Pterodactyl v2's alpha is dropping today. Give it a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ER4kv0jVEU

Still MIT. Still fully open source. Still free.

Pterodactyl v2's goal is to be developer friendly, and future proof.

• Extension SDK built into the panel, so mods stop breaking every update
• Whole stack modernized (Vite, React 19, TanStack, Tailwind 4, Laravel 13)
• Brand new admin area, no more separate Blade app
• One-click egg importer
• Themes without a rebuild
• A codebase people can actually contribute to again

We're also releasing 5+ free, open source extensions as examples, and if you build extensions or themes, feel free to reach out to us on https://discord.gg/pterodactyl for a role :)

We will be releasing the Alpha today in the discord, along with migration instructions and docs. We have made this update more homelab friendly, with a much smaller docker image that works 🙂

To address any rumors spreading:
We've run WISP for six years. It was never a replacement for Pterodactyl and it isn't one now. If killing Pterodactyl was the plan, we wouldn't have spent nine months updating and future-proofing it.

Ever tried moving your co-op world to a dedicated server? You copy the save over, join, and the game hands your level 50 character a fresh spawn on the beach. Co-op hardcodes your player ID, servers assign a new one, so the server has no idea who you are.

I built a tool that fixes it: physgun.com/tools/palworld-save-converter

100% in your browser. Nothing to install, nothing uploaded, your save never leaves your PC

Drag your whole SaveGames folder in and pick your world by name, no folder digging

Fixes everything: your character, pals, palbox, guild, structures, even door locks (that took me forever lol)

Works both directions, co-op <-> dedicated

Updated for Palworld 1.0, older saves work too

Free, no signup, no catch

Built on the open source community's research and many hours of my own debugging and fixing oddball issues (xNul's host-save-fix, cheahjs' palworld-save-tools, and others. Thank you 💙)

Find a bug? Tell me and I'll patch it ASAP 😄

If you've ever mistyped an oxide.grant and given someone the wrong perms at 2am, you know why this matters.

If you're a server owner, what else would you add to this? Curious to get your feedback :)
