Game Servers for Blesta

Game Servers for Blesta creates, suspends, upgrades and deletes Pelican and Pterodactyl servers with the service, and gives your customers a full game server menu right in the Blesta client area.

The whole service lifecycle

• Activation creates the server: panel user found or created, node and ports chosen, server installed with the package's egg
• Suspend and unsuspend with the service, cancel deletes the server (optionally the panel user with its last server)
• Package changes and configurable options upgrade the server: new limits, more ports, even a different egg with reinstall
• Staff see the server on the service, with Apply package settings and Reinstall

A game server menu for your customers

Every feature is its own entry in Blesta's service menu:

• Game server: address, status, game and resources, Start, Restart, Stop, Kill, live gauges for CPU, memory, disk and network, the SFTP address and an "Open game panel" button
• Console: live output and commands in the client area; the Minecraft EULA accepted with one click
• Schedules with presets and tasks (command, power action, backup), run now, pause, edit
• Backups: create, download, lock and delete within the package's limit

Your texus extensions, built in

When your panel runs texus extensions, the matching entries appear by themselves:

• Statistics (Usage Statistics): CPU, memory, disk and network charts for 24 hours, 7 or 30 days
• Workflows (Schedules Plus): step by step automations with templates and run history
• Subdomains (Subdomain Manager): addresses like survival.example.com with SRV record
• Domains (Custom Domains): the customer's own domain for a web app, with DNS check
• Databases (Database Manager): browse tables, search, run SQL
• Import (Server Importer): copy a server from another host over SFTP or FTP
• Trash (File Explorer): restore deleted files
• Split server (Server Splitter): split the package into several servers; resources given away stay with them on upgrades
• Idle Stop and SFTP Address on the overview

Per package, you choose which of these features customers get.

Pelican and Pterodactyl

• The panel type is detected from its API: Pelican Panel 1.0 and Pterodactyl Panel 1.x
• Pelican node tags or Pterodactyl locations pick region or hardware
• Port range, dedicated IP and extra ports on the same IP as the main port
• Egg drop-down with the eggs of your panel, egg variables per package or configurable option

Built to be safe and reliable

• A customer only ever reaches their own server: every request goes through the module, which looks the server up by the service and passes on a fixed list of panel routes
• Servers and users carry external IDs, so Blesta always finds its server again
• Suspend, unsuspend and cancel keep working even without a valid licence
• Tested through a real Blesta 6.0.3 against Pterodactyl 1.15.1: service, install, suspend, upgrade with egg change, licence check, cancel, and every client area entry; the provisioning core is the same one tested against Pelican 1.0.0-rc.1 in our WHMCS and FOSSBilling modules
