| Spec score · Minecraft Server Control Panels | 8.5 (#4) | 7.9 (#11) |
| Access control | Minepanel provides admin and user roles, per-server permissions, invitations and an audit log. | A granular permission system controls access for multiple users. |
| Deployment | The recommended installation uses Docker Compose and opens the panel at localhost:3000. | It is designed for a Linux VPS or dedicated server and installs with one command. |
| Installation | The documented installation clones the GitHub repository, creates JWT_SECRET and runs docker compose up -d; the first visit creates the administrator account. | A single-command installer automatically installs Node.js, Java, Nginx and SSL certificates. |
| License | The FAQ and repository identify the project as open source under the MIT License, with the repository copyright covering 2024–2026. | The project is licensed under GNU Affero General Public License version 3.0. |
| Monitoring | The dashboard displays server status, player count, uptime, CPU and RAM, with live logs and historical graphs. | Monitoring tracks CPU, RAM and connected player count in real time. |
| Purpose | Minepanel is a web panel for managing Minecraft servers with Docker. | Shulkr is an open-source management panel for Minecraft servers. |
| Requirements | The minimum runtime requirements are Docker 20.10+, Docker Compose v2, 2GB RAM for the panel plus server resources, and Linux, macOS or Windows with WSL2. | Installation requires a Linux server with SSH access and root privileges; Debian 13 is recommended, while Debian 12 and Ubuntu 22.04 or newer also work. |
| Security | Authentication uses JWT sessions stored in httpOnly cookies, and protected API routes require authentication. | Shulkr provides built-in iptables firewall rules and automatic HTTPS through Let's Encrypt. |
| Support | The maker points users to troubleshooting documentation, GitHub Issues, and GitHub Discussions for support. | The project welcomes contributions and accepts bug reports through GitHub issues. |
