# Terminology
|
|
**Panel** — This refers to Pterodactyl Panel itself, and is what allows you to add additional
|
|
nodes and servers to the system.
|
|
|
|
**Node** — A node is a physical machine that runs an instance of the Daemon.
|
|
|
|
**Daemon** — A service written in Nodejs that interfaces with Docker and the Panel to provide secure access for
|
|
controlling servers via the Panel.
|
|
|
|
**Server** — In this case, a server refers to a running instance that is created by the panel. These servers are
|
|
created on nodes, and you can have multiple servers per node.
|
|
|
|
**Container** — Each server will be running inside an isolated container to enforce hardware limitations
|
|
(such as CPU and RAM) and avoid any interference between servers on one node. These are created by Docker.
|
|
|
|
**Nest** — Each nest is usually used as a specific game or service, for example: Minecraft, Teamspeak or Terraria and can contain many eggs.
|
|
|
|
**Egg** — Each egg is usually used to store the configuration of a specific type of game, for example: Vanilla, Spigot or Bungeecord for Minecraft.
