2 nodes to one
Hello, I have 2 pterodactyl nodes. I just bought a 3rd better one, and I want to merge the data of both nodes onto the 3rd one. How do I do this?

If you want the tedious way
Add the 3rd node as a new node within Pterodactyl, create all your allocations
Go into manage for each server, and transfer the server to the 3rd node
wouldnt call that tedious
the other would be making new servers and transfering files manually
I usually make the new node, copy all the server files via rclone, update the database to put them on the 3rd node
ig most dont know how to properly modify their db
and can end not great
Yeah, it's why I wasn't going to suggest it first :>
Allocations are also handled weirdly, e.g. the server table has an allocations column, but there's also the allocation table
You have to remove both mappings and then create a new mapping in the UI
Or create the mapping in both tables
But yeah, non-advanced users, I'd recommend just doing the transfer way
isnt that buggy
the ptero panel says its buggy
what database
theoretically
can i go into the uh
whats it called
var lib volumes
and copy paste those files into the 3rd node
and then edit the DB to change the IPs
thats what pterodox.com
suggests
only issue with tht is that it would still show you as being on the old nodes, no/
@ProGamingDk
dont have to ping me, "buggy" just make a backup and see if it works tbh
Then update the node number in the database too
UPDATE panel.servers SET nodeid = '3' WHERE nodeid = '1';
or whatever the column name is, I can't remember from the top of my head
but then you also have to update the allocations node_id toowhere can you find the column names
how
If I'm being honest, if you're unsure how to navigate your database, you shouldn't do it this way.
