petrodactl?
winged wyvern
yes
pastel flame
then you need to create on in curseforge
pastel flame
i would just choose a different hoster lol
winged wyvern
do i really need to do alll this?
thin light
for petrodactyl yes
winged wyvern
what if i run the create mods on fabric?
thin light
the pack is forge and curseforge is not forge
pastel flame
curseforge is not forge
thin light
if the pack was fabric but hosted on curseforge it would still need an API key for petrodactyl
that is how petrodactyl works. they want you to have the API key
they don't use a global one
winged wyvern
dam thats stupid xD
thin light
just how petrodactyl operates
since they also do ark survival too
ah wait it's a selfhost utility yeah no wonder
thin light
I knew of petrodactyl but I viewed it as a server host. not a selfhost utility
pastel flame
just run the server manually lol
thin light
they probably want the server containerised
hence petrodactyl
but yeah to pull mods etc petrodactyl needs an API key
winged wyvern
i will just ask for a api key then its an easy setup
thin light
it is pretty easy and once you have it no coding needed. just put it in then petrodactyl can do all the calls to the API
pastel flame
https://docker-minecraft-server.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mods-and-plugins/ this seems to be pretty straightforward too
and has an option to download the zip file so doesn't need an api key
thin light
that works but if they are already using petrodactyl why not just get the api key?
pastel flame
i mean sure
just giving an alternative as i don't know how complicated it is on curseforge
winged wyvern
alr thank u both i hope i get the api key not sure if i need to be eccapeted or i get instand an api key
winged wyvern
it is pretty easy and once you have it no coding needed. just put it in then pet...
what do i need to fill in here?
thin light
honestly I do not know. not done this before
pastel flame
just giving an alternative as i don't know how complicated it is on curseforge
thats what i meant with complicated
i don't think the API is really meant for something like your usecase
winged wyvern
i don't think the API is really meant for something like your usecase
probably yeah but i like the pterodactyl panel etc can i still use that?
also im new to the whole self hosting so i dont want to much coding or terminal stuff
pastel flame
probably yeah but i like the pterodactyl panel etc can i still use that?
no you'd have to use docker directly
