Glacier Pack for Pterodactyl
A family of 46 standalone addons for Pterodactyl Panel v1.12.x, managed from one hub. Glacier Pack installs as self-contained packages — no Blueprint, no module daemons on your nodes — and replaces the sprawl of 46 separate admin pages with a single custom dashboard at /admin/glacier-pack that hosts every addon's complete management UI in one Glacier-styled page.
Built for PingLess Studiosstudio.pingless.org · Standalone packages, installed directly on the panel
Architecture
The hub is the only admin surface. Each addon's original admin pages and sidebar links are removed on install; everything an admin could do there — every table, form, action, filter and stat — renders inside a hub pane instead. Forms still post to each addon's own endpoints and land back on the same pane, so nothing about how the addons work changes — only where you manage them.
Key Features
- One admin dashboard for everything. A single "Glacier Pack" sidebar tab opens a standalone, full-page admin UI styled after the Glacier theme editor — near-black surfaces, teal accent, its own chrome (not AdminLTE). Root-admin only, guarded twice.
- 46 addons, two packs. The Basic pack covers panel operations (recycle bin, URL downloads, logs, alerts, uptime, audit trail, schedule/startup presets, PWA shell); the Advanced pack covers hosting workflows (S3 backups, plugin/mod/modpack installers, staff delegation, subdomains, server imports, world and version management, game-specific tooling).
- Full pages in-hub, not summaries. Each addon renders its complete original UI as a hub pane — tables, forms, pagination, stat cards — with pill-style sub-tabs for multi-page addons.
- Uniform save flow. Every form carries a
_hubreturn URL; successful saves land back on the same pane with a success banner, and validation errors render in a hub-styled callout above the form. - Standalone packaging, zero framework dependencies. Every addon is a self-contained directory that mirrors the panel root (
PanelFiles/) with an idempotentdata/install.shinstaller — no Blueprint, no external CDN assets, no core-file replacement (marker-delimited patches only). - Client surfaces without rebuilds. Addons ship their client UI as static JS/CSS loaded at runtime — no
yarn build(Recycle Bin additionally offers an optional compiled SPA integration). The panel's React app is enhanced, never forked. - Glacier theme compatible. Client-facing addon styles consume Glacier design tokens (
var(--gl-*, fallback)), so every addon inherits Glacier's accent, surfaces and radius when the theme is installed — and keeps its own look when it isn't. - Safe delegation built in. Permission Manager gives staff a restricted admin area at
/admin/staffwith real, auto-provisioned Pterodactyl subusers — noroot_admingrants, enforced by the panel itself. - Idempotent installers. Every
install.shis safe to re-run (and should be re-run after panel updates overwrite patched files), registers one service provider, runs migrations, and clears caches.
Quick Install
Install the hub first — it is the only admin surface for the whole family:
cd glacier-pack && sudo bash data/install.shThen install any addon the same way:
cd recycle-bin && sudo bash data/install.shOpen Admin → Glacier Pack (or /admin/glacier-pack) as a root admin. See Installation for prerequisites, verification and troubleshooting.

Works with the Glacier theme
Every addon's client-facing UI is Glacier-compatible: styles reference the theme's design tokens through var(--gl-*, fallback) chains, so with the Glacier theme installed, addon surfaces inherit its accent color, surfaces, borders and radius automatically — in both dark and light mode. Without Glacier, the fallback values render each addon's own standalone look, pixel-identical to how it shipped. Nothing is required, nothing breaks either way.
INFO
Glacier compatibility applies to client-facing surfaces only (server pages, account area, login page). The hub and the admin area are styled by the hub's own stylesheet, independent of any theme.
