Self-Hosted Panel

Host and manage ItsMyBot using your own instance of the Pterodactyl or Pelican panel.

Running your own panel like Pterodactyl gives you an intuitive interface for managing bots and apps while retaining server control.

Requirements

A server with Pterodactyl installed.
Properly configured Pterodactyl (Wings, SSL, database, etc.).
ItsMyBot is optimized for efficiency, using less than 200MB of RAM under normal conditions, but it is recommended to allocate 500MB to ensure smooth operation.

Before creating a server, you need to have a Node.js egg installed on your panel. If it's not already installed, follow the steps below to install it.
Go to your Admin panel of Pterodactyl, and navigate to Servers.
Click on Create Server and fill in the required fields:
- Name: Choose a name for your bot.
- Server Owner: Select the user who will own the server, usually yourself. You can type the email address of the user to find them.
- Memory: Allocate at least 500MB of RAM for the bot to ensure smooth operation.
- Disk Space: Allocate at least 4GB of disk space for the bot and its dependencies.
- Nest: Select the nest you created earlier (e.g., Generic).
- Egg: Select the Node.js egg you imported.
- Docker Image: Ensure it is set to a version higher than Node.js 20.x
- Main File: Ensure it is set to build/index.js.
Click on Create Server to create the server.
You can now go back to the user panel of Pterodactyl, select the server you just created and follow the Hosting Provider guide to run the bot.

Download the Node.js egg from the Pterodactyl Egg Repository. You just need to righ-click on the page and select Save as to save the file.
Go to your Admin panel of Pterodactyl.
Navigate to Nests and click on Create New.
Put the name of the nest, for example Generic.
Click on Save and go back to the Nests page.
Click on the Import Egg button, select the file you downloaded, associate it with the nest you just created, and click on Import.
