Hey there I think having an ASA dedicated manager app would be phenomenal. I don’t believe its been made to a docker version but I could be wrong. I am pretty new to the game with Linux but this is something I know is used very heavily within the windows server world. Here is a link. Thanks!!!
Thanks for the suggestion. I did a quick look, and I don’t see there is a Docker image?
Thats probably correct. Right now everyone is running everything through terminal commands, was hoping someone here had the knowledge to push it along into a docker image.
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share the Ark Ascended Server Manager I’ve been building. It’s 100% free and designed to make running ASA servers as easy as possible, whether you’re hosting from home or spinning up multiple dedicated instances.
