That appId is Windows only according to https://steamdb.info/app/2430930/info/

Edit: I installed it with steamcmd and it only seems to support Windows for now.

You can use your personal steam account on your server. But I tend to recommend having a separate account just for your server. I have had my personal account for over 10 years probably with £1000's worth of games that I dont want to risk putting on my server

Nitrado says, people with large communities can apply for a special license (I think you posted a screenshot of that yourself on dc). Don’t know if linuxgsm may be eligible for that…

Basically everything is like ASE, you only need to change the map name to "TheIsland_WP" and the server binary name ;)

I can confirm that despite being a Windows-only server, it DOES work with proton! (At least on Debian 12 and GE's Proton...)

ie: https://github.com/cdp1337/ARKSurvivalAscended-Linux/blob/main/server-install-debian12.sh

My install doesn't include any of the nicities of LGSM, but should serve as a basis for building an installer for your project.

The game server runs on UDP/7777 and RCON by default runs on TCP/27015. In my testing I've had difficulty getting the game port to actually change, don't know if it's hard coded or I just haven't found the right ini option...

If you've done sudo apt install net-tools, you should have netstat available to check ports.

sudo netstat -natvp -- show TCP ports and the processes listening.

sudo netstat -nauvp -- show UDP ports and the processes listening.

I'm taking that script and attempting to dockerize it in Alpine linux... Fun times over here. I know this isn't really relevant to the purpose of this thread, but wanted to drop some info from my journey.

Everything seems to go well until I actually execute proton. I'm doing everything as root (rather than creating a steam user). I'm getting this lovely file not found error:

I can confirm that this file does exist and has contents:

I can also verify that python3 can actually see this file at that path as well:

cca4535bc140:~/Steam/steamapps/common/ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server/ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64# python3
Python 3.11.6 (main, Oct  4 2023, 06:22:18) [GCC 12.2.1 20220924] on linux

>>> os.listdir("/root/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton8-22/files/bin")
['wineserver', 'wine-preloader', 'cabextract', 'wine64-preloader', 'msidb', 'wine64', 'wine']

This is leading me to believe that the virtual environment proton executes in doesn't have the path I've got it installed to mounted. I found a few references stating you could use env vars to specify extra directories to be mounted, but that didn't pan out either.

If everyone is getting it working on Debian, I guess I can try it again going down that path haha

I can confirm that despite being a Windows-only server, it DOES work with proton! (At least on Debian 12 and GE's Proton...)

ie: https://github.com/cdp1337/ARKSurvivalAscended-Linux/blob/main/server-install-debian12.sh

My install doesn't include any of the nicities of LGSM, but should serve as a basis for building an installer for your project.

I got it to launch the server but when I try to join the server it says "Joining failed Connection timeout" There were a couple errors when launching it but if there was a problem the server shouldnt have started up right?

You only need a single port for the server to show up. It's port 7777/udp by default.

@mrk3767 I have a working container if you want to reuse some parts (see https://github.com/azixus/ARK_Ascended_Docker)

😍 This is exactly what I was going for! I was trying with Alpine and running down a rabbit hole. Thank you!

I cant see my server in steam servers too your server will use default ports 7777 but u cant find in in steam
Just name your server in the GuS.ini and then search the name in unofficial server thats what me helped atleast getting in running and steam still doesnt show me my server

how many times u tried joining your server? when i download mods from my server or have a bit to much and it takes him a bit time to load them i get this error sometimes too sometimes even 2-3 times in a row but then it works i hope that will help you

@dgibbs64 Sorry for the bad pull request, I meant to make it in my own mirror.

I understand the desire for linux binaries, but I was wondering if launching it with wine/proton would work within the LGSM framework? I've had great success running the windows binary with proton, but it would be great to have all the niceties of LGSM.

This is very likely due to how host files/folders get mounted into
wine/proton. It's a very finicky installation to get working right... I've
been using this image which has got proton installed and functioning
