Rust core · native containerd runtime · sub-10ms console streaming · one-line install
Catalyst is a complete, self-hosted game server management platform built for enterprise hosts, game communities, and billing panel integrations. Manage servers across multiple nodes with container isolation, live console access, automated backups, and fine-grained permissions — no daemon tax, no dependency maze.
- 🚀 Fast where it matters — Rust core, direct containerd integration, sub-10ms WebSocket console round-trips
- 📦 One-line install — panel, database, and reverse proxy in about sixty seconds
- 🎮 Any game — Minecraft, CS2, ARK, Rust, Terraria, and anything that runs in a Linux container
- 🔐 Built for hosts — RBAC with 20+ permissions, audit logging, API keys, TLS by default
- 🧩 Extensible — plugin system for custom routes, hooks, and scheduled tasks, plus Paymenter billing integration
