Struxa review
A free Minecraft panel with server operations, backups, mods, and built-in billing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Struxa is a free, open-source game server management panel for hosting providers, gaming communities, and homelab operators. Its web dashboard covers server lifecycle actions, nodes, users, files, schedules, backups, notifications, and billing. The Self-Hosted edition runs on your infrastructure, uses MySQL, and communicates with Wings node agents managing Docker-based game server containers. Verified supported-game coverage is Minecraft, making the product most relevant to Minecraft hosts rather than operators managing a broad game catalog.
Its strongest area is the combination of server administration and hosting operations. Struxa can create, start, stop, restart, and delete servers, while providing real-time console access, file uploads and downloads, node monitoring, and scheduled power actions, commands, and backups. Minecraft plugin and mod installation is available through Modrinth, and Pterodactyl-compatible eggs and nests support the server setup model. Backup targets include local storage, Amazon S3-compatible storage, restic, Proxmox Backup Server, Kopia, and Google Drive. Discord and Telegram notifications add communication options for operational events.
The free Self-Hosted plan includes the full feature set, an MIT License, and community support via GitHub. Struxa Cloud is designed to add a Struxa-hosted panel, automatic updates, priority support, custom domains, monitoring, and an SLA uptime guarantee. Enterprise adds dedicated infrastructure, SLA guarantees, a dedicated support engineer, custom integrations, advanced analytics, and custom onboarding. Choose Struxa if you want an open-source Minecraft panel with billing and extensive backup integrations. Choose another product if you need verified support for games beyond Minecraft or prefer a currently available hosted deployment.
