Release Update:
- Added a Docker-based version of the script (
ark_docker_manager.sh) for containerized management of ARK server instances. Dependencies are now externalized via Docker containers, with server data stored in mounted volumes to enable seamless switching between scripts. - Updated both scripts to ensure compatibility with ARK's latest update utilizing Unreal Engine 5.5. GE-Proton has been upgraded to the latest version for optimal performance.
- Completely revised README with improved structure, clearer instructions, and added images for better usability.
- Fixed a bug in the Docker manager (
ark_docker_manager.sh) causing unexpected behavior. - Corrected several minor issues that previously led to script crashes or unexpected errors.
The usage of both scripts remains identical: commands, instance creation, backups, and restarts are interchangeable. For simplicity, the README primarily addresses ark_instance_manager.sh. Docker users should simply substitute ark_docker_manager.sh following the same instructions.
