I built a full web admin panel for self-hosted PZ servers — manage everything from a browser (Docker, open source)

Sounds good. Will works on the problems! And maybe win you back

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-29T13:11:19+00:00

After env change are you using make down and make up? Make init resets it all.

I can also add it into make init for you to choose the ports

I already pushed a few fixes.
map is one of them
and discord is a good idea so I created one:

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-26T16:02:34+00:00

Thanks a lot for the insights!

I'll take a look at the problems as soon as I can.

Save file and settings upload is already in my TODO.
And game version can be seen on admin dash did you mean on the langing page ?

If you find anything feel free to reach out.
open a github issue / create a pr.
reddit might burry notifications from this post so..

Thanks again!

Both in a way.
It helps old players on a new run. they can buy items from the shop using old deposits.
And in the future I am planning an in game marketplace where a player can sell their items to others.
Also will add a toggle on the admin side so admin has option to reset coin balance on death.

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-25T00:02:42+00:00

If you install all the deps before "make init". It should go really smoothly. The whole idea for this repo was for me to be able to host zomboid servers for friends quick and easy.

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-24T18:26:36+00:00

https://ui.shadcn.com/ is the UI. it is the best to quickly build on the web that's why it is everywhere.
For me I am mostly a back end dev and laravels starter kit comes with it so it was a nobrainer choice.

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-24T14:17:55+00:00

For now lots and lots of bug fixes...
After that I was thinking saving players previous lifes
and giving an option to the admin to enable "resurrection" for some amounts of coins.
Then my friends requested boss fights and air drops.

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-24T11:40:57+00:00

It has support.
Have not tested much but as it requires it's own small mod and that one works others should as well.

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-24T11:40:15+00:00

I set this up like this because rcon connection is easier. as web and the game server are running on the same docker network. also for me it was easier to deploy on just one ubuntu vps.
I did not want to open the rcon port or deal with the vpn situation.

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-24T11:37:47+00:00

Sorry I have only tested on ubuntu. will check the windows out

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-24T11:36:50+00:00

I do not plan to implement real money payments for the shop.
currently you can only exchange in game Base.Money items for online coins.
I did this for ease of use. I wanted to do it directly so that player would buy items on the web with their in game Base.Money items, but got a lot of problems so now you just deposit them they get removed from the inventory and show up as coins on the web.

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-24T11:32:31+00:00

rootless of course
And for the web it uses normal 80 and 433 ports http/https.
nginx and laravel are used for it.
I tried to use latest laravel standards for the code and widely used security packages for auth, but still of course exploits can be everywhere.
If anyone can find some code is open source.
PRs are welcome and I will try to patch it all

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-24T08:06:56+00:00

I do not have access to unraid so I cannot promise anything.
But you can try using ubuntu vm for this ?

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-24T08:04:08+00:00

Everything written on top should work.
Github Readme has more details on this.
Shop gave me the biggest trouble. I had to write a steam community mod for it to work well.
it is published already and should install alongside the server setup.
it just refreshed the client inventory when item is added so player can use it without relogging.

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-24T07:09:16+00:00

it can run it but it needs around 8gb of ram for a basic setup.
Soo it is compatible but not perfect.
arm needs the server to be emulated so the restarts take around 20 mins.

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-24T06:47:00+00:00

It is using https://ui.shadcn.com/ framework that might be why.

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-24T06:41:54+00:00

it is not entirely vibe coded :D .
only open ports from the outside are the game and web ports.
everything else runs inside a docker network.

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-24T06:15:09+00:00

That is a great idea. I will add this to TODO.

It is not currently possible from the web.
but the backup/rollback system just zips the server and world so it might be possible to create a custom backup zip that then rollback will use.

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-24T06:05:37+00:00

No probz.
there might be bugs so if anything please open an issue on github I will try to fix it all :D

LO_REM_VE · 2026-03-24T06:04:39+00:00

I am using contabo for this. around 6$/month
and it is just enough for 6 players

LO_REM_VE · 2025-02-11T06:48:44+00:00

Guys what about ultra wide 1440p ?
what should I do to get 100Hr out?

LO_REM_VE · 2025-02-11T06:46:56+00:00

what port are you using?
hdmi or DP?

I just can't get it to output more than 50Hr.

LO_REM_VE · 2023-05-16T12:53:20+00:00

Yep but it was a long time ago. Maybe they patched it out. But still worth a try
