Server online: No

[Adurno]

Hi,

Since 311.74, arkmanager status return:

Server running:   Yes
 Server listening:   Yes
 Server online:   No

Do you know if the server need to open more ports or something else for communicate with Steam and Epic ?

I use docker, habitually turzam/ark (arkmanager 1.5) with ports 7778 and 27015.

I tried a fork with arkmanager 1.6, and got the same issue.

I also tried to install arkmanager with cm2network/steamcmd but after arkmanager install, arkmanager start return:

Running command 'start' for instance 'main'
[  WARN  ]      Your ARK server exec could not be found.

I changed 0 config after install.

And arkmanager run return:

Running command 'run' for instance 'main'
[  WARN  ]      Your ARK server exec could not be found.

Server online: No usually means that the server isn't able to communicate with the Steam master server. This is probably expected if you have -epiconly.

I also tried to install arkmanager with cm2network/steamcmd but after arkmanager install, arkmanager start return:

This looks like the default config. Please check your configs in both /etc/arkmanager and ~/.config/arkmanager

After run arkmanager install, the directory /home/steam/ARK is created, but i didn't have /home/steam/ARK/ShooterGame/Binaries. Only dir /home/steam/ARK/ShooterGame/Saved exist.

Nothing change in default config file /etc/arkmanager/arkmanager.cfg and /etc/arkmanager/instances/main.cfg

arkserverroot="/home/steam/ARK"
arkserverexec="ShooterGame/Binaries/Linux/ShooterGameServer"

How can i install the ShooterGameServer package with arkmanager ? Should i run steamcmd command instead ? steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir <install_dir> +app_update 376030 +quit

[Adurno]

Error! App '376030' state is 0x202 after update job.

OK not enought storage for dl full ARK server.

I'll working on and come back !

[Nereg]

Same problem. docker exec ark arkmanager status returns

Running command 'status' for instance 'main'
 Server running:   Yes
 Server listening:   Yes
Server Name: myserver - (v311.99)
Players: 0 / 70
 Server online:   No
 Server version:   5169549

I already reinstalled ark server and open all port on my VM so it is not a problem P.S I confirmed that I can connect to ports that ark uses with nc -v -u -z -w 3 <ip> <port>

[klightspeed]

@Nereg are you using -epiconly?

[Nereg]

No but I still can't connect to my server.

[klightspeed]

I'm wondering if with the introduction of crossplay the ARK servers are no longer registering with the Steam master server.

[Nereg]

Yeah that would be very bad.

[klightspeed]

I checked here and with both no crossplay option and with -crossplay, the server does register with the Steam master server, while with -epiconly it neither registers with the Steam master server nor opens the normal Steam ports.

Server online: No suggests that it isn't able to connect to the Steam master server, and as it isn't listed on the Steam master server it won't show up in the server list.

[Nereg]

But I can't connect directly with ip.

[Nereg]

I am using default server and arkmanager config

[Nereg]

Also server is listed in Steam. I verifyed it with http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/GetServersAtAddress/v0001?addr=**.**.**.** But I still can`t connect to my server

[Adurno]

I try with arkmanager 1.6.53 and.. it works !

Steps : Start with steamcmd container with root tag for install lib. I begin with this first script :

docker run -it \
-v /host/path/to/ark:/home/steam/ARK
cm2network/steamcmd:root

You need the volume for install ARK, otherwise it's fail with state 0x202 (not enougth storage)

Then install libs :

 apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    sudo \
    nano \
    perl-modules \
    curl \
    lsof \
    libc6-i386 \
    lib32gcc1 \
    bzip2

Add bash for steam: usermod --shell /bin/bash steam

Install arkmanager for steam: curl -sL http://git.io/vtf5N | sudo bash -s steam

Give ARK dir to steam: chown -R steam:steam /home/steam/ARK

Log with steam su steam

Install ARK with manager arkmanager install

Create ini file (generator here) create config dir: mkdir -p /home/steam/ARK/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/

and paste content here: nano /home/steam/ARK/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini

Now, you can run the server ! arkmanager start

And after few minutes...

Server running:   Yes
Server listening:   Yes
Server online:   Yes

But the container can't exit without stop the server.

[Adurno]

For launch detached container:

I create new Dockerfile

FROM cm2network/steamcmd:root

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    sudo \
    nano \
    perl-modules \
    curl \
    lsof \
    libc6-i386 \
    lib32gcc1 \
    bzip2

RUN usermod --shell /bin/bash steam

RUN curl -sL http://git.io/vtf5N | sudo bash -s steam

RUN mkdir -p /home/steam/ARK; \
    chown -R steam:steam /home/steam/ARK

USER steam

Then build in Dockerfile dir docker build -t arkmanager .

Create ARK dir and set owner to UID 1000 (steam in container arkmanager): mkdir -p /host/path/to/ark && chown 1000:1000 /host/path/to/ark

Install ARK with this first script (ad -it if you want saw %):

docker run --rm \
-v /host/path/to/ark:/home/steam/ARK \
arkmanager \
arkmanager install

After few minutes we got many dots. If not, it probably fail.

Check your ark folder: ls -l /host/path/to/ark

You should have ShooterGame folder now.

And you can launch ark with the script:

docker run -d \
-v /host/path/to/ark:/home/steam/ARK \
-p 7778:7778/udp \
-p 27015:27015/udp \
--name ark \
arkmanager \
bash -c "arkmanager start && sleep infinity"

[klightspeed]

You can use arkmanager run instead of arkmanager start && sleep infinity

arkmanager run will run the server without going into the background, while arkmanager start calls arkmanager run and then puts that into the background.

[Adurno]

Good idea ! In this case i can add auto restart with docker !

[Adurno]

And for change ARK config, enter in the container: docker exec -it ark bash

Copy main.cfg in user dir: cp /etc/arkmanager/instances/main.cfg /home/steam/.config/arkmanager/instances/main.cfg

Edit config (Map, Sevrer name, adminpass, crossplay) nano ~/.config/arkmanager/instances/main.cfg

And restart ! arkmanager restart

[klightspeed]

arkmanager run traps SIGINT (Ctrl+C) and SIGTERM, so as long as docker uses one of those signals to terminate the guest process it should shut down the server using SIGINT (Ctrl+C).
