I’ve seen pterodactyl recommended so I tried setting it up. But it feels a little bit out of my league, as I’m still pretty new to servers/homelabbing.
The main game I want to host currently is modded Minecraft but I’d like the option of hosting other games in the future. I have proxmox and docker/protainer currently set up
It’s been few years but anyway.
My first encounter was with Linux Game Server Manager. As you mentioned you are new to servers/homelab you might enjoy it. If you are looking to just host 1 or 2 servers , go with LGSM.
Few years ago(atleat 5 years ago) i was using OGP(Open Game Panel) which was perfect for my requirement back then.
Pterodactyl is very much recommended everywhere although i am yet to try it.
It really depends on what you intend to do with them. New ? Start with LGSM, try to learn what are your requirements and whether LGSM is able to fulfill it. if not then time to learn something new again.
Good luck
Hi, I have a bedrock server hosted for my son and his friends. I’m with docker, no panel, can’t make Pterodactyl work. I’m also having problems with add-ons/plugins/mods. None seem to work, throws a bunch of Json errors on recipes loads. Any advice?
If you’re just looking to host minecraft, it’s easy to do using just the docker image and docker compose. Even lots of modded minecraft have docker images you can use
I just use LGSM. I only host servers occasionally, so it does a good job. If I had to constantly start or manage servers I’d probably go with pterodactyl.
I would go with Amp. It is good and supports Windows servers (Windows 10, 11, and server) as well. It does have some quirks. The cost is $20 for a lifetime license. The reason for windows is that some dedicated servers do not run on Linux. For example, Space Engineers.
