# ARK: Survival Evolved Linux Server Tools
|
|
|
|
This tool allows you to manage any ARK: Survival Evolved linux server without having to remember long commands.
|
|
It provides a lot of features, to get the full list check the **Commands** section on the bottom of this page.
|
|
|
|
## Pre-requisites
|
|
|
|
To install ARK Server Tools you must have already installed **SteamCMD** following this guide:
|
|
|
|
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Linux
|
|
|
|
We assume you have created the `steam` user to store steamcmd and your ARK server.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
To allow your ARK server to communicate with the outside you have to open some ports in your firewall:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 27016 -j ACCEPT
|
|
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 27016 -j ACCEPT
|
|
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 7778 -j ACCEPT
|
|
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 7778 -j ACCEPT
|
|
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 32330 -j ACCEPT
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
NB: Change the ports according to the ones set in your `arkmanager.cfg` file.
|
|
|
|
## Install ARK Server Tools
|
|
|
|
To install ARK Server Tools run this command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -sL http://git.io/vtf5N | sudo bash -s steam
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
NB: You may want to change the `bash -s` parameter to fit your steam user if different from `steam`.
|
|
|
|
This will copy the `arkmanager` script and its daemon to the proper directories and will create an empty log directory in `/var/log` for ARK Server Tools.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
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 not contain special characters (eg. `!![EU]!! Aw&some ARK`) as it 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 instead.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
