The everyday, taken care of

Less busywork.
More building.

From the first start to the next world reset,
Nodara brings the work of hosting together.

Your servers, in one place.

Provision Minecraft servers, manage power, read logs and set CPU and memory allocations. Keep track of what’s running and where.

Survival worldOne clear view of your workspace

Make a change. Keep a way back.

Local backups, S3-compatible exports and recoverable runtime changes help you look after what players have built.

The right access for your people.

Invite teammates, choose service permissions and secure accounts with authenticator MFA, recovery codes and session controls.

A world of possibilities.

Manage worlds, switch approved runtime profiles and install reviewed plugins or modpacks with compatibility checks.

A repair path for your installation.

Inspect installation drift, review a repair plan and restore recorded panel, worker, agent and HTTPS configuration. Protected recovery copies preserve your original credentials.

Keep the routine on schedule.

Schedule server operations and backup retention. When something looks wrong, guided diagnostics give you evidence and practical next steps.

At home on your hardware

One VM.
Your whole workspace.

Start small. The panel, worker and Docker agent can share one on-premises VM, with separate service accounts and room reserved for the host.

An honest roadmap.

Minecraft is our starting point.
Here’s what’s here, and what comes next.

01Complete

The foundation

Accounts, nodes, Minecraft provisioning, console controls and resource allocations.

02Complete

Hosting essentials

Files, backups, MFA, teams, SFTP, schedules, remote backups and managed databases.

03Complete

Better game hosting

Worlds, reviewed add-ons, runtime recovery, diagnostics and dedicated-node reservations.

04In progress

Beyond game servers

Single-VM setup, installation repair and owner-approved alpha upgrades are available. Game installation repair is implemented and awaiting a reviewed release. Pilot validation continues, progressing toward bot and application runtimes, Git deployments, custom domains and deployment rollback.

Phases 1–3 complete. Phase 4 underway. Single-VM installation, auto-repair and alpha upgrades have passed Debian 13 VM tests with all three HTTPS proxies. A live Ubuntu pilot also completed a private-release upgrade. Read the upgrade guide. Preview the illustrated game repair guide. Broader application hosting remains in development; real-game and site-specific pilot checks come before a wider release.

A few things worth knowing

Before you make
yourself at home.

Is Nodara a hosting provider?

Nodara is software you run on your own infrastructure. You provide the VM, storage and network; the panel helps you manage the services on it.

Can I run everything on one VM?

Yes. The single-VM setup brings together the panel, one worker and the Docker agent. Reserve enough memory and CPU for the host as well as your game servers. Separate nodes remain an option as your setup grows.

Can I use it in production today?

Nodara is a development alpha for private evaluation. Real-game acceptance, security and load review, hard disk quotas and disaster-recovery validation remain release gates. Start with test workloads and protected access.

How do I get access?

After purchasing access, accept your GitHub invitation and use the private repository URL and reviewed revision supplied with your order. Our installation guide covers access, setup and verification. This website does not yet provide automated checkout or instant provisioning.

How do I upgrade my installation?

On a supported single-VM setup, configure private GitHub access once, then review and approve releases from the owner’s Updates page. The helper verifies releases and backs up local installation state; game worlds need independent backups. Follow the illustrated update and recovery guide.

Do I need a particular web server?

No. The installer offers Nginx, Apache and Caddy, with automatic public certificates or an existing certificate from your own CA. Choose the server you’re comfortable maintaining.

feel like home.
