jacobpeddk/ark-server-tools repository overview

⁠docker-ark-server-tools

Docker container for hosting a ARK: Survival Evolved server, with ark-server-tools for management

⁠Docker Image

⁠Run

Run the container with the following command. Remember to change the host path, to fit where you want it to store its data on the host machine.

docker run -d --name ark-server -p 7778:7778/udp -p 27015:27015/udp -v /host/folder/path:/ark jacobpeddk/ark-server-tools:latest

And then to interract with it. Simply run the following command, which will send you into a live terminal within the container:

docker exec -it ark-server bin/bash

⁠Build

open terminal and cd to the folder where you've cloned the repository to. Then run the following command:

docker build --pull -t ark-game-server -f Dockerfile .

Afterwards you can run it just like up in the Run section. But instead of the layer name being:
jacobpeddk/ark-server-tools:latest
Now it's just:
ark-game-server

⁠Example:

docker run -d --name ark-server -p 7778:7778/udp -p 27015:27015/udp -v /host/folder/path:/ark ark-game-server

If you want to follow along with the log output, you can run it as interractive with -it instead of -d:

docker run --rm -it --name ark-server -p 7778:7778/udp -p 27015:27015/udp -v /host/folder/path:/ark ark-game-server

Note the --rm part in above command, will make the container delete itself the moment you exit it.

⁠Build system

Whenever an update to the repositorys main branch happens, the container is automaticly being built and made ready by Docker Hub.
