## Description

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.

## 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.
