Evodactyl

Installing Wings

Install Docker and the upstream Wings binary on the host that will run game servers, then pair it with the Evodactyl panel from the admin UI.

Prerequisites

  • A Linux host with Docker 20.10+ installed.
  • Kernel ≥ 4.19 with cgroups v2 support (most modern distributions).
  • Root access.

Install Docker

Terminal window
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | CHANNEL=stable bash
systemctl enable --now docker

Install the Wings binary

Terminal window
mkdir -p /etc/pterodactyl
curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/wings \
    "https://github.com/pterodactyl/wings/releases/latest/download/wings_linux_$([[ "$(uname -m)" == "x86_64" ]] && echo "amd64" || echo "arm64")"
chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/wings

Wings expects its config at /etc/pterodactyl/config.yml. The next page, Configuring Wings, walks through generating that config from the admin UI.
