Creating Node¶

To add a new node to your panel, which only runs servers and not the panel itself, follow these steps.

Requirements¶

A node must meet the requirements defined in Installation

Install on Node¶

Install the PufferPanel package onto the node.

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install pufferpanel

RPM-based

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/pufferpanel/pufferpanel/script.rpm.sh?any=true | sudo bash
sudo yum install pufferpanel

Create Node in Panel¶

Log into your panel as an admin. Go to “Nodes”. Click “Add Node”.

Fill in the information requested on this page. Click “Create Node”.

Click Next until you get to the config.

Open the /etc/pufferpanel/config.json file on the node and replace the contents of this file with the one shown on the panel.

Start the node¶

sudo systemctl enable --now pufferpanel
