arkmanager.service missing #1259

Closed jordan-dalby closed 1 year ago

Reading up on a previous issue 899, the solution to start the ARK server on startup is to run the instance via systemctl, I have a problem though, there is no arkmanager.service.

I've tried adding my own .service: `[Unit] Description=ARK Server 29/08/2023 After=network.target StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Service] Type=simple Restart=always RestartSec=1 User=steam ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/arkmanager start --alwaysrestart

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target`

No luck. Service starts, fails after 10 seconds, and reboots. arkmanager and steamcmd CPU usage fluctuates from 40% each (1 core) down to 0% at each failure.

Any idea why, for one, I don't have an arkmanager.service, and two, my custom service doesn't work?

Found .service file in the repo that works, had to change /usr/bin to /usr/local/bin in my case: https://github.com/arkmanager/ark-server-tools/blob/master/tools/systemd/arkmanager%40.service
