0001 · Zelie is open to everyone

A Minecraft server called survival, running Paper, on its Console tab in Zelie. The sidebar lists four apps, two databases and two game servers. The log shows two players joining and chatting, a yellow warning that the server is running behind and a red line about a chunk being repaired.

Zelie Free is open from today. Make a Caria Core account, take the install command from it and run it on your own server: apps, databases and game servers, in one small panel.

What Zelie is

Zelie is a server panel for your own Linux server. Websites and APIs, their databases and game servers run side by side under one login, with backups and metrics for each. It is one Go binary of about 50 MB, with no PHP and no Docker.

It keeps itself up to date without stopping what runs on it. An update restarts only Zelie, never your apps or game servers, and an automatic update has to stay up for a minute or the old version comes back. Updates come with one click, or in one round each night.

How to install it

  1. Make an account. Sign in with Steam or sign up with an email address, then verify the email. An install command is only made for an account with a verified email.
  2. Get the install command from your account. It works once and for one hour.
  3. Run it on your server, as root, on Debian or Ubuntu, amd64 or arm64. It checks the download's signature and the server, then asks how people will reach the panel: a domain, a Cloudflare Tunnel or the server's IP address. At the end it prints a link to create the administrator.

The panel links itself to your account when it first starts, and you can disconnect it at any time. Install Zelie walks through the three steps, and the install guide lists what the server needs.

What Free includes

Free is everything Zelie does today, on a server of your own: one node, up to 3 game servers, 3 apps and 3 databases. Pro and Business come next, one for running your own business and one for selling hosting; the three editions are on the Zelie page. Nothing you use today moves behind a paywall.

Zelie is still in early development and changes every week. Every release is on the updates page. Questions and bug reports go to Discord or a support ticket.

A fresh devlog

The earlier entries are gone. They described plans, and a site, that have changed since, and keeping them meant old answers sitting next to new ones. The count starts again at 0001.

The games are next

The games come next. They will be announced here in the next week or two.
