## Configure ARK Server
## Configuration
All the needed variables are stored in the /etc/arkmanager/arkmanager.cfg configuration file change them following the comments.
Stored in `/etc/arkmanager/arkmanager.cfg` you can find the variables needed to start the server, like the port numbers, the system environment variables and so on.
Also, in this file, you can specify any parameter you want to add to the startup command of ARK server.
These parameters must be prefixed by the `ark_` string, some example could be:
```sh
ark_SessionName="My ARK server"
ark_MaxPlayers=50
ark_ServerPVE=False
ark_DifficultyOffset=1
```
Your session name may contain special characters (eg. `!![EU]!! Aw&some ARK`) which could break the startup command.
In this case you may want to comment out the `ark_SessionName` variable and define it inside your **GameUserSettings.ini** file.
You can override or add variables for a specific system user creating a file called `.arkmanager.cfg` in the home directory of the system user.
