Zandronum Server Launcher

This is a simple server launcher web application for Zandronum, a multiplayer source port for the classic first-person shooter, Doom. The application is built using Python Flask, and allows users to launch and manage multiple Zandronum servers from a web interface.

This is a personal project just for fun. A lot of problems will never be solved.

Use at your own risk !!!
