In this tutorial, we will learn how to install PufferPanel on NetBSD. PufferPanel is a free and open-source Minecraft server management software that allows you to easily manage multiple Minecraft servers with a web-based interface.
Before we can start installing PufferPanel, we need to make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
First, we need to install some dependencies that are required by PufferPanel. To do this, log in to your NetBSD server using SSH and run the following command:
sudo pkgin install php72-gd php72-mysql php72-curl php72-zlib php72-json php72-mbstring mariadb-server apache httpd
This command will install all the necessary dependencies, including PHP, MySQL or MariaDB, and Apache or Nginx.
Next, we need to download the latest version of PufferPanel from the official website. To do this, run the following command:
curl -L -O https://git.io/vFQfQ
This command will download the latest version of PufferPanel to your NetBSD server.
Now that we have downloaded PufferPanel, we need to install it. To do this, run the following command:
sh pufferpanel-installer.sh
This command will start the installation process for PufferPanel. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
Once the installation is complete, we need to configure PufferPanel. To do this, navigate to the PufferPanel web interface using your web browser. The default URL for PufferPanel is http://<your-server-IP-address>:8080.
Once you are on the PufferPanel web interface, follow the on-screen instructions to configure the software. You will need to configure the database connection, server location, and other settings.
Now that PufferPanel is installed and configured, we can add a Minecraft server. To do this, navigate to the PufferPanel web interface and click on the "Servers" tab.
Click on the "Create" button to create a new server. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the new server, including the server type (Vanilla Minecraft, Bukkit, Spigot, etc.), server version, and other settings.
Once you have finished configuring the server, click on the "Start" button to start the server.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install PufferPanel on NetBSD. We also learned how to configure PufferPanel and add a Minecraft server. PufferPanel is a powerful tool that makes it easy to manage multiple Minecraft servers with a single web-based interface.
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!
