Help Settings up AutoStart

[trentnbauer]

Hi There, I've set up the AutoStart script but it does not work. I've set the description of my servers to "alwaysStart" but I am unsure how to troubleshoot it as I'm relatively new to Linux.

Is there a command I can type to view a log file and see where it is breaking?

Sorry for the silly question...

Thanks,

[unixfox]

Hello, How did you setup the script? Using the .service file or with cron? If you didn't use the .service did you set the correct environment variables?

[trentnbauer]

Hi! I set it up as a service. In the service file, I put in the API url (I can browse to the url though it shows a pterodactyl 404) and the token

[unixfox]

Did you generate an account token or an application token?

EDIT: You only need to generate an account API token.

[trentnbauer]

I generated an account API token

Edit: it looks like I've generated both an account and application token. I assume I should be using the account one?

I'll confirm it is the account type shortly

[unixfox]

Yes you only need to specify the account token in the token environment variable because the API that I'm using is only available for accounts created on pterodactyl.

I just added an installation tutorial in the README: https://github.com/Alteiria/pterodactylAutoStart/blob/master/README.md#installation. Please note that I've renamed the name of the service file.

Maybe you could try it and let me know if you still have issues.

Hi mate, I followed your guide and re-installed the autostart and I am getting this error:

Can you paste the result of these two commands:

• jq --version

• curl -s https://your.pterodactyl.panel/api/client \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YourToken" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: Application/vnd.pterodactyl.v1+json" | jq

  Don't forget to change your.pterodactyl.panel and YourToken

I promise there is no personal information, I'm asking you these two commands to understand why my script can't fetch the server list.

And when you paste the content please use the correct markdown code for embedding code like this:

your log

[trentnbauer]

jq --version reports back "jq-1.6" The second piece of code reports back

{ "errors": [ { "code": "NotFoundHttpException", "status": "404", "detail": "An error was encountered while processing this request." } ]

[unixfox]

Hum that 404 error is not normal. What's your pterodactyl version? You can get it from the panel page at the bottom right corner.

[trentnbauer]

browsing to http://pterodactyl/client and http://10.0.3.2/client shows a pterodactyl themed 404 https://pasteboard.co/IdEqiXo.png

[trentnbauer]

Panel version 0.7.13

[unixfox]

On the curl command did you set http://pterodactyl/client or http://pterodactyl/api/client for the URL ?

[trentnbauer]

sorry, i did /client! i reran it with api/client and got this

Can you confirm that you didn't do the same mistake while configuring the environment variable baseurl in the service file? Make sure to have a similar url as http://pterodactyl/api.

EDIT : maybe you could paste here the line of the environment variable baseurl of the service file so that I check if you wrote it correctly.

[trentnbauer]

I have updated the base url to this, but it is still not working Environment=baseURL="http://pterodactyl/api/client"

[JesFot]

@xardoniak Don't know if you fixed the issue but I think you should try removing the "/client" part of the baseURL.

[unixfox]

I'll modify the script to avoid that kind of mistake.

[trentnbauer]

Hey, apologies on not getting back to you. I changed the script back to be just /api and I'm unable to get my servers to start via the script. Unsure what I'm doing wrong... any thoughts on what to check next?

I'm more than happy to PM you the autostart script with the token as well as some shots from within Pterodactyl if that helps?

[unixfox]

I plan to modify and add check for errors this week I'll get back to you once it's done.
