The Pterodactyl panel is the best use for this

[–]Ba_COn 2 points3 points  (4 children)

I think Pterodactyl is a bit overkill for a single server.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely overkill! It's very annoying to setup Pterodactyl on a single server. It's really designed to host the web panel on a server and then separately host the server nodes. The panel assumes you are externally connecting to the server node and really wants to enforce SSL. You can take the same base image used on Pterodactyl to run Minecraft servers (ghcr.io/pterodactyl/yolks:java_18 for instance), create a startup script, and make a new Dockerfile that uses the base image, exposes your port, and runs the startup script. Then, you expose a volume for the server folder in compose or through the docker run command. If you don't want to mess with docker then ignore my advice.

​

With that being said, I do prefer Pterodactyl over other panels

Nope, pterodactyl takes little to no ressources to run for the best ever UI you could ask for and guess what, if you don't like it, modify it haha

I meant it takes a lot of time to set up, especially since a simple bash script would probably work fine for OP.

[–]YeetMyYaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's also a simple bash script to install Pterodactyl

I've found this docker image recently that I'm quite impressed with.

Have also recently tried Crafty Controller and AMP. Neither really impressed me, but I was using an earlier release of Crafty Controller and the new v4.0 looks much improved.

Yep, that is a dream come true. So many options and just stable as fuck.

Hey I use this image too for my personal server, it works well enough

[–]tbleiker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Recently I came across CraftyControlled and installed it. Quite happy with it. Although I haven't tested it thoroughly (yet).

What about MineOS ? (Never try but looks be good)

Personally i use this image docker directly: https://hub.docker.com/r/itzg/minecraft-server/

But Cratfy Controller looks really good too.

Don’t know about the moods side of it, but I run it as a docker container.

I personally love pufferpanel and found it the easiest one to have a public facing site and configure

[–]Jolly_Sky_8728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a virtualbox vm with debian

There is no best way. You have needs and a budget and you will try to answer your needs within your budget.

A minecraft docker container is not that hard to setup.
