Introduction - Kuroctl

Kuro is an open source panel to host game servers on your own machines. It has three parts:

the API: the decision center. It holds accounts, permissions, nodes, servers and the audit log, and serves the panel;
the daemon: installed on every machine that runs servers (a node), it drives Docker, enforces limits and reports state, stats and the console;
the panel: the web admin interface, served by the API.

Requirements

For	You need
The API and panel	A Linux machine (x86_64 or arm64) with systemd, a domain name or public IP, a TLS reverse proxy (Caddy recommended). PostgreSQL: your own, or a local container installed by the script (Docker required).
A node	A Linux machine (x86_64 or arm64) with systemd and Docker. It can be the same machine as the API.
Players	Reach the node’s game ports (port forwarding if the node is behind a home router).

Where to start

Install the API and panel.
Create the first admin account.
Add a node.
Deploy a first server from the panel: Servers › New server.

Without a domain or any extra setup, players join a server with IP:port. DNS and AI agents are optional.
