This template makes it possible to run ARK: Survival Evolved with PufferPanel on Linux.

This will not be part of the default templates because it requires a lot of RAM (4GB at least) and requires that you run the following commands to increase the open files limit.

Prerequisites

  • Server requires a lot of RAM, you should have at least 4 GB free

  • Maybe you have to increase the open files limit on your linux system. As far as known, this is not necessary with Debian 9 (Stretch). You can increase the limits with these commands:

    (as root)

    echo "fs.file-max=100000" >> /etc/sysctl.conf && sysctl -p
    echo "* soft nofile 1000000" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
    echo "* hard nofile 1000000" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
    echo "session required pam_limits.so" >> /etc/pam.d/common-session
    
  • For more information about prerequisites for ARK server follow this link. https://ark.gamepedia.com/Dedicated_Server_Setup#Prerequisites_2

Current map values available are:

  • TheIsland
  • TheCenter
  • ScorchedEarth_P
  • Ragnarok
  • Aberration_P
  • Extinction
  • Crystalisles

Notes

  • If you want to use a whitelist you have to use the -exclusivejoin argument, you can set it on server creation or editing. After that you must set up a whitelist file in the file system manually. You can do this using SFTP.
    • Create the file in the directory ShooterGame/Binaries/Linux_OR_Win64/PlayersExclusiveJoinList.txt
    • Find the Steam64 ID of your friends and paste them, one per line.

This only supports Linux.
