The Road Ahead

This roadmap reflects our current development plan. Features and release assignments may evolve as development progresses. Releases are milestone-based, not tied to arbitrary deadlines.

What v1.0 is planned to include

• Game-server lifecycle and managementInstall, run and maintain game servers from one place, starting with Minecraft Java and growing from there.
• Infrastructure and execution environmentsRun servers where it makes sense: directly on Linux hosts, in supported container runtimes, or on Proxmox VE.
• Files, configuration and game profilesWork with server files and settings safely, and capture how a game is installed as a reusable profile.
• Backups and recoveryTreat recovery as a feature: backups you can verify, restores you can trust, and servers you can clone.
• Multi-user administration and tenant isolationShare one installation between people and communities without sharing more than you intend.
• Automation, monitoring and notificationsLet routine work run itself and know when something needs your attention.
• WaystoneOS and deployment flexibilityInstall Waystone the way your environment prefers, or start from a purpose-built appliance.
