I'm currently trying to get both the panel and the wings running on the same server (because...why would I need two servers for that 😅) by combining the two docker-compose files but I somehow can't get it to work (also behind traefik that is). - traefik.http.services.heimdall.loadbalancer.server.port=80Since the video is a simplified version (not using traefik), are you exposing any ports in your "production" deployment of pterodactyl with traefik? |

Hello Tim, a small error has crept into your documentation. Under 'Create a User' you forgot the last letter in make It should be docker-compose run --rm panel php artisan p:user:make |

I was having this issue. If you are using pihole & traefik to have wildcard SSL certs within your local network like I was, you'll need to change the DNS server of the server running the pterodactyl panel to point at pihole. You'll need to look up how to change your DNS depending on which distro your using |

-
|
I should add, you'll also need to include your node in your traefik config.yml & will need a local DNS entry within pihole similar to your other local dns setups |

Hey, the docker image for pterodactyl seems to be broken, inside the container netstat showed nothing listening on port 443. |

Aah nevermind, i figured out that you need to send traffic to Port 80, not 443 when using Traefik. |

I am trying to merge the knowledge from both your videos together (about how to install traefik with wildcard certificates and this one), with some other sources sprinkled in. But I am having huge issues though. Would be awesome to have one video setting up a gameserver from start to finish with all necessary VMs, docker, traefik, portainer. Right now I am stuck since the panel uses the same 443 port as the traefik container ("Bind for 0.0.0.0:443 failed: port is already allocated"). -.- |

The one deal that worked for me was to run the docker-compose file and when everything was running, restart MariaDB only and that should start normally afterwards. |

Running into an issue with this binding the volumes directory. I've tried changing the UID and GUID used in the compose file for the wings but when you install a server it pulls the image and then says that the volume can't be found and throws an error about the bind container@pterodactyl~ Error Event [290f1afb-ec64-48c8-a73b-6485f54ae532]: environment/docker: failed to run pre-boot process: environment/docker: failed to create container: Error response from daemon: invalid mount config for type "bind": bind source path does not exist: /var/lib/pterodactyl/volumes/c2892941-51b9-4910-929b-6bda356ca375 The crazy part is that everything else is working fine and the volume directory is present and the permissions seem to be correct as well but I'm lost as to why this is failing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled docker 4 times now, purged the images and compose scripts and started this process fresh more times than I can count thinking that maybe I missed something along the way but still get the same result here. I initially ran into issues with the default ubuntu firewall and had to remove all of that because the ports wouldn't respond at all. I'll lock that down again once I get things working but otherwise I'm just stuck here at the moment. |

So, the rabbit hole gets deeper. I have even tried running this using the traefik configuration and with that I end up with a CORS issue that I can't resolve at the moment either. Effectively, I'm finding this whole tutorial to not work and not sure where things are going amiss here. I setup the panel to run on a raspberry pi I have lying around and the panel works fine but when the wings agent is connected and showing green in the panel the wings agent is unable to install a server. So then if I try removing the pi out of the equation and start with a brand new install of ubuntu on an old pc and try running this I can get the panel running but then it can't connect to the wings agent due to a CORS issue. I even tried following another guide to try and work around this issue entirely from https://github.com/EdyTheCow/docker-pterodactyl but this one has a whole other pile of problems and when I correct my way through those and get traefik to see the panel it ends up having the same CORS issue even though I'm using 2 separate domains. Honestly, I've had better luck just standing up separate docker containers for game servers instead of trying to get a management panel in place like this within docker and I just don't know where to turn at this point. Do you need 2 separate servers to run this thing? If so, that would be great to know. Example: domain.com running traefik with a wildcard subdomain *.domain.com to issue SSL certs to wing0.domain.com results in CORS error ( Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://wing0.domain.com/api/system. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null). ) Other issue arise with this as well where panel.domain.com throws error in the console for 500 errors and if you try to edit previous node for anything you get a 500 error as well. It has been one hell of a struggle so far I tell ya and I have made 0 progress with this and honestly ready to call it quits. Not even sure if anyone can see my questions here or if they have run into similar issues with this. Any insight or possible solutions I could try are more than welcome here as well. |

so I figured it out you need to use the cors and security middleware but, you need to point the service to http://yourip:yourport emphasis HTTP. The panel node should be setup like described with 443 as the daemon port behind a proxy. also, i would make sure you specify both your trusted proxy and allowed orgins in the wing config.yml. |

In my case panel and Wings are on the same machine, in two different containers. The way docker-compose is set up both use port 443 and of course the containers don't start because port 443 can't be associated with two containers at the same time. how can I solve this? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
@marcodantonio - Change your port declaration to something like the below. The first number (before the colon "11443:) is the port you are using on the machine and it has to be unique. The number after the colon (443) is the port the program is using inside a container. As you run more containers on the same machine you will have to find free port numbers to use so they don't overlap. ports: |

|
I know this. I don't know if the problem is for Wings. Let me explain: in the config.yaml file as per the video I set it to use port 443. But in theory, there is no need to open the port since the two containers are on the same network, right? Then how come I keep getting the red heart? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
The reason you get red heart. As it needs to still talk to the wings/deamon manager on port 443 too, which clash.. and as 443 is default port for https , you will have issues, unless you do some port forwarding stuff... the best solution for this to be on the same "machine" , you can make 3 "containers" good place for preconfigured containers is https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ (for Debian and NPM) |

I am having an issue with the deployment of the panel. I added the server to my traefik config in order to connect via a custom domain. When using the domain I designated I get a bad gate way issue. when connecting to to the panel via the IP it will connect and i can sign in. However when I navigate to the setting tab I get a connection refused error. Not really sure what I am doing wrong. |

It doesn't work no matter what I do. I've followed so many different paths just to get absolutely nothing at all. its useless. Tim skips steps and brushes off important things and expects you to figure it out. I've been at this for 3 whole days with nothing to show for it. I've tried everything I could think of and nothing is working at all. |

I really wish I could get this working. I can't get Let's Encrypt to actually validate my domain, even though it works fine for everywhere else, I think that the Let's Encrypt issue is likely causing my connections issues because I can't even load the panel. From what I've seen, the installation of this tool is godawful. I've spent over a day going between different install guides (even using several provided on their website) and searching around their Discord. From what I've seen the devs just refuse to help with any kind of installation problems and immediately close issues without offering any help or advice. When they do deign to reply, it's normally to insult users and tell them to stop trying to install their software. I'm sure this is a tool that works fine, when you can get it working, but nothing surrounding this entire experience, including your advice here, has been helpful or positive. |

I got it working by giving up on https validation, instead i changed cloudflare to be my DNS server, and used their API keys in traefik with dns validation to get it working. The devs of let's encrypt beeing annoyed is understandable, since your issue likely lies with traefik or it's misconfiguration, not their service. Plus is, you can easily configure a server based dynamic DNS, by using another docker container for it. |

Have you found a way to spin this up with the new panel and wings? I was able to get this to work a while back but it has since become unstable, and won't let you access the sever management area without crashing. The version Tim used also unfortunately can not be updated. Would love to reinstall the new version of this. Perhaps you have a updated docker-compose I could get from you? |

So, I, probably like a few of you, was having some issues. I wanted to put this on the same server I was running the reverse proxy from, in the one I created from the guide linked above. Many issues arrived from this due to it needing the same ports. I couldn't open them for it to communicate to the proxy network, and if I manually added the panel, it would need to be readded every update/reboot. You can't even change the network at the bottom of the docker compose to use proxy, as it was ignoring that and creating it's own. What I ended up finding was this: you can add BOTH networks to the docker compose, and specify the panel to connect to the proxy network as well. Here: ...
panel:
image: ghcr.io/pterodactyl/panel:latest
restart: always
# Commenting this out, as is on the same device (and now network) as the reverse proxy -Gin
# ports:
# - "80:80"
# - "443:443"
links:
- database
- cache
volumes:
- "/srv/pterodactyl/var/:/app/var/"
- "/srv/pterodactyl/nginx/:/etc/nginx/http.d/"
- "/srv/pterodactyl/certs/:/etc/letsencrypt/"
- "/srv/pterodactyl/logs/:/app/storage/logs"
environment:
<<: [*panel-environment, *mail-environment]
DB_PASSWORD: *db-password
APP_ENV: "production"
APP_ENVIRONMENT_ONLY: "false"
CACHE_DRIVER: "redis"
SESSION_DRIVER: "redis"
QUEUE_DRIVER: "redis"
REDIS_HOST: "cache"
DB_HOST: "database"
DB_PORT: "3306"
# This specifies Panel to join both the default and proxy network - Gin
networks:

Hey, awesome post and great video first and foremost! I'd like to know if you've discovered a way to easily put game server containers (deployed by the wing agent) behind traefik. Because everytime I deploy a new game server (minecraft, rust, gmod, etc...), it can only be accessed through the ip address and port, but I'd like to remove the port mapping and instead force it to use the traefik reverse proxy. Thx in advance! |

Hi, i'm using Traefik for load balancing and pterodactyl, wings on the same machine. I have portainer running in another container and mapped by traefik and it works well (with approximately the same labels config). But Ptero won't work and tells me Bad gateway.. Is it a port mapping issue ? |

I am stuck with a red heart. I have plenty of other things running on my server so 443 was not available. I changed it to 444 on the outside of the container, how would that impact everything that follows? Would the Daemon port need to be 444? What else would be good to double check to make it work? |

It's gotta use 443, that's the port that ssl uses... |

Maybe I don't understand how to use the proxy manager. Because nginx proxy manager is what is using port 443. I am using portainer to deploy things, and so had to change the external ports for something to deploy. |

In your pterodactyl config Then make sure to point your proxy to 30001. for Wings.. you might be able to get away with 8443 another SSL port.. but I run wings on a seperate server. |

You might be able to change wings config the same way, then uses the damon port in the interface to point at the port you used in the wings docker config. But honestly I'm just guessing on this. |

Hey everyone. I followed the documentation as described in the guide with the only difference being that I used the HA-Proxy package in pfSense as my reverse proxy. Setting this up initially, I ran into issues getting the panel to connect to the wings agent. I kept getting a CORS errors and warnings about missing packet headers. After some troubleshooting, I turned to google, which led me to a reddit thread that suggested going into my HA-Proxy backend (Services/HAProxy/Backend/Edit) that was handling the wings traffic and simply disabling the Encrypt(SSL) setting in the server list. I did that and sure enough it just started working. Im guessing it has something to do with not needing a certificate for the daemon connection since its not HTTPS traffic. Whatever the reason, it wasnt at all obvious to me at the time, so I wanted to comment here for next time I need to set this up with this guide. (Oh and I guess for anyone else here that this may help...) |
