A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

I recently upgraded my Homeserver and wanted to start hosting some gameservers for me and my friends. I read a lot about Pterodactyl and saw that there were other options.

Can any of you recommend others or should I stick with Pterodactyl?

I'm using Proxmox with a virtualised TrueNAS and other Uhuntuserver VMs for Jellyfin etc.

Thank you very much! I will have a look at those.

pterodactyl is really nice if you manage servers with multiple people that are less tech savy. A Good alternative is linuxgsm but it is a load more technical to use.

well I would pretty much configure everything and my friends would simply „use“ the servers by connecting to it via the games (Minecraft, Arma etc)

I use AMP for hosting Minecraft, Valheim and steam dedicated servers and have been very pleased with it. I did look at Pterodactyl a long time ago but never used it. I think AMP is more advanced, but might be overkill for your needs.

Looks promising. Thank you!

Second vote for AMP here!

I just use steamcmd (depending on the game) and make my own launchers for each server. It isn't ideal though so i might check that Pterodactyl myself, forgot that it's a thing :)
