Pelican Panel
Free, open-source game server control panel, built on Laravel and Filament, that runs game servers in Docker containers.
Pelican Panel is a free, open-source game server control panel built on Laravel and Filament. It started as a fork of Pterodactyl, as the project’s comparison page states. The panel is a Laravel web application that runs on a web server with PHP, and it installs directly with composer install or with Docker.
The panel’s database can be SQLite, MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL. The game servers it manages run in Docker containers, started by a separate component, Wings, which is not part of this record. The project is maintained under the name Pelican.
Worth knowing
The only tagged release is a release candidate, and no stable version is tagged, so the record shows the release candidate’s date. The name is shared with the Pelican static site generator, which is a different project.
