Welcome to StellarStack
StellarStack is an open-source game server hosting panel built for the modern era. Manage Minecraft, Terraria, Valheim, and more from a unified interface with real-time monitoring, automated backups, and granular permissions. Self-host on your infrastructure or deploy to the cloud. Your servers, your control.The problem
Game server hosting hasn’t evolved with the rest of web infrastructure. Most panels are:- Single-server focused - Managing 10+ servers means juggling 10+ tabs
- Feature-frozen - Built on PHP codebases from 2010, resistant to change
- Permission-limited - Either full admin access or nothing
- Backup-neglected - Manual backups or expensive third-party solutions
- Mobile-unfriendly - Designed for desktop in a mobile-first world
The vision
StellarStack applies modern infrastructure patterns to game server management:Multi-server by design
Unified dashboard for all your servers across multiple nodes
Permission-granular
45+ permission nodes for precise access control
Automation-first
Scheduled backups, tasks, webhooks, and event triggers
Real-time everything
WebSocket-powered console, stats, and notifications
API-driven
REST API with full panel feature parity
Self-hostable
Your hardware, your data, your rules

Key concepts
Servers
Servers
Individual game server instances running in Docker containers. Each server is isolated with its own resources, port allocations, and file system.
Nodes
Nodes
Physical or virtual machines running the Rust daemon. Each node can host multiple servers and reports resource usage to the central API.
Locations
Locations
Logical grouping of nodes for organization (e.g., “US-East”, “EU-West”, “Asia-Pacific”). Helps users deploy servers close to their player base.
Blueprints
Blueprints
Pre-configured templates for common game servers (Minecraft, Terraria, Valheim). Includes startup commands, port configurations, and resource limits.
Subusers
Subusers
Invite players or team members with custom permissions. Grant console access, file manager, backups, or full admin rights per server.
