// The problem
Running CS2 servers on Pterodactyl meant manual updates, bloated images and noisy consoles, repeated across every host and community.
// Approach
- An automated Docker container that updates the server and manages plugins on its own.
- Storage optimisation that cuts image size by around 80%.
- Smart console filtering plus auto restarts and cleanup routines.
// Engineering challenges
- Cutting image size hard without breaking the runtime.
- Filtering console noise without hiding the lines that matter.
- Making it robust enough to run unattended.
