Using the Pterodactyl panel (Game Servers)

Access the panel

Baires Host Game Servers use the Pterodactyl panel:

https://panel.baires.host

Log in with the credentials you received by email when you purchased the service.

Start, stop and restart

From your server's main page:

• Start: Starts the game server
• Stop: Stops the server gracefully
• Restart: Restarts without losing configuration
• Kill: Forces stop (use only if Stop doesn't respond)

Console

The console shows server output in real time:

• View logs, errors and game events
• Type commands directly (e.g., say Hello in Minecraft)
• Available commands depend on the game

File Manager

The built-in file manager allows you to:

• Browse the server's file structure
• Edit configuration files directly
• Upload files (plugins, mods, maps)
• Create folders and move files
• Compress and decompress files

Important files by game

• Minecraft: server.properties, plugins/ folder
• FiveM: server.cfg, resources/ folder
• CS2: server.cfg, autoexec.cfg

Schedules (Automated tasks)

Automate recurring actions:

1. Go to Schedules → Create Schedule
2. Configure frequency (cron expression)
3. Add actions:

• Send command to console
• Send power signal (restart, stop, start)
• Create backup

Useful examples:

• Daily restart at 5 AM: 0 5 * → Power Action: Restart
• Backup every 6 hours: 0 /6 → Create Backup
• Warning message: 55 4 * → Send Command: say Restart in 5 minutes

Backups

Create and manage server backups:

1. Go to Backups
2. Click Create Backup
3. Optionally exclude large files (logs, temporary worlds)
4. The backup is created in the background

You can:

• Download backups
• Restore a previous backup
• Delete old backups
• Lock important backups to prevent deletion

Subusers

Share access with other administrators:

1. Go to Users → New User
2. Enter the user's email
3. Select specific permissions:

• Control (start/stop/restart)
• Console (view and send commands)
• Files (file manager access)
• Backups (create and restore)
• Schedules (manage tasks)

SFTP Access

For transferring large files, use SFTP:

• Host: Same as the panel
• Port: 2022
• Username: Shown in Settings → SFTP Details
• Password: Same as panel password

Recommended clients: FileZilla, WinSCP, Cyberduck.

Recommendations

• Set up automatic backups every 6-12 hours
• Use subusers instead of sharing your password
• Check the console regularly to detect errors
• Before installing mods/plugins, create a backup
• Use SFTP for large file uploads (faster than file manager)
