Links will come here shortly. In the meantime enjoy some placeholder text because neither the forums nor the panel GUI is up yet.
PocketPanel is both a wrapper and a web-based graphical user interface to control your Minecraft Pocket Edition server.
The wrapper is completely free to use and open source, the Web Interface has a free hosted version with premium options available for power users. Running standalone provides you with (currently) all features available in PocketPanel in form of console commands, some features are expected to only be available where there is a interface to work with.
Ensure NodeJS is installed and is at least version 8.0 or above.
Open your terminal and type node -v, you should see something similar to the following output:
alex@linbox:~$ node -v
v8.9.1If the terminal shows a version lower than 8.0 or if it says node: command not found then you have to install NodeJS version 8.
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs build-essential gitOnce installed, open up terminal again and type node -v to ensure NodeJS is recognized.
Next download the source code for the wrapper, you can either do this by downloading the repository as a ZIP archive or by cloning it (recommended). I will be providing the instructions using git.
Navigate (using your terminal) to where you want PocketPanel to be stored and type
git clone https://github.com/ProjectInfinity/PocketPanel.gitCd into your new PocketPanel directory and type
npm installThis may take a minute or two, please do not interrupt the proccess.
Important: Right now the new server setup is incomplete, so you need to copy a working server to a folder called server inside the main PocketPanel folder!
Once completed you may type
npm startto run PocketPanel.
PocketPanel runs in the foreground so make sure you do not close the terminal as that will also close your server. This may change in the future. It is recommended to use something like tmux or screen with PocketPanel at this time.
Ensure NodeJS is installed and is at least version 8.0 or above.
Open your terminal and type node -v, you should see something similar to the following output:
alex@linbox:~$ node -v
v8.9.1If the terminal shows a version lower than 8.0 or if it says node: command not found then you have to install NodeJS version 8.
curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash -
sudo yum -y install nodejs gcc-c++ make gitCentOS and RHEL do not differ much from Ubuntu / Debian, install dependencies and then continue from the Ubuntu/Debian Running PocketPanel step.

Ensure NodeJS is installed and is at least version 8.0 or above.
To check your installed NodeJS version, press Windows + R and type cmd in the text field.
Once CMD has opened, type node -v in your CMD window. If installed it should show you something similar to the following output:
C:\Users\Alex>node -v
v8.1.4If the window shows a version lower than 8.0 or if it says 'node' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. then you have to install NodeJS version 8.
Go to the following page and download NodeJS, you can choose either the LTS or Current version. Both will work.
Once installed, open up CMD like mentioned earlier and type node -v to ensure NodeJS is recognized.
Next download the source code for the wrapper, you can either do this by downloading the repository as a ZIP archive or by cloning it (recommended).
If you have git installed (download it here https://git-scm.com/download/win) and it is available in your path, open up CMD by pressing Windows + R and typing in cmd. Once opened navigate to where you want PocketPanel to be located, then proceed by typing
git clone https://github.com/ProjectInfinity/PocketPanel.gitAlternatively you can download the repository as a ZIP archive by clicking the following link: https://github.com/ProjectInfinity/PocketPanel/archive/master.zip
Once downloaded, extract it where you want PocketPanel to be located and proceed to the next step.
In your CMD window, ensure you are in the directory of PocketPanel and type
npm installto install the PocketPanel dependencies. This may take a minute or two, so don't cancel it.
Important: Right now the new server setup is incomplete, so you need to copy a working server to a folder called server inside the main PocketPanel folder!
Once completed you may type
npm startto run PocketPanel. PocketPanel runs in the foreground so make sure you do not close the window as that will also close your server. This may change in the future.
Follow the Linux instructions for guidance. If you're using BSD I hope you're familiar enough with the operating system to run a NodeJS program.
Since PocketPanel is incredibly early in development it is not ready to be seriously used by anyone yet. If you really wish to try it out however, it is recommended to take a backup of your server and copy all the files into a folder called server inside the main PocketPanel folder.
Like mentioned above, you are required to copy all your currently working server files into a folder called server in the main PocketPanel folder.
Another thing you need to make sure is that the PocketMine PHAR file is located inside the server folder and is called PocketMine-MP.phar.
