Pterodactyl Smart Provider

 # 🦖 Rusty Smart – Pterodactyl Provider > Use the Pterodactyl Panel API to dynamically scale your minecraft network! Requires Rusty Connector & Smart ## 🌍 What Is a Provider? In Rusty Smart, a **Provider** is an adapter that connects the Smart module to a specific infrastructure system. Providers are what make Smart *cloud-agnostic* — they translate Smart’s scaling logic into actions your platform understands (create, delete, or monitor servers). The **Pterodactyl Provider** adds support for the **[Pterodactyl Panel](https://pterodactyl.io/)**, allowing Smart to create and delete Minecraft servers directly through its API. It requires **admin API access** to manage servers automatically. --- ## ⚙️ Compatibility This provider works with: - **Pterodactyl Panel v1.0+** (admin API key required) - **Any Egg** configured on your Pterodactyl instance - **RustyConnector** and **[Rusty Smart Module](https://modrinth.com/plugin/rcm-smart)** --- ## 🧱 Installation 1. Place the `.jar` file inside the `rc-modules` folder of your Minecraft Proxy. 2. Restart your RustyConnector kernel. 3. Configure your Pterodactyl credentials in the config file. 4. Smart will start managing your servers dynamically. --- ## 💬 Support For setup instructions and advanced usage, read the 📘 [Pterodactyl Provider Documentation](https://smart.democraft.fr/docs/providers/official/pterodactyl/) or join the 💬 [Rusty Smart Discord](https://dsc.gg/drmcld) for community support.
