# Task #44 — NC1 Node Usage Stats: Deployment Plan

**Status:** READY — installation steps documented
**Discovered:** March 12, 2026 (Chronicler #29)
**Planned:** Dedicated session required

## Root Cause
NC1 node stats showing dashes in Pterodactyl panel (CPU, RAM, Disk, Swap, 
I/O, Network). Node Usage Status addon from Velta Studios requires custom
Wings build to expose these metrics.

## Solution
Install "Node Usage Status" addon (v1.0.2) — licensed via BuiltByBit.
File already downloaded: NodeUsageStatus-v1.0.2.zip on Panel VPS at
/var/www/pterodactyl/NodeUsageStatus-v1.0.2.zip
Extracted to: /var/www/pterodactyl/NodeUsageStatus_extracted/

## WARNING — Wings Recompile Required
This addon requires modifying Wings source code and rebuilding the binary.
If the build fails, game servers lose their daemon connection.
Do NOT attempt during a long session or when servers are active.

## Part 1: Panel Installation

### Step 1: Upload panel files
cd /var/www/pterodactyl/NodeUsageStatus_extracted/PanelFiles
cp -r app/Http/Controllers/Admin/VeltaStudios /var/www/pterodactyl/app/Http/Controllers/Admin/
cp resources/views/admin/nodes/view/index.blade.php /var/www/pterodactyl/resources/views/admin/nodes/view/

### Step 2: Modify routes/admin.php
Add the NodeStats route. Reference the HTML guide for exact location.

### Step 3: Optimize panel
cd /var/www/pterodactyl
php artisan optimize
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/pterodactyl

## Part 2: Wings Installation (TX1 + NC1 both)

### Step 4.1: Download Wings source
WINGSDIR="/srv/wings"
mkdir -p $WINGSDIR && cd $WINGSDIR
Download latest Wings source zip from GitHub releases and unzip.

### Step 4.2: Upload Wings addon files
Copy from Panel VPS extraction:
- WingsFiles/router/router_node_stats.go -> Wings router directory
- WingsFiles/system/metrics.go -> Wings system directory

### Step 4.3: Modify router/router.go
Add node stats router include. Reference HTML guide for exact line.

### Step 4.4: Install Go if not present
go version  # check first

### Step 4.5: Build and restart Wings
systemctl stop wings
go build -o /usr/local/bin/wings
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wings
systemctl start wings
Build takes several minutes. Monitor carefully.
