Introduction

We have integrated the Pterodactyl panel for these new nodes, a move that streamlines management and operations while enhancing automation capabilities.
I also participates in the egg (Docker image and Installation scripts) developement of Pterodactyl in the major open source repositories.

Technical Design

Architecture:

• Distributed System: The nodes are part of a distributed system that ensures high availability and fault tolerance.
• Microservices: The system is built using a microservices architecture, allowing for scalability and ease of maintenance.

Containerization with Docker:

• Isolation: Docker containers encapsulate each game server, ensuring isolation and consistent environments.
• Docker Compose: Used for defining and running multi-container Docker applications, simplifying deployment.

Pterodactyl Panel:

• Integration: The panel is integrated with the Docker ecosystem, providing a unified interface for managing game servers.
• Customization: Allows for extensive customization of server settings and configurations.

Security:

• MFA: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) using the Google Authenticator app enhances security.
• Firewalls & Network Isolation: Implementation of firewalls and network segmentation to protect sensitive data.

Automation & Monitoring:

• CI/CD Pipeline: Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline for automated testing and deployment.
• Monitoring Tools: Integration with monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana for real-time insights.

Deployment Strategy

Environment Setup:

• Development, Staging, and Production Environments: Ensuring a smooth transition from development to production.

Scalability:

• Horizontal Scaling: Ability to add or remove nodes based on demand, ensuring optimal resource utilization.

Backup & Recovery:

• Regular Backups: Scheduled backups of critical data.
• Disaster Recovery Plan: A robust plan to ensure data integrity and availability in case of failure.
