Want to build the spatial web on your website? Looking for a place to start? Run a web metaverse cluster yourself on your own computer.
The Ethereal Engine Control Center is a self-contained Metaverse world in a box. Take what you need or launch the full stack. Ethereal Engine Control Center is a desktop app to manage a metaverse cluster.
We know it's been complicated to build with #EtherealEngine and we've made this tool to give the community easy access to the engine for development and creation. The full Kubernetes cluster can run on Windows and any Debian Linux distro with at least 16 GB of ram.
We would love to see your creations and invite you all to come build with us. We've got a long backlog and need your help to build the Open Metaverse. Come build with us!

This issue is mainly due to Docker Desktop being installed in default location. Here are the steps you can follow to fix this:
- Uninstall existing installation of Docker Desktop in Windows.
- Download latest version of Docker Desktop for Windows.
- Open Command Prompt (cmd).
- Change current working directory to downloaded Docker Desktop folder. i.e.
cd "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Downloads"- Run following command to install Docker Desktop in a folder other than default one.
"Docker Desktop Installer.exe" install --accept-license --installation-dir=C:\DockerOn Windows, if you are unable to see Git status after cluster configuration and getting following error in logs:
git configs - "fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at <path to engine directory>\nTo add an exception for this directory, call:\n\n\tgit config --global --add safe.directory <path to engine directory>\n"This is due to the app not having permissions to read the Git config file. To fix this, run Ethereal Engine Control Center as administrator.
