BeamMP on Chapter22 Pterodactyl: First Session

First session checklist

1. Checkout BeamMP hosting and wait for the service to provision.
2. Open Pterodactyl → your BeamMP server.
3. Set a clear Name in ServerConfig.toml.
4. Paste a valid AuthKey (guide).
5. Confirm Port matches the panel allocation (default 30814).
6. Start the server; console should become ready without Auth errors.
7. Join via Direct Connect with IP:port, then invite friends.

Useful defaults

AuthKey = "YOUR_KEY"
Port = 30814
Private = true
MaxCars = 2
AllowGuests = true

Flip Private = false when you want list visibility.
