## What is Pterodactyl?
|
|
|
|
[Pterodactyl](https://pterodactyl.io/) 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.

## pterodactyl & ssl
|
|
|
|
ssl with pterodactyl is really annoying if you are using it behind a reverse
|
|
proxy (nginx) - might be easier to run this on its own server so you can just
|
|
use the default port 80 for web. reverse proxy is designed for normal web
|
|
traffic, not game servers.
|
|
|
|
If you are annoying like me and wanna put things on a single server and save
|
|
money... here is what you can do.
