Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

well i've downloaded the panel and wings now I have a domain I bought from cloudfare but after that I don't know what else to do
You can not run pterodactyl on cloudflare.
For pterodactyl or any gaming server, you need a real server with a real operating system that you get full control over.
Instead look for cheap VPS options in your country. Make sure their specs are good enough for a minecraft server. It will cost ~ 5-10$ per month. Then:
Point the domain from cloudflare to that VPS by changing the dns records in cloudflare
Install some linux on it like debian.
Get into that linux by using ssh.
Then follow the installation instructions on the pterodactyl website. https://pterodactyl.io/panel/1.0/getting_started.html
do you have discord by chance sorry for asking just so I can ask stuff and I already have an ubuntu server setup isn't that like an vps already
If you already have a server then follow the installation instructions on the pterodactyl website. https://pterodactyl.io/panel/1.0/getting_started.html
Then if some step goes wrong:
The pterodactyl discord will probably be more helpful there.
good news got to work and all just one issue I am having is I can't connect to it for some reason from my PC although its all working
how do you know it's working if you can't connect?
if you run the server on your computer, did you set up the port forwarding? does it work if you just connect to localhost, or the local ip of that computer?
Gotta set up DNS to point to your server, here's a quick guide on how to accomplish this, but cloudflare might have their own guide that would be more specific to your platform.
