Does it have to be pterodactyl? I have two servers set up with Docker and they were very easy to set up.

I use this: https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server

If you're a beginner use Pufferpanel. Pterodactyl is a nightmare to setup and maintain.

Seconding this. Itzg's server is so easy, I taught my 15 year old niece to run one.

well using a web gui it'll make it easier for me to control the files and etc

Itgz has Java and Bedrock variants, and there are a few useful helper tools out there for bedrock.

My son has a Nintendo switch lite does this work with it?
