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
Seconding this. Itzg’s server is so easy, I taught my 15 year old niece to run one.
If you’re a beginner use Pufferpanel. Pterodactyl is a nightmare to setup and maintain.
My son has a Nintendo switch lite does this work with it?
well using a web gui it’ll make it easier for me to control the files and etc
I just use docker compose to manage my mc server.
All from the terminal but works very nice.
What errors are you getting? Can’t do much without knowing something about why it’s not starting up or is crashing once running.
Tons of comments telling OP to do it differently and almost none actually offering help lol
good news i fixed all the errors right now i am just making a map for my server if anyone is interested when its ready I can put the IP here if you guys wanna try it out
Please use a whitelist on your server! I cannot stress this enough
for testing or?
A minecraft whitelist. To prevent random people from joining and destroying your MC world.
this is going to be a public server for people to come
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.
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).tmux over screen 👀
Either works fine; I just use screen out of habit lol.
Is much nicer 👍
Spend $5 and buy AMP. You can run it in Windows and Docker.
well i made a lot of progress if you wish I could add my link to my discord server if we can do that here
Here’s a resource: https://serverfault.com/
