Creating Locations & Nodes
Before you can create any game servers, you must tell Pterodactyl about your physical host servers. This is a two-part process: first, you create a "Location" as a geographical group, and then you create a "Node" which is your physical server linked to that location.
A Location is a logical grouping for your nodes, typically based on geography (e.g., Germany, US-East).
- Log in to your Pterodactyl panel with an administrator account.
- Navigate to the Admin Area by clicking the wrench icon in the upper right corner.
- In the sidebar, go to Locations.
- Click Create New.
- Provide a short code (e.g.,
de) and a descriptive name (e.g.,Germany) for your location.
