Sure, here's a tutorial in markdown format for installing Pterodactyl on Kali Linux Latest:
Before you can install Pterodactyl, you need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y curl tar unzip git zip
Pterodactyl requires Node.js to be installed. You can download and install the latest version of Node.js by running the following commands:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y nodejs
Pterodactyl uses Docker to manage containers. You can install Docker by running the following commands:
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo 'deb https://download.docker.com/linux/debian buster stable' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Docker Compose is used to manage multiple containers. You can install Docker Compose by running the following commands:
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Now that all the dependencies are installed, you can download and install Pterodactyl. Run the following commands:
curl -Lo panel.tar.gz https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/releases/latest/download/panel.tar.gz
tar --strip-components=1 -xzvf panel.tar.gz
chmod -R 755 storage/* bootstrap/cache/
npm install --only=production
Pterodactyl needs to be configured before it can be used. Run the following commands to generate the app key and configure the .env file:
php artisan key:generate --force
cp .env.example .env
nano .env
Update the following settings in the .env file:
APP_URL=http://<your-domain-name>
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_DATABASE=pterodactyl
DB_USERNAME=pterodactyl
DB_PASSWORD=<your-db-password>
Save the changes and exit the editor.
To start Pterodactyl, run the following commands:
php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8000 &
sudo docker-compose up -d
Pterodactyl is now installed and running. You can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000 (if you're running Pterodactyl on your local machine) or by entering your server's IP address or domain name followed by :8000 (e.g. http://example.com:8000).
That's it! You've successfully installed Pterodactyl on Kali Linux Latest.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
