Request: Definite firewall/port requirements in documentation

Open lowland3r opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Please consider adding a section to the Panel and Wings installation guide that includes the ports required for each component to work (as well as what ports can be access-restricted)

There is a section in which the diagram of all services are shown in docs. Please have a look at Pterodactyl Terminology (Advanced Setup Diagram)

Indeed, though this doesn't fully clarify what ports on the wings node must be accessible to the panel vs accessible to the world.

I know that tcp/2022 must be reachable by end users, but what about tcp/8080?

Technically you don't need to make tcp/8080 public, but it would be necessary if you want to monitor the wings on a server. And making the port tcp/8080 accessible only by the panel's ip will cause the node list to show red heart because the request to node is made from the user's browser, not from the panel, other than that, I think it should be fine.

Also, yeah I agree this information needs to be included docs.

Both ports (tcp/8080 and tcp/2022) must be accessible by the end user. Port tcp/8080 is responsible for WebSocket communications as well as downloading files.

Oh yeah, sorry my bad, forgot about websockets and file download connections. 😅
