# Additional Configuration
WARNING
These are advanced configurations for Wings. You risk breaking Wings and making containers unusable if you misconfigure something. Proceed only if you know what each configuration value does.
You must apply all changes to your Wings config.yml file located at /etc/pterodactyl. Verify your config file using Yaml Lint (opens new window) should you receive errors related to YAML parsing.
# Private Registries
You can use these settings to authenticate against (private) docker registries when pulling images.
# Available Keys
| Setting Key | Default Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| name | null | Registry address |
| username | null | Registry username |
| password | null | Registry password |
# Example of usage
docker:
registries:
registry.example.com:
username: "registryusername"
password: "registrypassword"
# Custom Network Interfaces
You can change the network interface that Wings uses for all containers by editing the network name; it is by default set to pterodactyl_nw. For example, to enable Docker host mode change the network name to host.
WARNING
Changing network mode to host grants Pterodactyl direct access to all machine interfaces and Panel users can bind to any IP or Port even if it's not allocated to their container. You will lose all benefits of Docker network isolation. It is not recommended for public installations that are hosting other users' servers.
# Example of usage
docker:
network:
name: host
network_mode: host
After making changes, the following commands will stop the Wings, remove the Pterodactyl network, and start the Wings again. Run at your own risk.
systemctl stop wings && docker network rm pterodactyl_nw && systemctl start wings
# Enabling Cloudflare proxy
Cloudflare proxying of the Wings isn't beneficial since users will be connecting to the machine directly and bypassing any Cloudflare protection. As such, your Node machine IP will still be exposed.
To enable Cloudflare proxy, you must change the Wings port to one of the Cloudflare HTTPS ports, such as 8443, because Cloudflare only supports HTTP on port 8080. Select your Node in the Admin Panel, and on the settings tab, change the port.
You are unable to proxy the SFTP port through Cloudflare unless you have their enterprise plan.
# Throttles Limits
You can use these settings to adjust or completely disable throttling.
| Setting Key | Default Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| enabled | true | Whether or not the throttler is enabled |
| lines | 2000 | Total lines that can be output in a given line_reset_interval period |
| maximum_trigger_count | 5 | Amount of times throttle limit can be triggered before the server will be stopped |
| line_reset_interval | 100 | The amount of time after which the number of lines processed is reset to 0 |
| decay_interval | 10000 | Time in milliseconds that must pass without triggering throttle limit before trigger count is decremented |
| stop_grace_period | 15 | Time that a server is allowed to be stopping for before it is terminated forcefully if it triggers output throttle |
| write_limit | 0 | Impose I/O write limit for backups to the disk, 0 = unlimited. Value greater than 0 throttles write speed to the set value in MiB/s |
| download_limit | 0 | Impose a Network I/O read limit for archives, 0 = unlimited. Value greater than 0 throttles read speed to the set value in MiB/s. |
# Example of usage
throttles:
enabled: true
lines: 2000
maximum_trigger_count: 5
line_reset_interval: 100
decay_interval: 10000
stop_grace_period: 15
# Other values
More commonly discussed values. View all Wings config values and explanations in these two files. (opens new window)
| Setting Key | Default Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| debug | false | Force Wings to run in debug mode |
| tmpfs_size | 100 | The size of the /tmp directory in MB when mounted into a container |
| websocket_log_count | 150 | The number of lines to display in the console |
| detect_clean_exit_as_crash | true | Mark server as crashed if it's stopped without user interaction, e.g., not pressing stop button |
| (crash detection) timeout | 60 | Timeout between server crashes that will not cause the server to be automatically restarted |
| app_name | "Pterodactyl" | Changes the name of the daemon, shown in the panel's game console |
| check_permissions_on_boot | true | Check all file permissions on each boot. Disable this when you have a very large amount of files and the server startup is hanging on checking permissions |
