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
good news i fixed all the errors right now i am just making a map for my server if anyone is interested when its ready I can put the IP here if you guys wanna try it out
Please use a whitelist on your server! I cannot stress this enough
What errors are you getting? Can't do much without knowing something about why it's not starting up or is crashing once running.
OP, you bring back memories. I had an absolute blast running my server. Now, I had mine set up on a baremetal VPS with some balls because I was running a lot of add-ons and shaders. Good luck with your project. Minecraft, to me, is a bit more than just a game when you get into the guts of it.

You’d enjoy Vintage Story. It started as the Vintage Craft mod, but it got too big for MC. Still in early access, but already a great game, with a built in modding API
I’m sure I’d dig it. Alas, my seizure condition now won’t let me play moving graphics games. It can/does induce a seizure, which chaps my ass something fierce because there are a lot of kick ass games I’d like to try. Those graphics on Vintage Story look very nice.
I just use docker compose to manage my mc server.
All from the terminal but works very nice.
do you use a premade compose file or did you write your own? i started out my own but it quickly got very complicated…
I wrote my own but it’s manageable. I use mods, resource packs, data packs and have a whitelist. I make sure to backup the compose file from time to time.
I need to move mine, my current solution kinda sucks.
Pufferpanel is an alternative to Pterodactyl. So it Pelican Panel. I’d use Pufferpanel for easier setup maintenance.
Is much nicer 👍
There is no competition to Minecraft.
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
My son has a Nintendo switch lite does this work with it?
If you’re a beginner use Pufferpanel. Pterodactyl is a nightmare to setup and maintain.
well using a web gui it’ll make it easier for me to control the files and etc
Seconding this. Itzg’s server is so easy, I taught my 15 year old niece to run one.
Itgz has Java and Bedrock variants, and there are a few useful helper tools out there for bedrock.
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.
Here’s a resource: serverfault.com
what is pterodactyl?
a server game management panel
I would also like to know, I’m on Linux.

Spend $5 and buy AMP. You can run it in Windows and Docker.
