so i have the server i need and everything but it all comes crashing down with pterodactyl as I don’t know much on it can someone help or guide me please
Does it have to be pterodactyl? I have two servers set up with Docker and they were very easy to set up.
I use this: github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server
If you’re a beginner use Pufferpanel. Pterodactyl is a nightmare to setup and maintain.
Itgz has Java and Bedrock variants, and there are a few useful helper tools out there for bedrock.
Seconding this. Itzg’s server is so easy, I taught my 15 year old niece to run one.
well using a web gui it’ll make it easier for me to control the files and etc
Is much nicer 👍
There is no competition to Minecraft.
Sounds like you are in head over heels.
Pterodactyl has a discord, why don’t you go there for dedicated support?
Regardless of where you ask - if you want help you should provide detailed information. Tell exactly what commands you entered, from start to finish, not skipping anything and provide the outputs that you’ve gotten, especially the errors.
well i’ve downloaded the panel and wings now I have a domain I bought from cloudfare but after that I don’t know what else to do
Gotta set up DNS to point to your server, here’s a quick guide on how to accomplish this, but cloudflare might have their own guide that would be more specific to your platform.
You can not run pterodactyl on cloudflare.
For pterodactyl or any gaming server, you need a real server with a real operating system that you get full control over.
Instead look for cheap VPS options in your country. Make sure their specs are good enough for a minecraft server.
Install some linux on it like debian.
Get into that linux by using ssh.
Then follow the installation instructions on the pterodactyl website.
what is pterodactyl?
a server game management panel
I would also like to know, I’m on Linux.
Here’s a resource: serverfault.com

Pufferpanel is an alternative to Pterodactyl. So it Pelican Panel. I’d use Pufferpanel for easier setup maintenance.
