Factorio Server Manager is a self-hosted web interface for controlling a dedicated Factorio game server. It runs alongside the server and lets you start or stop it, upload and download saves, manage mods and modpacks, view logs and configuration, and protect access with user authentication. It is useful for players and self-hosters who want an easy way to host a multiplayer Factorio server without manually editing server files.

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.
