    Sounds like you are in head over heels.

    Pterodactyl has a discord, why don’t you go there for dedicated support?

    Regardless of where you ask - if you want help you should provide detailed information. Tell exactly what commands you entered, from start to finish, not skipping anything and provide the outputs that you’ve gotten, especially the errors.

        You can not run pterodactyl on cloudflare.

        For pterodactyl or any gaming server, you need a real server with a real operating system that you get full control over.

        Instead look for cheap VPS options in your country. Make sure their specs are good enough for a minecraft server. It will cost ~ 5-10$ per month. Then:

        • Point the domain from cloudflare to that VPS by changing the dns records in cloudflare

        • Install some linux on it like debian.

        • Get into that linux by using ssh.

        • Then follow the installation instructions on the pterodactyl website. https://pterodactyl.io/panel/1.0/getting_started.html

            If you already have a server then follow the installation instructions on the pterodactyl website. https://pterodactyl.io/panel/1.0/getting_started.html

            Then if some step goes wrong:

            if you want help you should provide detailed information. Tell exactly what commands you entered, from start to finish, not skipping anything and provide the outputs that you’ve gotten, especially the errors.

            The pterodactyl discord will probably be more helpful there.
