My first homelab in over a decade. 15yr and 12yr kids will be doing it with me this time. Any suggestion on what we should start with to run? We will have a K8s cluster.

    Pterodactyl® is a free, open-source game server management panel built with PHP, React, and Go. Designed with security in mind, Pterodactyl runs all game servers in isolated Docker containers while exposing a beautiful and intuitive UI to end users.

  • An alternative to that would be to use the docker compose file. In theory its simple, you copy that file in a new empty directory, modify the file to your liking (ie url and passwords...), install docker and docker compose via apt, and then type docker-compose up: https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/blob/develop/docker-compose.example.yml But I did not try that way myself, so I dont know if there are pitfalls you might stumble upon. And there is no documentation for that for ptero specifically.
