Deployment	The CLI manages installation and updates of Lodestone Core, and the dashboard can be hosted by Lodestone or self-hosted.	The recommended installation uses Docker Compose and opens the panel at localhost:3000.
File manager	Its file manager supports unzip, upload, download, copy, and paste operations.	Each server has a browser-based file manager with editing, streamed uploads, downloads, ZIP transfers and resumable large-file uploads.
Monitoring	Features include real-time server status.	The dashboard displays server status, player count, uptime, CPU and RAM, with live logs and historical graphs.
Purpose	Lodestone is a free, open source server hosting tool for Minecraft and other multiplayer games.	Minepanel is a web panel for managing Minecraft servers with Docker.
Security	Lodestone Core is written in safe Rust and forbids unsafe code, but the project says it has had no formal security audit.	Authentication uses JWT sessions stored in httpOnly cookies, and protected API routes require authentication.
Support	The project directs users to its wiki and Discord for troubleshooting and setup help.	The maker points users to troubleshooting documentation, GitHub Issues, and GitHub Discussions for support.
