Panel Auto Patch + Release

This repository automates:

1. Fetching upstream https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel
2. Applying local patch files from patches/*.patch
3. Building production frontend assets
4. Packaging a release-ready panel source archive
5. Publishing a GitHub release tagged as vX.Y.Z-YYYYMMDD

X.Y.Z is parsed from the latest top entry in upstream CHANGELOG.md.

Install

For installation, follow the official guide:

https://pterodactyl.io/panel/1.0/getting_started.html

Important:

1. Use your own/custom release link and repository link wherever the guide references official download sources.
2. Do not point installs to upstream binaries/source if you want your patched build deployed.

Update

For updates, follow all instructions in the official update guide:

https://pterodactyl.io/panel/1.0/updating.html

Important:

1. Follow every step on that page in order.
2. Replace upstream download/reference links with your custom release link when pulling new panel code.
3. Keep your local .env and persistent data, and follow the guide’s maintenance, dependency, migration, and cache steps exactly.

Workflow

Workflow file: .github/workflows/weekly-patch-release.yml

Triggers:

1. Weekly schedule (Monday 03:00 UTC)
2. Manual run (workflow_dispatch)

Manual inputs:

1. upstream_ref (optional): branch/tag/SHA to build from
2. date_override (optional): force date in YYYYMMDD

Patches

Put patch files into patches/ with .patch extension.

They are applied in filename order using git apply.

Output

Each run creates:

1. dist/panel_vX.Y.Z-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz
2. dist/SHA256SUMS

Then a GitHub release is created (or updated) with tag format:

vX.Y.Z-YYYYMMDD
