Pufferpanel

From Pufferpanel:

PufferPanel is an open source game server management panel designed to be easy to use and easy to install. PufferPanel supports Minecraft, Spigot, Sponge, Source Dedicated Servers, BungeeCord, PocketMine, Forge, and much more.

Note: Although the panel itself is open source, Minecraft server software are EULA licensed, open source modifications such as Forge or Spigot still rely on the EULA licensed binary distributed by Mojang.

After creating the admin user, you can Start/enable pufferpanel.service.
