Pr title should be "nixos/pterodactyl-{panel, wings}: init"

acid-bong · 2025-10-29T08:09:13Z

Since you're introducing both packages and modules, separate each into its own commit, with package init ones preceding the respective module init ones

keenanweaver

Amazing work! Thanks for making this. I'm not a Pterodactyl user, but these modules will make me one.

Some observations/questions:

Can you change the wings module to enable virtualisation.docker conditionally with it? Shouldn't be any harm in doing this instead of an assertion.
I know it's annoying, but each config option in both modules should have a description explaining what they're for.
Are you able to nix-ify a full Pterodactyl setup with these modules? Can I programmatically configure eggs, etc. (I am ignorant of the software)
May want to consider looking into service hardening

Also have some non-blocking nits:

I know it's annoying, but each config option in both modules should have a description explaining what they're for.

Some of them aren't documented officially, will come up with something I guess.

Are you able to nix-ify a full Pterodactyl setup with these modules? Can I programmatically configure eggs, etc. (I am ignorant of the software)

I wish you could. There are no commands within Pterodactyl (php artisan ...) which allows you to create servers/users/etc. If appropriate for nixpkgs, I could add these commands via patches (or other ways) while of course making a PR upstream.

Will check out and apply changes you have suggested. As a first time contribution, honestly thanks for checking out the changes

If appropriate for nixpkgs, I could add these commands via patches (or other ways) while of course making a PR upstream.

It's generally preferred to do everything possible upstream before doing patches and a lot of nix-specific fixes here. It all depends on how receptive upstream is to changes, especially if those changes are for Nix specifically.

You're welcome! I haven't tested them out on my own stuff yet, but I'm planning to deep dive with them and learn Pterodactyl at the same time.

They wouldn't be nix-specific but will benefit the nix configuration more (and maybe some other setups, like install scripts)

I will not do it for this PR, maybe some time in the future as it will take some time

May want to consider looking into service hardening

The module is already way too complex for me and I have no clue what should I add. If you want to suggest something, please do

Nothing in particular. Thanks for considering!

Some more changes to consider:

PadowYT2 · 2025-10-30T13:21:24Z

+    phpPackage = lib.mkOption {
+      type = lib.types.package;
+      readOnly = true;
+      default = php;
+      description = "The PHP package to use";
+    };


Should this option also be using lib.mkPackageOption?

I believe so. I just looked through the tree and found a couple of examples that do it for additional packages.

nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/misc/ananicy.nix

Line 29 in 08dacfc

rulesProvider = lib.mkPackageOption pkgs "ananicy" { example = "ananicy-cpp"; } // {

nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/networking/ncps.nix

Line 68 in 08dacfc

dbmatePackage = lib.mkPackageOption pkgs "dbmate" { };

Just tried, you can't use just lib.mkPackageOption "php" { } as the second option is supposed to be an object. So I guess just leave it like that?

Probably want to leave it as it is now and we'll see if someone else chimes in.

PadowYT2 · 2026-05-26T17:27:09Z

Not sure if this well written, but atleast something about pterodactyl-cli

axis-esto

Hello again,

I need to apologize for taking this long; I totally forgot about the feedback that I wanted to give. I have used the packages and services for some time now, and they mostly seem to work. I have a few suggestions for tiny changes, but overall, everything works well for me.
Thanks!

I'm not sure why CI fails saying strictDeps = false even though it is set to true. Same question goes to docs...

I am waiting for this. Is there a reason why this isn't merged yet? Am I able to help?

Am I able to help?

👀
Perhaps testing it and approving if everything works correctly...? There's a standalone version as a flake (which is a clone of the add-pterodactyl branch) - PadowYT2/pterodactyl.nix
