# How to setup an Arma Reforger server on Pterodactyl

This guide covers how to setup an Arma Reforger server on the [Pterodactyl panel](https://pterodactyl.io/).

|| This requires that you have Pterodactyl setup on a server already. Looking for a VPS or Pterodactyl installation?  [Take a look at our VPS plans](https://volthosting.co.uk/vpshosting.html) (which include Pterodactyl installation), or [get in contact with us](https://volthosting.co.uk/contact.html) to have us install Pterodactyl onto your own server.

1. Firstly, you need to go to the [pterodactyl eggs repository and download the Arma Reforger egg.](https://pterodactyleggs.com/?q=Arma%20Reforger)

6. Here's you need to fill out the information to create your Arma Reforger server. Firstly, you need to enter in the specifications to assign to your server. A table is below, which lists the minimum and recommended specs.

| To calculate the CPU cores, 100% = 1 core, 200% = 2 cores, and so on.

|   | Bare Minimum | Recommended |
| ---- |
| Processor | Recent x86/64 (AMD/Intel) processor. No ARM support. | Can use up to 300-600% CPU under load with uncapped FPS (set Max FPS to prevent). |
| RAM | 3328 MiB | 6144-8192 MiB |
| Storage | 5 GB | 7-10 GB (or more, depending on number of mods downloaded) |
| Game Ownership | Not required to start or download mods. | ----- |

To operate the server effectively, you should have the following ports assigned to the server:

| Port | Default | Protocol | Required | Notes |
| ---- |
| Game | 2001 | UDP | Yes | Primary port in Panel |
| A2S | 17777 | UDP | No | Steam Query / Requires additional configuration in `config.json` |
| RCON | 19999 | UDP | No | Requires additional configuration in `config.json` |

Below is an example configuration:

10. Once the server has been installed, it'll start automatically. Once you see `container@pterodactyl~ Server marked as running...` in the console, the server has been started.

11. If you assigned the additional ports ( `A2S` and `RCON`), then you'll need to do some additional configuration in the `config.json` file. Head over to the `Files` tab.

13. Now you need to add some additional lines to your configuration file. Please add the lines below to the **bottom** of your configuration file.

||| Please replace `your_rcon_password` with a **STRONG, SECURE** password, and `your_IP_here` with your servers public IP address.

```
"a2s": {
        "address": "your_IP_here",
        "port": 17777
    },
    "rcon": {
        "address": "your_IP_here",
        "port": 19999,
        "password": "your_rcon_password",
        "maxClients": 16,
        "permission": "admin",
        "blacklist": [],
        "whitelist": []
    }
```
Our example is below:
