After your container is up and ARK is installed you can start tweaking your configuration. Basically, you can modify every setting which ARK-Server-Tools are capable of. For reference of the available commands check their docs
The main config files are located at the following path in the container:
/app/server/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini
/app/server/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini
You can easily apply your changes directly into these files.
Alternatively, it is possible to run any available command with ARK-Server-Tools and apply your changes that way:
$ docker exec ark_server arkmanager status
$ docker exec ark_server arkmanager update --force
$ docker exec ark_server arkmanager installmods
For a full list of all available commands check here
Add cronjobs
It is also possible to add cronjobs inside the cointainer. You could use the crontab for update- or backup-stuff. In order to do so, edit the crontab-file located direct in the server-volume.
$ vim "${HOME}/ark-server/crontab"
Add your desired cronjobs with valid syntax:
Add your desired cronjobs with valid syntax:
0 0 * * * arkmanager update --warn --update-mods >> ${SERVER_VOLUME}/log/crontab.log 2>&1
0 0 * * * arkmanager backup >> ${SERVER_VOLUME}/log/crontab.log 2>&1
Close file (:wq) and restart the container:
$ docker restart ark_server
