Set your hostname, description, identity, tags, and common gameplay values.

Where to make these changes in the Konnect panel

Open the server from the Arix-themed Pterodactyl server list. Use Console for commands and errors, Files for configuration and uploads, Backups before risky changes, Schedules for automation, Users for delegated access, and Settings for SFTP details. Stop the server before replacing active save or database files, then watch Console during the next startup.

Konnect Hosting Arix themed Pterodactyl server list
All game servers share Pterodactyl’s core management tools; game-specific files and commands differ.

Where configuration lives

The primary configuration is stored inside the cfg directory for your server identity. Create server.cfg if it does not already exist.

Common settings

Set a clear hostname and description, choose accurate server tags, and avoid copying large configuration templates you do not understand. Change one group of settings at a time and restart to test.
