Calagopus is a ground-up reimplementation of Pterodactyl Panel in Rust. It keeps what made the original great - secure, container-based game server management - while aiming for better performance, a refreshed UI, more features, and a cleaner extension model on both the frontend and backend. If you already run Pterodactyl or Pelican, there is a supported migration path.

Features

• Rust backend - a fast, efficient backend built on Tokio and Axum.
• Modern frontend - React, Mantine, and Tailwind for a clean, responsive UI.
• Extensible by design - first-class extension systems for backend and frontend, no hacky patches or overrides, real plugin APIs.
• Egg compatible - reuses Pterodactyl-style eggs, including a Rust port of Laravel's validation rules.
• Migration friendly - import your existing setup from Pterodactyl or Pelican.
