This guide will go over how to create servers on Pterodactyl.
Eggs
This guide will refer to eggs frequently. An egg is a file which tells Pterodactyl how to install, launch, and manage whatever application the egg is advertising. It tells Pterodactyl what commands to execute to download the software, setup it's environment, and what configuration options should be available to server operators.[1]
As all servers are different, so to are not all egg installations the same. Some degree of basic server and computer literacy will be necessary. This guide will aim to be as helpful as possible in spite of this.
Footnotes
- ↑ For example, for the Arma server, it's egg tells Pterodactyl's GUI to provide an option to change the server's modlist. It maps the input made on the GUI to the relevant configuration file on the server.
