Pterodactyl Panel - Customizable Seeder - Custom nests and eggs initialization

Pterodactyl® is a free, open-source game server management panel built with PHP, React, and Go. Designed with security in mind, Pterodactyl runs all game servers in isolated Docker containers while exposing a beautiful and intuitive UI to end users.

Stop settling for less. Make game servers a first class citizen on your platform.

Why I created this fork

I created this fork because I wanted to have the possibility to initialize the pterodactyle panel with specified nests and eggs. Basically a customizable seeder.

How does it work?

You need to bind the /srv/pterodactyl/seeders directory to you local directory and inside the seeders folder you must have a nests.json containing all the nests you want to create in a json format.

Example of nests.json

{
    "nests": [
        {
            "name": "Counter Strike",
            "description": "Counter Strike servers of various types"
        },
        {
            "name": "Rust",
            "description": "Rust servers of various types"
        },
        {
            "name": "Grand Theft Auto",
            "description": "Grand Theft Auto servers of various types"
        },
        {
            "name": "Team Fortress",
            "description": "Team Fortress servers of various types"
        },
        {
            "name": "Minecraft",
            "description": "Minecraft servers of various types"
        },
        {
            "name": "The Duel",
            "description": "The Duel servers of various types"
        }
    ]
}

Along with the JSON you need to create the eggs directory, that will contain one folder for each nest and inside this folder will be the pterodactyle JSON file for the eggs you want imported.

PS: the name of the folder should match the name of the nest on the nests.json (but lower case, and separated by dashes).

So the directory structure will look something like this:

├── nests.json
└── eggs/
├── counter-strike/
│ └── egg-counter-strike-global-offensive.json
├── minecraft/
│ └── egg-forge-minecraft.json
│ └── egg-vanilla-minecraft.json
└── ...

./storage/seeders/ directory

So for the nest:

{
   "name": "Counter Strike",
   "description": "Counter Strike servers of various types"
},

The folder that will hold all the eggs from this nest will be:

├── counter-strike/
