's hard to name a game server hosting provider that doesn't use it (or a fork of it).

I believe the only 2 other options I've seen game hosts use are basically Multicraft and TCAdmin. TCAdmin is only really good for hosting games that absolutely require Windows, and Multicraft is what the very old hosting providers use (but the pricing is insane now).

Not sure what ZAP Hosting uses as they also provide a gamepanel within their dashboard for the vps. Could be a fork though.

I'm not a client but from the pictures I looked up it looks fully custom. I guess they are also possibly one of the few exceptions.

Any good alternatives to Pterodactyl?
