ARK: Survival Evolved - Docker Cluster

Docker build for managing an ARK: Survival Evolved server cluster.

This image uses Ark Server Tools to manage an ark server and is forked from boerngen-schmidt/Ark-docker.

If you use an old volume, get the new arkmanager.cfg in the template directory.

Don't forget to use docker pull r15ch13/arkcluster to get the latest version of the image

Features

• Easy install (no steamcmd / lib32... to install)
• Easy access to ark config file
• Mods handling (via Ark Server Tools)
• docker stop is a clean stop
• Auto upgrading of arkmanager
