Best Linux panel?
I know this question has probably been asked a lot but what is the best panel for Linux currently? I switched from pterodactyl to pelican and experienced some ui bugs with pelican, and aikars flags would crash server on boot (weird ik). I’m considering going back to pterodactyl but I’m wondering if maybe there’s a better panel out there (pyrodactyl?)
I also want something that’s future proof so I don’t have to worry about switching on later, and can receive future features & support

Pterodactyl is good if you only need the panel to be functional. pelican ive tried myself but has so many issue its not fun, you could take a look st pyrodactyl to my knowledge and testings works really well. Other than that maybe moonlight (no personal experience, but from what I’ve seen looks promising)
You could maybe use something like blueprint with pterodactyl if you want custom features but thats all payed
So pterodactyl is still the industry standard? What’s blueprint if you don’t mind me asking
Pterodactyl is still the industry standard, as it's usable although it doesn't get feature updates. This also won't really change in the near future as most of the current ptero users are happy with the panel and thus they're not going to be looking for a new panel anytime soon.
Blueprint is sort of an addon/mod api which makes it so that you can modify the panel more easily and add/modify features
pterodactyl is great but can be complicated to set up at first, so if you're not too comfortable with that, i can recommend MCSManager
I’m comfortable with setting up pterodactyl, I just want the best option for server management atm
And after using pelican, which seemed like a buggy mess, I’ll probably just go back to pterodactyl
Solution
then pterodactyl is your best choice!
I just wish the pterodactyl UI wasn’t so ugly
better looking than a terminal tho lol
there are some themes out there (some of which free)
Has anyone tried pyrodactyl? Is it compatible with blueprint and pterodactyl eggs?
do you think an AI like cursor would be able to make a decent ish simple pterodactyl theme on its own?
i mean its just css isnt it?
pterodactyl eggs yes, blueprint no idea, the panel looks better and from what i know it should work exactly the same as ptero does
wdym
like AI agents
they should be able to code a pterodactyl theme
:/
don't see why you would ask me that lol
you said smth about themes
yea
he can improve ui with themese (free or paid)
I have tried installing pyrodactyl, but I failed
Insufficient knowledge
pufferpanel works like a charm
and takes like 3 terminal commands to install
I would be in the same boat if wasn’t for chat gpt, follow the pterodactyl guide and use chat gpt to help you with any errors/commands you don’t know how to write
Takes like 15 min lol
Use recommended settings for everything
How is it feature-wise compared to pterodactyl? Can it support the same amount of games?
I plan on using it for ark ascended, Minecraft and terraria
ptero was made because of puffer panel
you wont get much use out of it
its mc only
It has never been MC only
ok it isnt, but its mainly that
No idea where that comes from
Ptero install is easy, I somehow only failed on pyro
Oh sorry misread lol
