SteamCMD in Docker optimized for Unraid
This Docker will download and install SteamCMD. It will also install ARK:SurvivalAscended and run it (Normal server startup of ARK can take a long time!).
WARNING: You have to set the value vm.max_map_count to at least 256000 on the host as root with the command:
echo 265000 > /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count
To make that value persistent on Unraid please use a User Script that runs on startup or with the command from above or put it in your go file.
ATTENTION: First Startup can take very long since it downloads the gameserver files!
Update Notice: Simply restart the container if a newer version of the game is available.
You can also run multiple servers with only one SteamCMD directory!

This Docker was mainly edited for better use with Unraid, if you don't use Unraid you should definitely try it!
