Suggestion – New Repository for Setting Up Pokémon Showdown Side Server via Web Control Panel.

[TurboRx]

Hi,
Would it be possible to develop a new repository that allows users to set up a Pokémon Showdown side server using a web-based control panel? This would be especially helpful for those who are not familiar with terminal or CLI-based setups.

Benefits:

• No Terminal Knowledge Required – Users can deploy the server without needing to use any command-line tools.

• Quick & Easy Deployment – One-click setup and management for Pokémon Showdown side servers.

• User-Friendly Admin Interface – Easily edit files like config.js, usergroups.csv, and other files from the interface.

• Mobile-Friendly Access – The control panel can be accessed and used from mobile devices too.

• Start/Stop/Restart Buttons – Easily control server runtime without external tools.

• Real-Time Log Viewer – View server logs directly from the control panel.

• Open Source Friendly – Developers can contribute, extend, and improve the system via GitHub.

• Integrated Hosting Options – Optional integration with platforms like AWS, Railway, or Degital Ocean etc for easier hosting.

This kind of tool could make side server hosting much more accessible and beginner-friendly.

I initially found this idea a bit weird, but if it's actually possible to develop, then it would be really helpful.

Hi. Thank you for the idea.

It is completely possible. There are many hosting providers for games like Minecraft that offer a control panel, so clients do not need to use the terminal.

You could develop something like that as your own project. I'm currently not interested at all in hosting Pokemon Showdown servers, so it is not a project I would do.
