FAQ

In which folder do I upload my files for my site?

The "www" folder is used as a public folder. There you can add your PHP, HTML, CSS, JS and so on files that are required for the public or for the operation of the site.

How do I use Git support?

Instructions for Git support

Git support allows you to automatically clone a Git repository into the www folder of your web server and apply the latest changes every time you restart (git pull). This is how it works:

Prerequisites:

• Git Status must be enabled to use Git.
• GIT_ADDRESS must contain a valid Git repository that you want to clon

Steps to set up (Specify GIT_ADDRESS):

• When creating the web server, you can specify a Git repository URL in the GIT_ADDRESS field.
• Example: https://github.com/username/repository.git

Activate Git status:

• Make sure that the Git status is set to ‘active’ (1 or true) so that the repository is managed automatically.

Automatic installation:

• When the server is first created, the specified repository is automatically cloned into the www folder of your server.

Automatic updates:

• After each restart of the web server, the repository in the www folder is automatically updated to the latest version (git pull).

How to use https://

Go to the file:

/home/container/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

Change "listen" to:

listen <YOUR_PORT> ssl;

Please also change the spacer distance. Otherwise the "listen" will be overwritten each time the egg is restarted.

Add the following lines:

ssl_certificate /home/container/your_cert.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /home/container/your_cert_key.key;
ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;

Adjust the lines accordingly.

Furthermore, if not already done, adjust to your domain:

server_name www.example.com;

Change PHP version

Changing the PHP version is currently still somewhat cumbersome. A revised version will be available in the future.

• Step 1: In your Pterodactyl panel, go to the "Startup" tab on your web server. Change the variable "PHP VERSION" to the desired version.

---

• Step 2: Finally, you need to customise the Docker image. Select the appropriate Docker image to match the version.

---

• Step 3: Restart your container.
