Thank you for this! Up and running!

I have really enjoyed your work on Ark Ascended. Please reconsider. It is the reason in part why I use unraid and my favorite game.

Hi, @ich777 Been been using the Ark Ascended image and it works great. I do have to periodically delete the steamapps folder for the game to update but that is minor. Noticed a new issue for the first time today and I am not sure what it means? The container starts and I can join but it appears something may be broken? Is the collector what runs the clean-up pf the server? Using the latest unraid. Here is what I see in the logs: 12-15 14:08:20.345 32 460 W Warning/GameAnalytics : Available resource currencies must be set before SDK is initialized 12-15 14:08:20.345 32 460 W Warning/GameAnalytics : Available resource item types must be set before SDK is initialized 12-15 14:08:20.345 32 460 W Warning/GameAnalytics : SDK already initialized.

What is the difference with the Ark Ascended Repository ghcr.io/ich777/steamcmd:asa and ich777/steamcmd:asa? For some reason I have servers with both though most are ich777/steamcmd:asa. I am trying to sort through some issues with my cluster still since I had to move the appdata folder to put in a larger cache. I can transfer just fine to at least one other server but many let me transfer/download my character but there it does not seem to download the map. Also weird issues with the servers showing up PVP though they are PVE (and set correctly). Edit: Figured this out. I forget to change the path name to the name of the new cache. :) Some of these no doubt are Ark Ascended issues but I would like to know if there is a difference with the repositories? Thanks

I have the same exact issue, new to this update. I am trying to add another Ark Ascended Server but it will not give me the option.

Hello, curious to those who are running the Ark Ascended Dockers. My cluster has been set up and working well for a long time. After the big 5.5 update one server (Astraeos) seems to load and run well. For whatever reason it updated fine with no issue. I started going through some other servers in the cluster to update them (i.e. Extinction, Scorched Earth) and they appear to update fine but I get what appears to be a error of some sort and it ends up in a reloading loop. I have tried clearing the steamapps folder but no luck. Here is what I see, if someone can help me understand the issue I would appreciate it: Connecting anonymously to Steam Public...OK Waiting for client config...OK Waiting for user info...OK Success! App '2430930' already up to date. Unloading Steam API...OK ---Checking the maximum map count per process...--- ---Maximum map count per process OK...--- ---Current map count per process: 265000--- ---Checking if WINE workdirectory is present--- ---WINE workdirectory found--- ---Checking if WINE is properly installed--- ---WINE properly set up--- ---Prepare Server--- ---Server ready--- ---Start Server--- Waiting for logs...

Hello, I am shutting down my ARK SE servers I had on Host Havoc forever. I have the Ark SE container working with no mods. When is loads it sees my dinos and character OK from my saved data from the Host Havoc Server install but is just vanilla. When I added the mods I copied them from my server and put them in the /ShooterGame/Content/Mods directory of the Ark SE Container in Unraid. I was not 100% sure where to put the activemod line. Normally I have had it in the gameuserseettings.ini on host havoc. I did not add them to the Game Parameters or Extra Game Parameters as I did with the Ark Ascended containers. So I tried it and the server seems to reboot over an over. I tried taking the mods out of my gameuserseettings.ini in the config folder and put the the ActiveMod line in the Game Parameters or Extra Game Parameters. That just resulted in the server loading with no mods. With the gameusersettings.ini in place with the proper active mod line an nothing in the game parameters settings in unraid it reboots over and over. There is an error message that comes up very quickly and disappears. I think this is the error from the mod log: S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed. Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 346110 Signal 11 caught. /opt/scripts/start-server.sh: line 72: 64 Segmentation fault ./ShooterGameServer ${MAP}?listen?SessionName=${SERVER_NAME}?ServerPassword=${SRV_PWD}?ServerAdminPassword=${SRV_ADMIN_PWD}${GAME_PARAMS} ${GAME_PARAMS_EXTRA} [S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed. Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 346110 Session terminated, killing shell... ...killed. I realize the one about the S_API FAIL is normal but what about the other? I did use the validate function to check things. I think that does just the core ark files and not the mods? It should be noted that I have like 38 or so mods on this server. Any assistance in figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.

I recently updated my Unraid server to 7.0.1 from 6.12.15 and it was pretty smooth. Only issue so far that I have run into is that the unluckyBackup will not start at all. It says Execution Error/Server Error. This is from the execution log: -l net.unraid.docker.managed=dockerman -l net.unraid.docker.webui='http://[IP]:[PORT:8080]/vnc.html?autoconnect=true' -l net.unraid.docker.icon='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ich777/docker-templates/master/ich777/images/luckybackup.png' -p '8080:8080/tcp' -v '/mnt/cache/appdata/luckybackup/':'/luckybackup':'rw' -v '/mnt':'/mnt/user':'rw' --restart=unless-stopped 'ich777/luckybackup' 88fafb413aae15c43a3e32b98de787277b87f0aa1d6f7b9c8f549e3bd56c9783 docker: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint luckyBackup (a8b5d6d0e242809de38050da71faeab805e456795961413ff5c49cc51a7be4ec): Bind for 0.0.0.0:8080 failed: port is already allocated. I tried digging through the forum here but did not find anything that helps. I know 7.0 introduced new things and it sounds like that might be the issue since it appears others are running it. I really rely on this to back-up stuff from my other NAS I have. Can someone point me in the right direction to get things working again? I am a bit of an Unraid newb but learning. Edit: Turns out I had installed Immich and it was using the same web port (8080). I am back in business it appears. It is safe to change this to another port?

I have not tried to restore from a back-up. Is that the recommended option?

So, my drives show up correctly in the settings and information. I have selected options under visible front page information, did a ctrl - F5 and the dashboard is still blank. I even tried the suggestion that I change the LED signals from Dynamic to static and back to dynamic (with a ctrk F5 in between. To clarify the dashboard icons don't show any data when I hover over them like they use to. I guess I am lost. How to I restore the section on the dashboard to show information again?

Thank you so much for the detailed response! I shall give it a go this weekend!

Thanks I have Ark Ascended working well with your container. I am wondering how to create a cluster with The Island and Scorched earth with your container. I am not seeing much on that for Ark Ascended since it is newer. I am somewhat familiar with cluster ID's but didn't think I could run 2 servers in on container. Do I run two containers (can I even do that in Unraid with this image?) and have some common place for the data?

Any guidance or information on setting up an Ark Ascended cluster in Unraid using ich777's container? I saw some guidance for Ark Survival Evolved. Not having much luck with google or searching this thread.

So I figured out my issue. I had a space in the server/docker name. I didn't catch that before but now it loads. I had changed the server ports to 7780 and 7781 but it did not seem to like that either. Default ports of 7777 and 7778 worked ok. All are forwarded in my router. How can I change the ports to not conflict with the default ASA ports? I see the message to delete and add it back in but I guess there is something I am missing. "UDP Gameport (if you need another port, please delete this entry and create a new UDP Port with the required port number, also don't forget to click an 'Show more settings ...' and change the port number" Do I add an UDP entry for port 7780 if that is what I want to use from the add another path, port option on the bottom? I cannot simply change the value. Do I change the docker port? Sorry just learning the stuff so I appreciate your patience and tolerance of these questions. Thanks again for the reply and the great dockers!

Hello, I am newer to Unraid but have things working well. I really appreciate all the hard work that went into these game docker containers. I was able to get my Ark Survival Ascended server working with no issues. However I having an issue with the Ark Survival Evolved docker. I believe I have everything configured correctly but the server never fully loads but is visible and you can join it but never successfully. The proper ports are open. I see this in the log and wonder if this is part of the issue: [S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed. Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 346110 I had a friend who installed this on his Unraid server last fall and it worked for him then. When he tried again recently he was having the same issue I am having. Any insight or help would be appreciated.
