Installing Pterodactyl
This guide walks you through the process of using our custom Pterodactyl Panel installation bash script to easily setup the Pterodactyl Panel. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, our troubleshooting section has some helpful tips.
Installation:
Fresh Linux Installation
To get started, it's important to ensure that your machine is freshly reinstalled if you've made any changes to it beforehand.
Create DNS Record
Point a DNS A-Record to your machine's IP address, such as panel.example.com to 192.168.53.72.
Execute Installer
To download and run the installer, simply enter the following command into your terminal and follow the prompts:
bash <(curl -Ss https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ForestRacks/PteroInstaller/Production/install.sh || wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ForestRacks/PteroInstaller/Production/install.sh) autoNote: There will be a prompt with three installation modes, "basic mode" is recommended for people who know very little about linux or want to create a test environment since it automates the entire setup process.
Post Install
After the installation is complete, go to http://<domain>/admin/nodes/view/1/allocation to add the necessary ports for your games.
Note: <domain> refers to the panel Subdomain or IP you used during the installation process.
Troubleshooting:
- If you receive a mysql connection error, you may have run the installer multiple times – in this case, the best solution is to reinstall your operating system and run the install script again.
- If you encounter Let's Encrypt SSL generation errors, make sure you have an A-Record for the domain pointing to your correct IP and if you use Cloudflare, make sure the proxy is turned off.
