ARK

A Docker image for running an ARK: Survival Evolved dedicated linux server using ark-server-tools. This image has a focus on being run in a Kubernetes cluster, but was inspired by NightDragon1/Ark-docker. If you're just looking to run a Docker-based ARK server container, you should probably use that project instead.

Fresh builds every 24-hours!

What's unique about this project?

• Based on nhalase/steamcmd, which is in turn based on an ubuntu:latest image (Ubuntu tags latest to mean latest LTS release)
  • steamcmd is installed manually (but following standard conventions), and not via package manager
  • su-exec is installed
• Time zone can be configured using the TZ environment variable by any unprivileged user
• main.cfg is completely empty because the intention is for main.cfg to be mounted as a ConfigMap/Secret via Kubernetes
  • It's still included here for easy Docker-only testing purposes
• CMDs passed to this Docker image via docker run will be passed along to arkmanager start
• crontab location is defined by the ARK_CRONTAB environment variable (make sure it's executable by your UID/GID user)
