Welcome to the Pterodactyl Installer repository! 🎉 This installer is designed to help you easily install and set up the Pterodactyl Panel on Debian-based or RHEL-based machines. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, please refer to our troubleshooting section for helpful tips. 🛠️

Installation 📝

Follow these steps to get started:

1. 🧹 Prepare your machine: Ensure that your machine is freshly reinstalled if you've made any changes to it beforehand. A clean setup will help avoid conflicts during installation.

2. 🌐 DNS Configuration: Point a DNS A-Record to your machine's IP address. For example, you can point panel.example.com to Example --> 86.144.10.13.

3. 📥 Download and Run the 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/sensei-this/pterodactyl-installer/main/install.sh || wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sensei-this/pterodactyl-installer/main/install.sh) auto

📌 Database Installation on Pterodactyl

1️⃣ Preparing the Server

🔹 Make sure you have Pterodactyl Panel and Wings installed.
🔹 Install MySQL or MariaDB on the panel server.
🔹 Check if port 3306 (or another if using a custom one) is open.

Installint phpmyadmin

export PHPMYADMIN_VERSION=$(curl --silent https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/ | grep "btn btn-success download_popup" | sed -n 's/.*href="\([^"]*\).*/\1/p' | tr '/' '\n' | grep -E '^.*[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$')

for

cd /var/www/pterodactyl/public && wget https://files.phpmyadmin.net/phpMyAdmin/$PHPMYADMIN_VERSION/phpMyAdmin-$PHPMYADMIN_VERSION-all-languages.zip && unzip phpMyAdmin-$PHPMYADMIN_VERSION-all-languages.zip && rm phpMyAdmin-$PHPMYADMIN_VERSION-all-languages.zip && mv phpMyAdmin-$PHPMYADMIN_VERSION-all-languages pma

2️⃣ Configuring Database Access

🔹 Open the database configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf

🔹 Find the following line:

bind-address = 127.0.0.1

If you have an IP replace 127.0.0.1 with your IP address (e.g., Example --> 0.0.0.0).
If you have a domain replace 127.0.0.1 with your IP address (e.g., Example --> 86.144.10.13).

🔹 Save the changes (Ctrl + X → Y → Enter).

🔹 Restart MySQL/MariaDB:

sudo systemctl restart mysql

sudo systemctl restart mariadb

🔹 Open MySQL:

mysql -u root -p

🔹 Select the MySQL database:

USE mysql;

🔹 Create a new user:

CREATE USER 'username'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

🔹 Grant all privileges:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'username'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;

🔹 Flush privileges:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

🔹 Exit MySQL:

EXIT;

3️⃣ Creating a Database in the Panel

1. Log into Pterodactyl Panel as an administrator.
2. Go to Admin Panel → Databases.
3. Click Create Database.
4. Specify:
   • Database Name
   • Server to link the database to
   • Database Host (your IP or 127.0.0.1 if local)
5. Save the changes.

---

✅ Done!

Your database is now set up and ready to use! 🚀

Post Installation 🛠️

• Please note that "example.com" refers to the panel URL you set during the installation process. 🌐

1. After the installation is complete, go to http://example.com/admin/nodes/view/1/allocation to add the necessary ports for your games. 🎮

Troubleshooting ⚠️

1. 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. 🔄

2. If you encounter Let's Encrypt SSL generation errors 🔒, it could be because you're using an IP address instead of a domain, or because the FQDN you're trying to generate an SSL for doesn't have an A-Record pointing to your machine IP. 🌍
