Using the installation scripts

To use the installation scripts, simply run this command as root. The script will ask you whether you would like to install just the panel, just the daemon or both.

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vilhelmprytz/pterodactyl-installer/master/install.sh)

Note: On some systems, it's required to be already logged in as root before executing the one-line command (where sudo is in front of the command does not work).

Here is a YouTube video that illustrates the installation process.

Firewall setup

The installation scripts do not configure your firewall automatically.

Debian/Ubuntu

On Debian and Ubuntu, ufw can be used. Install it using apt.

apt install -y ufw

Panel

The script can automatically open the ports for SSH (22), HTTP (80) and HTTPS (443). The installer script should ask whether you'd like it to configure UFW automatically or not.

Daemon

Allow 8080 and 2022.

ufw allow 8080
ufw allow 2022

Enable the firewall

Make sure to also enable SSH (or allow SSH from your IP only, depending on your setup).

ufw allow ssh

Enable the firewall.

ufw enable

CentOS

On CentOS, firewall-cmd can be used.

Panel

Allow HTTP and HTTPS.

firewall-cmd --add-service=http --permanent
firewall-cmd --add-service=https --permanent

Daemon

Allow 8080 and 2022.

firewall-cmd --add-port 8080/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --add-port 2022/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=trusted --change-interface=docker0

Enable the firewall

Reload the firewall to enable the changes.

firewall-cmd --reload
