Pufferpanel is an alternative to Pterodactyl. So it Pelican Panel. I’d use Pufferpanel for easier setup maintenance.
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: https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server
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.
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. It will cost ~ 5-10$ per month. Then:
-
Point the domain from cloudflare to that VPS by changing the dns records in cloudflare
-
Install some linux on it like debian.
-
Get into that linux by using ssh.
-
Then follow the installation instructions on the pterodactyl website. https://pterodactyl.io/panel/1.0/getting_started.html
do you have discord by chance sorry for asking just so I can ask stuff and I already have an ubuntu server setup isn’t that like an vps already
If you already have a server then follow the installation instructions on the pterodactyl website. https://pterodactyl.io/panel/1.0/getting_started.html
Then if some step goes wrong:
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.
The pterodactyl discord will probably be more helpful there.

I’ve always just run the server directly from the JAR in a
screensession. If you’re just running a simple server and don’t need the features of Pterodactyl it’s definitely the easiest option. Just download the JAR from Minecraft’s website to a new directory, and run withjava -Xmx4G -Xms4G -jar minecraft_server.1.21.6.jar nogui(The page says 1 gig of RAM, but I’d recommend more if you have it available).what is pterodactyl?
a server game management panel
Here’s a resource: https://serverfault.com/
I would also like to know, I’m on Linux.
