Server Configuriation

This following section covers the configuration of parts of the server to run the panel.

MariaDB

The fastest way to set up mariadb is to use the mysql_secure_installation command and follow prompts

mysql_secure_installation

The following are safe defaults.

Change to your own secure password
Set root password? [Y/n] Y

Get rid of users that could access the db by default
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y

Keep root off the external interfaces
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Y

Extra databases that aren't needed
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y

Clears and sets all the changes made
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y

All done! If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.

Adding MariaDB user

We have a tutorial in the tutorial section
Setting up MySQL

PHP

The default php-fpm configuration is good to use but you need to edit the nginx config to use the ip address.

The following config is the one that will match the nginx config later in the guide.

<<< @/.snippets/php-fpm/pterodactyl-centos.conf

Start and enable php-fpm on the system.

systemctl enable php-fpm
systemctl start php-fpm

nginx

follow the tutorial on generating an SSL cert to use.

ssl config

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

Redis

The default Redis install is perfectly fine for the panel.

If you have Redis already in use you may want to look into running another Redis instance similar to this guide

Installing the panel

Follow the regular guide to install the panel
