MashoDev / development

Development environment setup for Pterodactyl. This is used internally by our development team to ensure getting Pterodactyl running in a development environment is a painless as possible.

Pterodactyl Vagrant Environment

This repository provides a basic vagrant environment suitable for development of Pterodactyl on your local machine.

Getting Started

You'll need the following things installed on your machine.

• Vagrant
• VirtualBox
• Docker
• mkcert

You'll also need the following Vagrant plugins: vagrant-hostmanager and vagrant-vbguest

First Run

These commands should be run if this will be your first time running Pterodactyl and you do not already have a .env file configured.

vagrant up
vagrant up --provision-with setup app

Subsequent Runs

Once you already have everything setup for the app, you can simply run vagrant up. If you only need the application, and have your own SQL server, redis, and mailhog (or some combination), you can run vagrant up [boxes] and replace [boxes] with the boxes to bring online.

Daemons

There are VMs for both, the old and the new, daemons configured. They do not start automatically. You can start them using vagrant up daemon (for the nodejs one) and vagrant up wings (the golang one).

Updating /etc/hosts

On your first run, and whenever the hostnames change, you'll have to run vagrant hostmanager app --provider docker to update your /etc/hosts file.

Configuring the Environment

A vagrant.config.yml can be used to configure the following properties of the environment. All values are optional.

wings: # the VM used for wings
  cpus: 2
  memory: 2048
