Pterodactyl Development Environment

This repository provides a docker-compose based environment for handling local development of Pterodactyl.

This is not meant for production use! This is a local development environment only.

This environment is the official Pterodactyl development environment, in the sense that it is what I, @DaneEveritt use for working on it. I've not tested it on anything other than macOS, and I probably haven't documented most of the important bits. Please feel free to open PRs or Issues as necessary to improve this environment.

Getting Started

You'll need the following things installed on your machine.

• Docker
• Mutagen Compose
• mkcert

Setup

To begin clone this repository to your system, and then run ./setup.sh which will configure the additional git repositories, and setup your local certificates and host file routing.

git clone https://github.com/pterodactyl/development.git
cd development
./setup.sh

What is Created

• Traefik Container
• Panel & Wings Containers
• MySQL & Redis Containers
• Minio Container for S3 emulation

Accessing the Environment

Once you've setup the environment, simply run ./beak up -d to start the environment. This simply aliases some common Docker compose commands.

Once the environment is running, ./beak app and ./beak wings will allow SSH access to the Panel and Wings environments respectively. Your Panel is accessible at https://pterodactyl.test. You'll need to run through the normal setup process for the Panel if you do not have a database and environment setup already. This can be done by SSH'ing into the Panel environment and running setup-pterodactyl.

The code for the setup can be found in build/panel/setup-pterodactyl. Please note, this environment uses Mutagen for file handling, so replace calls to docker compse up or down with mutagen-compose up or down. All other docker compose commands can be used as normal.
