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

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.

Hello! I just wanted to say thank you for your work. I am eagerly awaiting this to be merged, and would like to start using it and migrating my running instances to this.
This would be a way cleaner solution than anything I have done for my own configuration to run panel and wings currently, so thanks again. I cannot really say right now if there is anything that should be changed, it seems to do everything that would be required, I think.

Just a short update from my part: I sadly did not yet find the time to actually test it out with my instances. It will probably take another few weeks for me to get back with some actual test results. Sorry for the wait&silence, I have it on my to-do list and will update you with whether my migration worked as soon as I get to it.
