What it is
MineOS.net is a Minecraft server manager for admins, with a browser interface for server controls, console access, backups and monitoring. It supports Vanilla, Paper, Spigot, Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Quilt and Bedrock servers. Admins can start, stop, kill or import servers, manage operator status, and edit whitelists and bans. The live console view streams server output and accepts commands. Stats include TPS, player count, uptime and activity. For modded servers, the manager offers one-click installation from CurseForge or Modrinth. It can create scheduled automatic backups and restore them with a click, and includes a web file manager and multi-user roles. Servers can run in Docker isolation or be broadcast on a LAN for local play. MineOS.net is free and open source, and is described as a beta focused on stability. Installation requires Docker; its one-line installer supports macOS, Linux and Windows and bootstraps Docker. Questions and issue reports go through GitHub Discussions and Issues, which require a free GitHub account to submit.

Who it suits
MineOS.net suits Minecraft admins who want browser-based controls across several server types, including modded and Bedrock servers. It is also a fit for communities that want scheduled backups, shared roles or LAN play, provided they can install Docker.
MineOS.net brings server controls, console access, backups and basic monitoring into a browser interface. Its beta status and Docker requirement are worth considering before making it part of a server setup.
