Pterodactyl is an awesome game panel for managing docker-based game servers! I use it within my homelab to manage game servers both in the cloud and at my home (For example, see Minecraft Server... With Create!).

Networking

Networking-wise, I currently have the panel part of Pterodactyl proxied through a Cloudflare Tunnel to be accessible from the internet. This is necessary in order to allow nodes to connect even if they aren't within my homelab. However, in the future, I may re-architect this to run over Tailscale so that I can skip the network exposure.

Currently, the majority of my servers are hosted off-site in VPSs from DigitalOcean or Linode, etc.
