Ark Survived Evolved - Docker

Docker build for managing an Ark Survived Evolved server.

This image uses [Ark Server Tools] (https://github.com/FezVrasta/ark-server-tools) to manage an ark server.

Usage

Fast & Easy server setup :
docker run -d -p 7778:7778 -p 27016:27016 -e SESSIONNAME=myserver -e ADMINPASSWORD="mypasswordadmin" --name ark turzam/ark

You can map the ark volume to access config files :
docker run -d -p 7778:7778 -p 27016:27016 -e SESSIONNAME=myserver -v /my/path/to/ark:/ark --name ark turzam/ark
Then you can edit /my/path/to/ark/arkcmanager.cfg (the values override GameUserSetting.ini) and /my/path/to/ark/server/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSetting.ini.

You can manager your server with rcon if you map the rcon port :
docker run -d -p 7778:7778 -p 27016:27016 -p 32330:32330 -e SESSIONNAME=myserver --name ark turzam/ark

You can define a server that updates itself every 2 hours and backups itself every hours:
docker run -d -p 7778:7778 -p 27016:27016 -e SESSIONNAME=myserver -e AUTOBACKUP=60 -e AUTOUPDATE=120 --name ark turzam/ark

You can check your server with :
docker exec ark arkmanager status

You can manually update your server:
docker exec ark arkmanager update

You can force save your server :
docker exec ark arkmanager saveworld

You can use rcon command via docker :
docker exec ark arkmanager rconcmd ListPlayers
