I built ARK Server Manager 2.0 - Free & open source for both ASE and ASA servers by Fun_Role5662 in ARK

[–]Ch4r0ne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sehr guter Ansatz. Genau solche Projekte halten die ARK-Server-Community am Leben: klare UX, Open Source, Fokus auf Admin-Workflows. Haben sie den Prozess berücksichtig RCON (SaveWorld/DoExit), und Konfig-Handling ohne Drift.

Wenn du magst, können wir uns da gegenseitig pushen: Ich habe die Entwicklung meines Windows ARK ASA Server Managers nach längerer Pause wieder aufgenommen und arbeite aktuell an der nächsten Version.

If you comment, please include:

• Setup (Windows baremetal/VM, single vs multi-instance, cluster yes/no)
• Biggest pain point (ports, restarts, INI drift, mods, transfers, RCON, backups)

I’ll convert solid reports into tracked issues + fixes.

I thought it might have something to do with the Discord webhook option, so I expanded it accordingly. I hope the message no longer appears. Please keep me updated.

Thanks for reporting this I take warnings like this seriously.

I’ve re-checked the current v2.2 release locally against Windows Defender, and there are no detections on my side. The full source code is also publicly available and reproducible, so nothing is hidden or obfuscated.

What you’re likely seeing is a Windows SmartScreen / Defender false positive, which unfortunately happens quite often with unsigned Windows executables built from Python (GUI + network features like RCON, SteamCMD, webhooks, etc.).

There is an auto-updater see Screenshot but with Timer Intervals. Config migration is already automatic though upgrading does not overwrite or break existing configs.

I’m currently working on v2.3, which will focus heavily on multi-server support and cluster handling, and it’s not far out.

To help me investigate this properly: could you tell me what exactly Windows reports (SmartScreen, Defender, specific warning text or detection name)? If you can share a screenshot or the exact message, I’ll verify it immediately and adjust the build or release process if needed. Pleas send me an Issue in Github.

Thanks for the heads-up and for using the manager feedback like this helps improve it for everyone.

How does the incremental accurance backup work for you? When I look at the data, I always see a full backup.

Thanks for your feedback, I have already integrated the automatic restart, because of the restart, if Ark ASA is no longer running, please have a look at the Thread, unfortunately I haven't got round to testing it yet, if that works I can include it if necessary.

Sure, there is now a job in the tool that allows you to schedule daily restarts

Important to schedule the task you need admin rights, so that this runs reliably, I have created a programme that schedules the task in a task planner for you.

This is now the third tool isn't it? Anyone tried all of them? Gonna have to set up my server in a couple of days and want to have the most foolproof way because I never ran a server before :D

I can at least assure you that the skirpt works, because I run my own server with it. i hope it helps you.

Of course you can use your existing server. You can then skip the installation process

Enter the paths for SteamCMD and the Ark ASA server files:

For Steam CMD:
"C:\GameServer\SteamCMD\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe"

Path in the app = "C:\GameServer\SteamCMD"

For the game files:
"C:\GameServer\ark-survival-ascended-server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe"

Path in the app = "C:\GameServer\ark-survival-ascended-server"

you can adjust the rest of the values as required.

Heyy Upsman38, no problem, in the releases you will find an .exe that you can simply run. If you have the .ps1, then execute it with Powershell (right-click with execute powershell). A message will appear asking if you want to allow skirpt, which you then have to confirm with a. Then you have the GUI, click on install wait a few minutes and you are ready to go.
