Pterodactyl seems neat, I like that it's docker-based. But I haven't used it in practice, just set up a couple really basic gameservers to try it out. Also a big fan of the docker containers. However, it requires a direct connection from the client browser to each server node. Imo a much better way is to have the central server talk to the nodes, and then the browser only has to talk to one server. |
| 13:55:59 | Stephen D | For that reason I've been looking for a replacement, though it looks like pterodactyl is the most polished |

| 00:14:10 |  D3matt | Stephen D: Do you mean for all traffic or just for management? |
| 00:14:32 | Stephen D | For management |
| 00:14:36 | D3matt | I agree that would be neat but if you have to directly expose the nodes anyway for game traffic it wouldn't make much sense. |
| 00:14:58 | D3matt | Well, it still makes sense, but I don't think it's all that big of a deal. |
| 00:15:33 | D3matt | What would be awesome, and is also a total pipe dream, would be a game server manager that can talk to your network gear to essentially do software defined networking. |
| 00:16:36 | D3matt | Need a port for a game? Query the firewall for available ports and IPs. Select one. Automatically configures the router to forward that port on the node's VLAN, sets up public DNS, etc. |
| 00:17:20 | Stephen D | I wrote a script to do something kind of like that when I ran a minecraft hosting companyt |
| 00:17:32 | D3matt | Maybe allow the customer to "bring their own IP" by letting them configure a VPN to the game server's container. |
| 00:17:38 | Stephen D | But I used UPNP to do port forwarding, and I had a database that tracked ports |
| 00:17:59 | D3matt | UPNP open on nodes running semi-trusted code. Oof. |
| 00:18:21 | D3matt | OK for just Minecraft, idk that I'd trust that for something like Pterodactyl though :) |
| 00:18:59 | Stephen D | Not at all |
| 00:19:02 | Stephen D | Just use VLANs |
| 00:19:10 | Stephen D | Upnp gets its own VLAN for opening ports |
| 00:19:34 | Stephen D | At no point do the minecraft servers have access to port forwarding |
| 00:20:28 | D3matt | So the UPNP script runs from a server or network interface on a different VLAN, with UPNP only allowed on that VLAN and none of the game servers being on that VLAN? Interesting. |
| 00:20:57 | Stephen D | Yes |
| 00:21:20 | Stephen D | Multicraft(the control panel I was using) could talk to the port assignment server, which itself could talk over upnp |
| 00:23:49 | D3matt | Cool |
