When is the beta?

The Beta is now available! Head over to the Install docs and try out Pelican yourself.

What makes Pelican different to Pterodactyl?

We have a dedicated Comparison page where you can see differences and planned features.

Will my Eggs still be compatible?

Yes! We have a newer version of them planned, but the original ones will always work.

How can I migrate to Pelican?

You'll receive an easy guide to migrate from Pterodactyl to Pelican. It will be at least as easy as upgrading was originally.

Are automatic updates planned?

Yes. And easier manual updates too.

Can I use the original API?

Yes, it'll be backwards compatible. Any new changes for the API will be put in a new and separated version.

Where can I submit bugs and pull requests?

They can be posted on our Github!

Will Blueprint extensions work on Pelican?

No, Blueprint extensions will not work with Pelican.

Will the client area match the new admin area?

Yes, we are currently working on that.

Will WHMCS and other billing solutions still work?

To our knowledge, almost all of these solutions use the Panel's API to function. We will be supporting the same API, so everything should work the same.
