Additional Configuration

Fine-tune your Wings node for security, custom ports, and optimal Docker networking.

SSL / TLS CertificatesCopy Anchor Link

When your Aquadactyl Panel is served over HTTPS, web browsers require Wings to use SSL/TLS to prevent mixed content blocking when connecting to the console websocket (port 8080).

1. Generate Certificates with CertbotCopy Anchor Link

Ensure your node's FQDN (e.g. node1.yourdomain.com) points to the node's public IP address:

sudo apt install -y certbot
sudo certbot certonly --standalone -d node1.yourdomain.com

2. Update Wings ConfigurationCopy Anchor Link

Open /etc/pterodactyl/config.yml:

api:
  host: 0.0.0.0
  port: 8080
  ssl:
    enabled: true
    cert: /etc/letsencrypt/live/node1.yourdomain.com/fullchain.pem
    key: /etc/letsencrypt/live/node1.yourdomain.com/privkey.pem

Restart Wings to apply the certificate:

sudo systemctl restart wings

Firewall & Port Rules (UFW)Copy Anchor Link

Wings and hosted game servers require specific incoming ports to function:

Configure UFW:

sudo ufw allow 8080/tcp
sudo ufw allow 2022/tcp
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
# Example game port range:
sudo ufw allow 25565:25600/tcp
sudo ufw allow 25565:25600/udp
sudo ufw reload

Docker Daemon TuningCopy Anchor Link

Configure /etc/docker/daemon.json for reliable container DNS and logging limits:

{
  "log-driver": "local",
  "log-opts": {
    "max-size": "10m",
    "max-file": "3"
  },
  "dns": ["1.1.1.1", "8.8.8.8"]
}

Restart Docker and Wings:

sudo systemctl restart docker
sudo systemctl restart wings
