From what I can tell Pterodactyl is a collection of software which, as @IAmGav said, is designed for game server management. That said, one of the components is a standard Nginx web server install with config added for the Pterodactyl Panel web interface. Conceivably it would be possible to install Discourse alongside Pterodactyl in much the same way as described here: > [@Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/running-other-websites-on-the-same-machine-as-discourse/17247): > > @pfaffman edited this heavily 2022.02.24. Blame me if it’s broken. If you want to run other websites on the same machine as Discourse, you need to set up an extra NGINX or HAProxy proxy in front of the Docker container. NOTE: This is for advanced admins This guide assumes you already have Discourse working - if you don’t, it may be hard to tell whether or not the configuration is working. You cannot use ./discourse-setup to set up Discourse if another server is using port 80 or 443. You will… This would be an advanced and unsupported install of Discourse, however. It would require good knowledge of Linux server administration and it would require that you have Pterodactyl installed on a system that you have root access to. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-do-i-run-discourse-on-pterodactyl-panel/208763)._
