Minecraft servers, managed.

MCSM is a self-hostable web app that spins up Minecraft servers as Docker containers and routes them by domain — with a guided setup wizard, live console, analytics, world backups, mod management and a 3D world map built in.

Not screenshots — the real thing

These are the dashboard's actual UI components running right here with demo data. Click around: edit the MOTD, switch chart ranges, create a backup.

Live MOTD editor

Write your MOTD with § codes or 1.16+ hex colors — rendered in the Minecraft font exactly as players will see it, obfuscated-text animation included. Try the toolbar and presets above.

Subdomains, not ports

The biggest pain of hosting multiple servers — gone. Every server gets its own domain through one shared port, routed by a Docker label that Infrarust discovers automatically. Add one above.

survival.mc.example.com mc-survival

creative.mc.example.com mc-creative

modpack.mc.example.com mc-modpack

All domains share port 25565 — Infrarust routes each one to its container by Docker label.

play.example.com:25565:25566:25567 No port forwarding per server, no proxy config files, no ports for players to remember.

World backups

Snapshot the world volume with one click — download, upload and restore backups right from the dashboard. Go ahead, create one.

World backups

Snapshots of the world volume, stored on the mcsm-backups volume. demo data

No backups yet.

Backups snapshot the whole world volume and can be restored at any time.

Analytics

CPU, memory, latency and player counts — sampled every minute, charted over 1-hour, 24-hour and 7-day ranges. Switch the range above.

Sampled every minute while the server is running. demo data

One page per server

Every server gets its own dashboard: Overview, Configuration, Environment, Players, Console, Analytics, Backups, World, Map, Files and Settings.

Live server overview

Status pings, player counts, uptime and latency at a glance — plus an activity feed of everything that happened to the server.

Server overview page with live status, connection info, config summary and activity feed

3D world map

Toggle an interactive BlueMap for any server — auto-installed and served through MCSM's own domain, no extra ports or DNS needed.

And everything else a server needs

Guided setup wizard

Pick a type — Vanilla, Paper, Fabric, Forge, FTB or CurseForge — choose a version, configure the world and go live in minutes.

Live console

An xterm.js terminal streams server logs in real time and runs commands over RCON, right from the browser.

Mods, plugins & Modrinth

Browse Modrinth, install mods with dependencies in one click, get update badges, and edit config files in a built-in Monaco editor.

Player management

Operators, whitelist, kick and ban — with skins and UUIDs resolved from Mojang automatically.

World pre-generation

Generate chunks ahead of time with Chunky and watch progress live on a Minecraft-style chunk colormap.

Accounts & passkeys

Password, WebAuthn passkeys and Microsoft sign-in — with an admin panel for users, domains and API keys.

Docker-native

Servers are plain Docker containers running itzg/minecraft-server — no custom runtime, no lock-in.

Label-based routing

Infrarust discovers each server from its Docker labels and routes its domain to it — no proxy config files to manage.

Self-hosted & open source

MIT-licensed, deployable with a single Docker Compose stack — your servers, your hardware, your data.

One Docker Compose stack gives you MCSM, the Infrarust proxy and a secured Docker socket — then every new server is just a wizard away.
