Unsatisfied with existing Docker solutions for hosting my own server, I decided to build my own. Somewhere along the way, I lost the plot and ended up creating a full-fledged server management web portal. It includes features like backup creation & restoration, mod installation & updates, version switching, and direct terminal access.
I built this over a couple of weekends, so it's very experimental.
Automatic backups are created every time you install or update a mod. These backups include save files, mods, and mod configurations.
Security note: The web portal is currently public and has no authentication. Make sure to keep it locked behind your firewall.
I thought some people might find this interesting, if not useful. If you're brave enough to test it, you might help shape its future development. I'll keep working on it at a small scale for my own use, but if there’s interest, I’m open to expanding its functionality.
Let me know what you think!

Docker Command
Just run the following to get it running. All your VintageStory data, server versions, and backups will be located in the .data/vintage-story volume.
docker run -d \
--name vintage-server-manager \
--restart unless-stopped \
-p 42420:42420 \
-p 1337:8080 \
-v .data/vintage-story:/app/vintage-story \
git.retto.ph/tony/vintage-server-manager:latest

Planned Features
Authentication. Right now the web portal is publicly accessible. Not a priority as my use case is self hosting and i've simply locked the portal behind my firewall.
Automated backups
Mod configuration editor
Save file management
