Installing Wings

Great, now all of the dependencies and firewall rules have been dealt with. From here follow the official Wings installation documentation.

TIP

If you have SELinux enforcement enabled and you are getting AVC denials from your containers, try relocating your Wings data directory from /var/lib/pterodactyl to /var/srv/containers/pterodactyl. That is where the targeted policy expects Docker to read and write data from.
