Quick Start
The fastest useful Glacier Pack setup: the hub plus three starter addons — Recycle Bin (recoverable deletes), URL Download (fetch files straight into a server), and Login Activity (sign-in history). Everything is managed from one page afterwards.
1. Install the hub
cd glacier-pack
sudo bash data/install.shThis registers the hub provider, adds the Glacier Pack sidebar tab, and clears caches. Open Admin → Glacier Pack — the rail lists all 46 addons; the three you are about to install will light up as they land.
2. Install the starter addons
cd ../recycle-bin && sudo bash data/install.sh
cd ../url-download && sudo bash data/install.sh
cd ../login-activity && sudo bash data/install.shWARNING
Recycle Bin patches the panel's React frontend — run a rebuild after installing it:
cd /var/www/pterodactyl
yarn build:productionURL Download and Login Activity need no build step.
3. Your first save through the hub
Open Admin → Glacier Pack and click Recycle Bin in the rail (or go straight to /admin/glacier-pack?a=recycle-bin).
- Set Default retention window (hours) to how long trashed files should stay recoverable — the default is
24. - Set Default per-server capacity —
0means unlimited; trashed files count against the server's real disk quota, so a limit is worth setting on shared nodes. - Press Save settings.
You land back on the same pane with the green Settings saved. banner — that round-trip is how every addon in the family saves.
4. Try the other two
URL Download (?a=url-download) — set Max file size (default 10 GB) and Max URLs per batch (default 3), then save. Users get a Download from URL button in the server file manager immediately.
Login Activity (?a=login-activity) — nothing to configure here; the pane lists recent sign-ins across all users with IP, device and outcome, so you can spot account trouble at a glance.
5. See it as a user
- Recycle Bin: open any server's file manager, delete a file, then use the Recycle Bin toolbar button to restore it.
- URL Download: in the same file manager, click Download from URL, paste a link, pick a folder, watch it land — no SFTP round-trip.
- Login Activity: open your Account page as any user; their own sign-in history is listed right there.
