You're viewing a single thread.
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.
good news got to work and all just one issue I am having is I can't connect to it for some reason from my PC although its all working
how do you know it's working if you can't connect?
if you run the server on your computer, did you set up the port forwarding? does it work if you just connect to localhost, or the local ip of that computer?
