Pelican-Wings

Pelican Wings is the server control plane for the Pelican game server panel.

  • Game Servers
  • Infrastructure
Pelican Wings is the server control plane for the Pelican game server panel. It provides an HTTP API to manage running game server instances, pull logs, generate backups, and control the full server lifecycle, and it includes a built-in SFTP server so the system needs no extra Pelican-specific dependencies. It's built for panel operators and administrators who self-host game servers and want a performant, secure, self-contained wing.

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

Resources & Compatibility

Requirements not published yet.

First-install notes

  • Install in a virtual environment first Run python3 -m venv ~/virtualenvs/pelican, activate it, and install Pelican with python3 -m pip install "pelican[markdown]". This separate workspace helps avoid permission problems and includes Markdown support so your .md posts can turn into web pages. source
  • Install a theme before publishing Use pelican-themes --install <theme-folder> --verbose to install the theme before building your site. The theme holds the layout, styling, and template files, so a missing or wrong theme can make the site look unfinished or fail to build. source
  • Keep settings and content files safe Keep pelicanconf.py (the main settings file) and your content folder, such as content, backed up in a safe place. This file tells Pelican where posts live and how to name the finished pages, so losing or breaking it can make posts disappear or links go wrong. source

Common questions

Do SFTP users need separate credentials?

No, Wings includes a built-in SFTP server and users can authenticate with the same credentials they use for the Panel.

Why might Wings fail on some VPS or dedicated server?

Some hosts use a modified kernel that does not support Docker features required by Wings. Run uname -r, and if the kernel ends in -xxxx-grs-ipv6-64 or -xxxx-mod-std-ipv6-64, contact the host for a non-modified kernel.

Where should I store the game server files?

It is recommended to keep server files on a separate partition. This prevents the root partition from filling and causing the host to crash.

How do I keep a running Wings installation up to date?

Ongoing maintenance includes updating Panel and Wings, monitoring system health, managing services, and using Artisan CLI commands.

What should I check if schedules or file uploads stop working?

Check the troubleshooting guidance for schedule execution problems, file upload issues, and Wings connectivity failures.
