I'm hearing rumors that due to an exclusive deal between Wildcard/Snail Games and Nitrado, that the only way to run a dedicated Ark: Survival Ascended server is by renting through Nitrado. I hope this is only for rented servers and we will still be able to host our own.

Ok, thanks. If anyone has any more info, I have most of the containers installed and running by following the pinned post, but think I have issues with the ARK0 one. I had to move some files manually into the /serverdata/serverfiles location since it was just coming up with errors. When I navigate to the dynamic config IP in a browser, it downloads the file instead of displaying it in a browser like the official site. I did have to change the port to 8086 due to other docker conflicts and changed the map dockers to ?customdynamicconfigurl="http://(server IP):8086/dynamicconfig.ini" to match.

With the recent announcement that the official Ark servers will be shutting down and the save files available for download, I'm considering changing my single server setup to a cluster. Are the files and info at https://github.com/CydFSA/A3C still the best way to set this up? If so, is there a beginner friendly walkthrough an installing this as the instructions on github aren't that clear to me and I don't want to flood this thread with beginner questions.

After a server reboot the docker service started with no issues. Parity check is still running but I'm not sure what the previous errors are pointing to.

My Cache drive had filled up so I manually invoked the Mover from the main page. Sometime during the move the dockers became unavailable and even now that the move is complete, the docker service is showing errors and can not start. I have tried stopping and starting the docker service from the settings page but I'm afraid to actually stop the server itself. The server log is filling up with errors like this: Jun 11 14:42:19 Tower kernel: BTRFS info (device loop2): no csum found for inode 3871 start 0 Jun 11 14:42:19 Tower kernel: BTRFS warning (device loop2): csum failed root 8166 ino 3871 off 0 csum 0x2cfa2d2f expected csum 0x00000000 mirror 1 Jun 11 14:42:19 Tower kernel: BTRFS error (device loop2): bdev /dev/loop2 errs: wr 0, rd 0, flush 0, corrupt 190029, gen 0 Jun 11 14:42:20 Tower kernel: BTRFS error (device loop2): parent transid verify failed on 32727040000 wanted 809781 found 807749 Jun 11 14:42:20 Tower kernel: BTRFS error (device loop2): parent transid verify failed on 32727040000 wanted 809781 found 807749 Jun 11 14:42:20 Tower kernel: BTRFS info (device loop2): no csum found for inode 1066 start 0 Jun 11 14:42:20 Tower kernel: BTRFS warning (device loop2): csum failed root 8081 ino 1066 off 0 csum 0x0f8afbf7 expected csum 0x00000000 mirror 1 Jun 11 14:42:20 Tower kernel: BTRFS error (device loop2): bdev /dev/loop2 errs: wr 0, rd 0, flush 0, corrupt 190030, gen 0 Jun 11 14:42:29 Tower kernel: BTRFS error (device loop2): parent transid verify failed on 32726908928 wanted 809781 found 807749 Jun 11 14:42:29 Tower kernel: BTRFS error (device loop2): parent transid verify failed on 32726908928 wanted 809781 found 807749 tower-diagnostics-20220611-1437.zip

Good call, I didn't even realize I had anything plugged in but that fixed the USB errors. New drive is in and rebuilding. Docker service started with the reboot so I stopped them all for now. I'll try the balance command once the array is back to normal. Thanks for the help!

Hiya folks. I've been having some issues lately so when I checked the log I'm seeing this error repeating constantly. Any clue as to what to do about this? If it's a hardware failure can I turn it off somehow? For some background, log had filled up so rebooted the machine to clear it. Replaced a drive that was starting to have errors and was the smallest one on the array. When the array was rebuilding another drive reported a lot more errors and was disabled overnight. Replacement drive should be here tomorrow. Cache drive had filled up but has returned to 75%. Dockers will not start but I though that might be due to the damaged drive in the array.

It would appear I broke my ZM install. It has been down for a while waiting for a new data drive. I replaced the drive, set the mount name in the docker to match but when I tried to start ZM it just crashes. It appears to be an issue with the database connection. Is there a way to repair this?

Yes, your docker image and the server have been running great with the Alemia sponsored map/mod. I still have to manually transfer the mod files over from single player to the server every time they update since I haven't figured out the automanagemods yet. I think there was a post in this thread about having certain paths mapped in order to make it work but now I can't find it again.

Thanks, I'll ignore it. Sorry about not including the whole log, I've attached it here just so you have the whole thing. Log.txt

I just noticed a new line in the log when I restarted my Ark server after the latest steam update. [33;1mPlease use force_install_dir before logon! Is this anything to be concerned with or anything I need to actually do when starting the server? Thanks

Sorry, missed this part. I do run Pi-hole but disabled it to restart the server. I don't know if it makes a difference or not but I am running a mod map (Alemia).

After a few more tries I was able to get it to verify but it is still showing on the server list at the old version and the version.txt file in the ark-se folder also lists the old version. Log - Verify.txt

I've set validate to True but it still didn't seem to update the base game. Are there some files I can remove to force it to reload without removing the entire container?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered a dozen time already but how do I update the version of Ark being run? I thought that a docker restart would do it automatically but the log (pasted below) says it's the latest version but the server list in game and on steam shows I'm not on the current version after Official servers were just updated to a new minor version. ---Checking if UID: 99 matches user--- usermod: no changes ---Checking if GID: 100 matches user--- ---Checking if UID: 99 matches user--- usermod: no changes ---Checking if GID: 100 matches user--- usermod: no changes ---Setting umask to 000--- ---Checking for optional scripts--- ---No optional script found, continuing--- ---Starting...--- ---Update SteamCMD--- Redirecting stderr to '/serverdata/Steam/logs/stderr.txt' [ 0%] Checking for available updates...
