I recently upgraded my Homeserver and wanted to start hosting some gameservers for me and my friends. I read a lot about Pterodactyl and saw that there were other options.
Can any of you recommend others or should I stick with Pterodactyl?
I'm using Proxmox with a virtualised TrueNAS and other Uhuntuserver VMs for Jellyfin etc.
I use AMP for hosting Minecraft, Valheim and steam dedicated servers and have been very pleased with it. I did look at Pterodactyl a long time ago but never used it. I think AMP is more advanced, but might be overkill for your needs.
I just use steamcmd (depending on the game) and make my own launchers for each server. It isn't ideal though so i might check that Pterodactyl myself, forgot that it's a thing :)
pterodactyl is really nice if you manage servers with multiple people that are less tech savy.
A Good alternative is linuxgsm but it is a load more technical to use.
