Pterodactyl Wings Offline – Daemon Won't Connect to Panel

Quick answer: Wings offline = daemon can't reach panel. Check config.yml (token, URL), SSL certificate, port 8080 and if wings is running.

If you landed here: Pterodactyl panel shows node "Offline", servers won't start or show "Wings offline".

Checklist

1. systemctl status wings
2. journalctl -u wings -n 50
3. /etc/pterodactyl/config.yml – token + panel URL correct?
4. Valid SSL cert for node FQDN?
5. ufw allow 8080/tcp
