Panel
The self-hosted app: live console, Modrinth installs, files and SFTP, schedules, encrypted backups, roles and two-factor sign-in. -
Cloud
Free *.blockylink.net addresses and encrypted off-site backups for linked panels. -
Windows
in development
A single .exe that runs Paper and Vanilla servers natively, with no Docker or WSL.
Highlights
- Runs Paper, Purpur, Vanilla, Fabric, Quilt, Forge and NeoForge servers in Docker.
- One-click plugin and mod installs from Modrinth, a live console, a file manager and SFTP.
- Incremental, encrypted backups with restic, plus optional off-site copies through Blocky Cloud.
- Roles, two-factor sign-in and a layout that works on a phone.
Why I built it
Running a few Minecraft servers for friends meant juggling Docker commands, cron jobs for backups and a lot of SSH. Blocky Panel puts all of that behind one web UI that you host yourself.
How it works
Each server is a container based on itzg/minecraft-server, so any loader (Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Forge and others) works the same way. The panel talks to Docker directly, streams the console over a live connection, and installs plugins and mods straight from Modrinth.
Backups use restic: they are incremental, deduplicated and encrypted before they leave the machine. A restore rolls back automatically if anything fails.
The family
- Panel: the self-hosted app.
- Cloud: an optional hosted service that gives each server a free
*.blockylink.netaddress and stores encrypted off-site backups. Before it publishes a DNS name it pings the server the way the Minecraft server list does, so free names can't be pointed at random hosts. - Windows: a single
.exethat runs servers natively without Docker. It is in development.
