Installing Wings

Great, now all of the dependencies and firewall rules have been dealt with. From here follow the official Wings installation documentation.

::: tip If you have SELinux enforcement enabled and you are getting AVC denials from your containers, try relocating your Wings data directory from /var/lib/pterodactyl to /var/srv/containers/pterodactyl. That is where the targeted policy expects Docker to read and write data from. :::
