Defuse

Self-hosted web admin panel for Counter-Strike 2 dedicated servers.

RCON console, live log streaming, player management, map control, and multi-server support — all in a single Go binary you can run alongside your CS2 container.

⚠️ Early development. Not yet production-ready.

Features

• RCON console with autocomplete for commands and CVARs
• Live logs streamed over Server-Sent Events
• Player management — search, kick, SteamID resolution
• Map control — standard maps, workshop IDs, browser-stored favorites
• CVAR presets — pill buttons for common server configs
• Multi-server support with header dropdown switching
• Auth — sessions by default, optional reverse-proxy SSO pass-through

Screenshots

Coming soon.

Requirements

• A CS2 dedicated server reachable over RCON (typically a Docker container which I have used joedwards32/cs2)
• Go 1.22+ (for building from source)
• Bun 1.x (for building the frontend from source)

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/codevski/defuse
cd defuse
cp .env.example .env       # set PANEL_PASSWORD, RCON_PASSWORD, STEAM_GSLT
docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost:8080.

Configuration

Servers are configured in config.yml. Secrets come from environment variables.

See config.example.yml and .env.example.
