Welcome
What is Pelican?
Pelican is an open-source game server management tool built upon Pterodactyl, paired with Wings, which runs the game servers in isolated Docker containers for maximum separation and stability.
If you notice anything that raises a concern, please create a Github security advisory or reach out directly to team@pelican.dev
For security reasons, we ask that you handle security disclosures responsibly and avoid posting them as GitHub issues/discussions.

Installation
Pelican consists of two main components: the Panel and Wings.
The Panel is a Laravel web application that serves as the web interface for users.
Wings is the backend service installed on one or more node machines and acts as the interface between Docker and the Panel.
Pelican is currently in Beta! Some things might change/break between beta versions!
First steps

First you will need to install the Panel. You can choose between two installation methods:
- Standalone - run the Pelican Panel directly on a web server.
- Dockerized - run the Pelican Panel inside a docker container.
Node setup
After you set up your Panel, you will need to create some Nodes. To do that, install and configure the Wings daemon on the same machine as the Panel or on a separate machine.
Similar to the Panel installation you can choose between two installation methods:
- Standalone - run the Wings Daemon directly on a linux server.
- Dockerized - run the Wings Daemon inside a docker container.
A Panel can have multiple Nodes but a Node is always tied to just one Panel.
