Deployment	The installer requires Docker and Compose v2 and can publish the panel on a host port, behind a reverse proxy, or through Cloudflare Tunnel.	The recommended installation uses Docker Compose and opens the panel at localhost:3000.
Integrations	Optional modules include a Discord bot, SMTP mailer, Paperview file sharing, and an asynchronous backup worker.	Mod and modpack integrations include Modrinth and CurseForge, and Discord webhooks can send server event notifications.
Purpose	Aethera is a free, open-source, self-hosted control panel for managing Minecraft game servers.	Minepanel is a web panel for managing Minecraft servers with Docker.
Security	The installer generates a cryptographically random JWT secret and MongoDB password; users can configure their own TLS through a reverse proxy.	Authentication uses JWT sessions stored in httpOnly cookies, and protected API routes require authentication.
