Please explain the issue you're experiencing in as much detail as possible. Preferably with error messages in a text format or paste link to logs. Nobody can assist you without information that helps to understand the issue. Help us help you. Messages such as "doesn't work" or "i need help" will most likely be ignored.

The documentation you are looking for can be found at https://pterodactyl.io/.

@raw lintel All the information you need should be in the docs linked in the message above this. If you get stuck on a specific step and you've tried troubleshooting on your own, post error messages and what you've already tried in the appropriate help channel. Most of the time the bot will have an automated response, and if not, if you've provided enough details we'll help you.

I just dont know what im susposed to be doing to at least get the website up lol

Never really made websites

[carmine latch]

The webserver configuration steps in the documentation go over loading the panel in a webserver. I recommend nginx

Make sure you generate certificates before you configure the webserver if you're using encryption.

[raw lintel]

what files do i need to have it its talking about removing stuff lol

i dont got any of these files downloaded

[visual onyx]

Everything is documented in the guide as Loki stated, and whilst it may seem fairly complicated, if you generally take your time to read through and not skip, you'll be okay 😄

[raw lintel]

Thanks man if i got any other questions i will ask!

[visual onyx]

Of course, always happy to answer questions related to this 😄

[raw lintel]

Where do i download the files for the Web server config its doesnt state

[raw lintel]

^

[carmine latch]

It's all in the documentation, if you can't find something you can usually find it by going back to the start and making sure you didn't miss a step.

[raw lintel]

Alr I will look when I get home

[raw lintel]

Where is this config or thing susposed to go @visual onyx

[carmine latch]

It says in the documentation

It gives the file paths and everything

[raw lintel]

This?

Cause thats the only thing im seeing

@carmine latch

@visual onyx

[carmine latch]

Yes, that tells you where to put the config

[raw lintel]

but i got no files with that directory

[carmine latch]

You make it

[visual onyx]

do nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/pterodactyl.conf and if you use centos just do the other path lol

[raw lintel]

How do you LOL

Im the most brain dead person you gotta help

[carmine latch]

https://chat.openai.com is probably your best bet for what you want. I'm not walking someone through the entire installation xD

[raw lintel]

Man

[carmine latch]

Just use #panel-in-docker at this point, it has virtually no setup. You just fill in the information. Then all you have to figure out is basic docker usage.

[visual onyx]

I am quite curious to why you have a host if you don't know how to execute linux commands?

[raw lintel]

First time using Linux

[visual onyx]

Most hosting infrastructure are built on top of a Linux Distro though, so you generally should get a grasp of the basics there first

[raw lintel]

also i know nothing about directory maaking

[visual onyx]

Yes, that is why I believe before proceeding, you should get a hold of the basic commands such as mkdir, nano, etc

[carmine latch]

This isn't the place to learn Linux, this is complex. There are multiple components and you have to understand how they all interact.

[raw lintel]

Is there a video at least?

[carmine latch]

Search "DigitalOcean Ubuntu (What you're trying to do)" and there is usually a guide. DigitalOcean has good guides.

[visual onyx]

You'll give yourself trouble by proceeding further down the line whilst not understand anything 😄

[raw lintel]

Yeah im used to just doing something and understanding it as i go

[carmine latch]

Won't work in this particular case unless you go with #panel-in-docker

[raw lintel]

Drawling a blank here where does the command go....

[visual onyx]

Of course, I get that. A lot of people learn by doing instead, though for the panel and it's components, I think it's going to be rather advanced and troublesome.

[raw lintel]

Yeah by that method of just going and trying to figure it out it is definitely a struggle

[carmine latch]

You use the docker-compose.yml file in #panel-in-docker pins. Fill out all the information, cd (directory with your docker-compose.yml), and docker compose up -d.

Once you verify the panel is up, use the Discord Search Feature in #panel-in-docker to see how people add the first user using docker exec.

[raw lintel]

Do i need a VPS?

cause i dont got one

[carmine latch]

You can host it on your home network and use a virtual machine for Linux or something.

[raw lintel]

Where is the start file in the Panel Download file

You need to be willing to help yourself
Not many people here will walk you though every little detail you need to install the panel.

Everything is documented. If you don't know how to use Linux, this isn't the software for you. Maybe look at wisp, which is a modified version of ptero, but paid and the panel is hosted for you.
