Webserver Configuration

::: danger You should remove the default Apache or NGINX configuration as it will expose application secrets to malicious users by default. ::: ::: warning When using the SSL configuration you MUST create SSL certificates, otherwise your webserver will fail to start. See Creating SSL Certificates documentation page for how to create these certificates before continuing. :::

NGINX With SSL

You should paste the contents of the file below, replacing <domain> with your domain name being used in a file called pterodactyl.conf and place it in /etc/nginx/sites-available/, or — if on CentOS, /etc/nginx/conf.d/.

<<< @/.snippets/webservers/nginx-php7.4.conf{5,11,26-27}

Enabling Configuration

The final step is to enable your NGINX configuration and restart it.

# You do not need to symlink this file if you are using CentOS.
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/pterodactyl.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pterodactyl.conf

# You need to restart nginx regardless of OS.
systemctl restart nginx
