docker-ark

This is docker container running an ARK Survival Evolved server (http://www.playark.com/).

Tested on Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) and Synology DSM 5.2-5644

Features

• Easy install
• Easy to use
• Automatic backup before server update
• Work well with synology

Requirements

• docker installed (see https://docs.docker.com/linux/)
• at least 20GB free disk space (18GB are downloaded for the game server)
• 4GB+ RAM

Usage

• run docker pull fabienfoerster/ark-server
• create a folder to store the server files with enough space (i.e. /data/ark/)
• run docker run -d -e ARK_SERVER_NAME=serverName -e ARK_SERVER_PASSWORD=password -e ARK_SERVER_ADMIN_PASSWORD=adminPassword -e ARK_SERVER_PORT=serverPort -e ARK_SERVER_QUERYPORT=serverQueryport -e ARK_MAX_PLAYER=10 -v /data/ark:/server/ark -p 7778:7778/udp -p 27015:27015/udp fabienfoerster/ark-server

Issues

• Server settings should be described in a GameUserSettings.ini but Synology DSM do not seem to aknowledge this file. It doesn't acknowledge some properties in the file.
