Starten

The Island 

sudo systemctl start ark1

Maybe later more maps...

Stoppen

Backup gibt es automatisch nur alle 5 min also besser mit SaveWorld: 

EnableCheats <Password>
AdminCheat SaveWorld
AdminCheat DoExit

oder statt DoExit 

sudo systemctl stop ark1

Weitere Kommandos

http://ark.gamepedia.com/Console_Commands

Lokale Welt auf Server kopieren

lokale SavedLocalArcs nach SavedArks auf dem Server kopieren und lokales Profil einer Steam ID geben 

cp -av ~/Backup/Saved.windows/SavedArksLocal ShooterGame/Saved/SavedArks
cp ShooterGame/Saved/SavedArks/LocalPlayer.arkprofile ShooterGame/Saved/SavedArks/76561198229816152.arkprofile

Server im Router freigeben

das hat Juli 2023 funktioniert (verwendet Ports für bis zu drei Ark Servern):

caba1 (192.168.1.175, ::1ac1:e84:997c:7b97) 

Ark-UDP-3x-Game+Raw 7777 - 7782
Ark-UDP-3x-Query    27015 - 27017
Ark-TCP-3x-Query    27015 - 27017
Steam-UDP           27020 - 27050
Steam-TCP           27020 - 27050

folgende UDP Ports weiterleiten 

4242
7777-7778
26900-26905
27015-27020
27215

Server konfigurieren

Details https://ark.gamepedia.com/Dedicated_Server_Setup 

sudo vi /etc/sysctl.conf

fs.file-max=1000000

sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

sudo vi /etc/security/limits.conf

steam               soft    nofile          1000000
steam               hard    nofile          1000000

sudo vi /etc/pam.d/common-session

session required pam_limits.so

above is probably not necessary if using this service file /etc/systemd/system/ark1.service 

[Unit]

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

for other "official" maps like TheIsland, e.g. Fjordur, just replace the name in the ShooterGameServer command. See https://www.g-portal.com/de/blog/ark-alle-maps-%C3%BCbersicht for available maps

after creating/changing the file do a 

systemctl daemon-reload

to start the service 

systemctl start ark1

to start after every boot 

systemctl enable ark1

Updaten

den service restarten führt automatisch ein Update aus 

systemctl restart ark1
systemctl status ark1

wenn diese Fehlermeldung kommt: 

Error! App '376030' state is 0x206 after update job. :: ARK: Survival...

dann ist wahrscheinlich der Platz in /home/steam ausgegangen.

Konfiguration

siehe GameUserSettings.ini Referenz

im Verzeichnis, das man beim Installieren/Updaten angegeben hat (z.B. ~/servers/ark4walze1) in das Unterverzeichnis ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer wechseln. Dort gibt es die Datei GameUserSettings.ini. Diese enthält unter anderem diese wichtigen Einstellungen. Vor allem die letzten beiden muss man bei der Installation anpassen! 


ShowMapPlayerLocation=True
proximityChat=True
MaxStructuresInRange=1000
MaxPlayers=10
DifficultyOffset=0.2
SessionName=some-descriptive-name
ServerPassword=some-passsword
ServerAdminPassword=some-other-password

ein paar Einstellungen noch, die das Spiel leichter oder schwerer machen. Bei manchen haben schon winzige Änderungen einen großen Effekt: 

NightTimeSpeedScale=3.0
TamingSpeedMultiplier=3.5
HarvestAmountMultiplier=1.5
DifficultyOffset=0.2
XPMultiplier=2

Und noch ein paar Einstellungen in Game.ini 

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
MatingIntervalMultiplier=1.0
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=20.0
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=20.0

Neue Map

wenn es eine neue Map gibt, kann man sie als user steam so installieren (statt X eine Nummer): 

cp -a ~/servers/ark4walze1 ~/servers/ark4walzeX
cp ~/start-ark4walze1.sh ~/start-ark4walzeX.sh
cp ~/update-ark4walze1.sh ~/update-ark4walzeX.sh

Dann in den Skripten noch das servers Verzeichnis anpassen (1 -> X) und im start-ark4walzeX.sh den Map-Namen (TheIsland?listen -> Ragnarok?listen) oder die Map ID ersetzen

Backup wiederherstellen

wenn's mal nicht so gut läuft, und man deshalb einen älteren Stand wieder herstellen will: 

su - steam
killall ShooterGameServer
cd ~/servers/ark4walze3/ShooterGame/Saved/SavedArks
cp -av Ragnarok.ark Ragnarok_bad_luck.ark
cp -av Ragnarok_22.06.2017_18.28.22.ark Ragnarok.ark
~/start-ark4walze3.sh

die Backup Zeiten sind UTC nicht MEZ (also im Sommer um zwei Stunden verschoben, im Winter um eine)

Troubleshooting

First install (and a later one) with steamcmd had to be done with sudo or an error appears after 0% done

After first install, chown install directory from root to steam user and remove /tmp/dumps then it works fine without root privilege

History

The server did work. Then, after some time (and app/os updates) whithout playing, it no longer works. The server shows up on client list, but on connect attempt it always fails.

Traffic from/to ARK server and Steam client

log all TCP and UDP activities (listening or connected ports) of the server process user 10008

  echo "$out" | cat >/dev/shm/ss;

Dump all traffic to and from server during a "server start, client connect attempt" event

Server (192.168.1.4), client (192.168.1.8) and router (192.168.1.222) 

S='( ( src host 192.168.1.4 or src host 192.168.1.8 or src host 192.168.1.222 ) and ( dst host 192.168.1.222 or dst host 192.168.1.4 or dst host 192.168.1.8 or ! dst net 192.168.1.0/24 ) )'
D='( ( dst host 192.168.1.4 or dst host 192.168.1.8 or dst host 192.168.1.222 ) and ( src host 192.168.1.4 or src host 192.168.1.8 or src host 192.168.1.222 or ! src net 192.168.1.0/24 ) )'
tcpdump -qnti br0 "$S or $D" >/dev/shm/td

Dump all traffic during the same event on fritz box

The server was "exposed host" during that time and no firewall was active on the server

http://fritz.box/html/capture.html

Generate capture file for lan in wireshark format: iad-if-eth0_11.03.18_1351.bin

Analyze

All files on server in /root/ark-trace

Install and use generic steamcmd

Just in case opensuse does not provide a working steamcmd, this worked July 2023:

  • Removing steam related user config files
rm -rf ~steam/.local/share/steam* ~steam/.steam*
  • Deinstalling steamcmd and other steam related tumbleweed packages
(1/7) Removing ca-certificates-steamtricks-1-1.16.noarch ...[done]
(2/7) Removing steam-1.0.0.78-1.2.x86_64 ...[done]
(3/7) Removing steam-devices-1.0.0.78-1.2.x86_64 ...[done]
(4/7) Removing steamtricks-data-20180128.f77bb8e-1.15.noarch ...[done]

(7/7) Removing steamtricks-0.3.1-2.3.noarch ...[done]

sudo zypper rm steamcmd
rm -rf ~/Steam
mkdir ~/Steam
cd ~/Steam
curl -sqL "https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz" | tar zxvf -
./steamcmd.sh

As it probably provides fixes faster I'll keep that for now...
