## What it is
PufferPanel is an open-source, web-based game server management panel written in Go. It lets users deploy, manage, and share multiple game servers (Minecraft, Source dedicated servers, and more) from a single central interface.

## Use cases
- host and manage multiple minecraft servers from one panel
- give friends their own game server accounts with limited access
- self-host a free alternative to commercial game server panels
- manage source dedicated servers (srcds) via a web UI
- run a game server network for a small community

## When to avoid
- you need enterprise-scale orchestration across many nodes with advanced clustering
- you only need a single game server with no web management
- you require commercial vendor support
