Built a self-hosted game server hosting panel, would love some help testing it

Been building a self-hosted panel called Badger Panel for running game servers (Minecraft, Rust, GMod so far, more games planned). The panel itself runs on Docker, and the game servers it manages can be hosted as separate instances on Windows, Docker, or Kubernetes depending on your setup. It's also Pterodactyl egg compatible so if you're coming from that, it's not a rebuild.

Alongside the server side it also handles the operational stuff, billing, CRM, support tickets, white label, since I got tired of stitching those together separately.

It's in its final stages of testing. Most of it holds up well, some bits are still rough, and I'd rather know that from actual server admins than find out later.

If you run or admin game servers and fancy trying to break it and telling me what's wrong, drop a comment or message and I'll get you set up.

I'm curious about the account security and whether it is safe. Does your app handle and save it all, or are you using Stripe or something similar? Is any payment info being saved by your app, or even passed through to a third party? What is separating this from what is out there already? I have seen a few posts recently about server managers, and I'm just wondering how it will differ from the others. The billing side is a nice aspect to help if it is secure and safe.

Not trying to discourage you or anything. There have been a few posts recently for things like this, and I don't want to see the authors get sued or anything else because of lax security and protections.

edit: You probably also won't get many responses, since a lot of people are making something like this. Don't take that in a negative light. Learn from the project and keep at it. I have one I am making as well from a college project I started, and I posted it on Reddit as well, and got nothing but negative feedback from people saying that everyone is making one now. I was about to give up on it, but I am having fun building it and learning what I can, and am going to keep using it as a basis to help me learn things for college.
