Documentation on how to run Discord Bot on Pterodactyl Panel.

Case #1 - Using hosting

The most common case is that you purchased Discord Bot Hosting Plan from an hosting company and that you have access to panel. For this case you don't have too much work, these are steps for this case:

  1. Open File Manager

  2. Upload Bot Files

  3. Make changes to config.yml, language.yml, embeds.yml and other config files

  4. Start the Server

  5. That's it! If you made mistake it will throw error, otherwise you have bot ready and running! Enjoy.

Case #2 - Selfhosting

If you already have Pterodactyl with discord.js/node.js Egg, you can go back to Case #1 and continue with it.

The second case is that you're hosting pterodactyl panel on your VPS. Last steps of this case are the same as from the Case #1, so only difference is installation of egg. Egg we're gonna use is Generic node.js Pterodactyl Egg, these are steps for this case are:

  1. Go to generic node.js egg and download JSON file (CTRL + S)

  2. Open Nests from Admin part of Panel

  3. Click 'Create New' & enter Name & Description and click 'Save'

  4. Click on 'Nests' again and then click green 'Import egg' & select egg that you downloaded previously. Associate egg with the nest you just created.

  5. Restart wings

  6. Create new Server, for Nest create nest you just created and do the same for egg

  7. Follow the steps from Case #1
