The directory permissions should be ok, UID/GID fits.
But the update/download of ASA dont work (directorys stays clean after starts)

Acekorneya commented

are you running this under a root user?? the reason im asking is because it seems like your having permissions issues that wont let wine start up

cutec-chris commented

i run this in docker and docker daemon runs always as root, am i wrong ?
90% of the messages are from wine or not ?

cutec-chris commented

ive tried the same now without mounted volumes, with same result so cant be volume permission issue

Acekorneya commented

can you maybe post your docker-compose.yaml file and can you also try it again but make sure to get the latest docker image by doing docker pull acekorneya/asa_server:latest and then doing sudo docker compose up

another thing you can try is sudo chown -R 1001:1001 /home/factorioserver/ASA_Test/ just chang the 1001:1001 to your user PUID and GUID and change the folder to your path where you have the docker compose.yaml file maybe that would help

can you post an working log ?
do you see also the kernel32 message ?
i dont understand it, wine64 on an 64bit system shouldnt output it or not ?

are you running this in like VM proxmox or something similart btw The default CPU type (kvm64) in proxmox for linux VMs does not seem to implement all features needed to run the server. in that case just change your CPU type to host in the hardware settings of your VM.

Its an vServer on an Hoster so i have no chance to set an hardware Type. But ive tried directly on my Gaming Computer in Docker for Windows too, and there it was same.

And what makes me thinking is that i have used Evolve Server on the same mashine before without an issue, technically that should be identically or not ?

I see well I working a another version that hopefully will fix the permissions issues

itsjjrodedition commented

having same issue

cutec-chris commented

ive dont notice, that i was on docker 18.xx after updating the whole system and docker to 20.xx it works

Here is my new version of the script still testing it but should work and it has way more commands and can handle cluster set up for you etc.. and improver the documentation within the script to help users here are the steps if you want to use it

1. Create or Modify User for Container

  • For a new user named pokuser:
sudo useradd -u 1000 -g 1000 -m -s /bin/bash pokuser
  • To modify an existing user:
sudo usermod -u 1000 <existing_username>
sudo groupmod -g 1000 <existing_username>

2. Configure System Settings

  • Set vm.max_map_count temporarily:
sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
  • For permanent setup, add vm.max_map_count=262144 to /etc/sysctl.conf, save, and apply changes:
sudo sysctl -p

3. Adjust Permissions (Optional)

  • Adjust folder permissions if not using a separate user:
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /path/to/your/instance/folder

4. Download & Setup

  • Simplified download and setup command:
git clone -b beta --single-branch https://github.com/Acekorneya/Ark-Survival-Ascended-Server.git && sudo chown -R 1000:1000 Ark-Survival-Ascended-Server && sudo mv Ark-Survival-Ascended-Server/POK-manager.sh . && sudo chmod +x POK-manager.sh && sudo mv Ark-Survival-Ascended-Server/defaults . && sudo rm -rf Ark-Survival-Ascended-Server

This command accomplishes several tasks efficiently:

  • Clones the beta version of the ARK Survival Ascended Server.
  • Changes the ownership of the downloaded files to pokuser.
  • Moves the POK-manager.sh script to the current directory and makes it executable.
  • Moves the defaults directory to the current directory.
  • Cleans up by removing the cloned repository folder.

5. Run the POK-manager.sh Script

  • To set up and start your ARK server instance:
./POK-manager.sh -setup
./POK-manager.sh -create <instance_name>

6. View Server Status

  • To view the server status:
./POK-manager.sh -status -all

or for a specific instance:

./POK-manager.sh -status <instance_name>

All Available Commands

  • To explore all the script's capabilities:
./POK-manager.sh

Note: Use sudo with POK-manager.sh commands if you've set up folder permissions using it.

This guide is designed to streamline your setup process. Please report any feedback or issues you encounter to help us refine the beta script.

⚠ Important Notice: As this is a beta version, please proceed with caution. Though we've addressed many bugs, there may still be unforeseen issues.

⚡ Additional Note: The requirement for setting the PUID and PGID can be bypassed by prefixing commands with sudo. For example, you can use sudo ./POK-manager.sh for operations without needing to adjust the user's UID and GID. This is especially useful for quick tests or when you prefer not to modify user settings.
