Overview

GameAP is an open source panel for managing game servers and services.

Features

  • Game server and service management (start, stop, restart)
  • Game server file management: editing, uploading and downloading, search within a folder, checksums (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, CRC32, CRC64), creating and extracting archives right on the dedicated server (zip, tar, gzip, bzip2, xz, zstd; 7z and rar are extraction-only)
  • Game server management via RCON (send commands, view console, manage players)
  • Game server resource limits (CPU, RAM)
  • Typed game server settings — string, text, integer, decimal number, switch, select, password — with validation rules, predefined values and administrator-only variables
  • Task scheduling (automatic restart, updates, etc.)
  • Access control (users, roles, permissions) and granting a user access to a specific server
  • Single sign-on: at the request of an external system (for example, a billing panel) the panel mints a single-use ticket that logs a specific user in
  • Arbitrary key-value metadata on dedicated servers — plugins tag the nodes they provision with it, for example to correlate a node with the cloud instance it runs on
  • Update notifications: the home page shows administrators the installed panel version and the latest releases of GameAP and GameAP Daemon
  • Interface in four languages — English, Russian, Spanish and German (Spanish and German were added in 4.5)
  • API for integration with other systems and automation. API documentation is available at openapi.gameap.io

Panel functionality is extended with plugins. Plugins are available in the plugins.gameap.dev catalog. Anyone can develop and publish their own plugin (publishing goes through moderation). Plugins can be written in any language that compiles to WASM: there is a ready-made SDK for Rust, and there are examples in Go and AssemblyScript. Read more: Plugins.
