Skyport is a free, open-source game server management panel built with Node.js, Express, and Docker. It provides a clean web interface for managing game servers and applications with container-based isolation, resource limits, and an extensible architecture.

Architecture Overview

The Skyport ecosystem consists of two core components working together:

  1. Skyport Panel: The centralized web-based interface where administrators and users configure servers, manage files, monitor statistics, and handle users and permissions.
  2. Skyport Daemon (skyportd): The lightweight node agent installed on host machines that communicates with the local Docker daemon to create, start, stop, and monitor server containers.

Key Features

  • Docker Containerization: Each game server instance runs in an isolated container with dedicated CPU, RAM, and disk quotas.
  • Real-Time Web Console: Interact directly with your game server's standard input and output streams in real time.
  • Built-in File Manager: Upload, edit, compress, and configure server files directly from your browser.
  • Modular Plugin System: Extend the panel's capabilities with community or custom plugins.
  • REST API: Automate server provisioning, user management, and power actions programmatically.
