Copy the docker-compose.yml, or use the following configuration directly:

version: '3.8'

services:
  # ARK Server Management System (Frontend + Backend)
  ark-commander:
    image: tbro98/arkservercommander:latest
    container_name: ark-commander
    ports:
      # You can modify the port mapping
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      # Will be optimized later, keep default for now
      - JWT_SECRET=your-secret-key-here
      - DB_PATH=/data/ark_server.db
      - SERVER_PORT=8080
    volumes:
      # Database storage
      - ./data:/data
      # Docker socket (for managing Docker containers)
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    restart: unless-stopped
    # System requires privileged mode to operate host Docker
    privileged: true

sudo docker-compose up -d

A: Server data backup operations are not yet implemented. Server data is stored in Docker volumes ark-server-<server_number>, you can backup manually.

A: The server program currently cannot output logs directly in docker logs, you need to view the server log files, and we'll see how to optimize this later.
