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://pterodactyl-installer.se)
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 can install and configure a firewall for you. The script will ask whether you want this or not. It is highly recommended to opt-in for the automatic firewall setup.
Development & Ops
Testing the script locally
To test the script, we use Vagrant. With Vagrant, you can quickly get a fresh machine up and running to test the script.
If you want to test the script on all supported installations in one go, just run the following.
vagrant up
If you only want to test a specific distribution, you can run the following.
vagrant up <name>
Replace name with one of the following (supported installations).
ubuntu_focalubuntu_bionicdebian_busterdebian_stretchcentos_8centos_7
Then you can use vagrant ssh <name of machine> to SSH into the box. The project directory will be mounted in /vagrant so you can quickly modify the script locally and then test the changes by running the script from /vagrant/install_panel.sh and /vagrant/install_wings.sh respectively.
Creating a release
There are a couple of files that each release commit should always change. Firstly, update the CHANGELOG.md so that the release date and release tag are both displayed. No changes should be made to the changelog points themselves. Secondly, update GITHUB_SOURCE and SCRIPT_RELEASE in both install-panel.sh and install-wings.sh. Thirdly, update SCRIPT_RELEASE in install.sh. Finally, you can now push a commit with the message Release vX.Y.Z. Create a release on GitHub. See this commit for reference.
When the release is published, push another commit which revers the changes you made to install-wings.sh and install-panel.sh. See this commit for reference.
