I made an ASA Server Manager to make running multiple servers way easier
I’ve been working on a Windows management tool for ARK: Survival Ascended dedicated servers, and it’s finally at the point where I think it could be useful to other server owners.
The goal is simple: manage your ASA servers without constantly digging through folders, config files, SteamCMD, and server consoles.
🦖 What it can do
- 🚀 Start, stop, and restart servers from the UI
- ⚙️ Configure server settings without manually editing configuration files
- 🎮 Map selection and launch options
- 🔐 Server password & admin password management
- 👥 Player/whitelist management
- 🧩 Mod management
- 🌐 Crossplay and PvE/PvP configuration
- 🔗 Cluster support
- 💾 Persistent server configuration
- 📥 SteamCMD integration for installing/updating the server
- 🖥️ Live server console output
- 📊 Server status and process monitoring
- 🔄 Restart servers without manually reopening everything
- 📝 Built-in configuration/file editing tools
It’s especially useful if you're running multiple ASA servers, since each server can have its own configuration and management settings without having to constantly switch between folders and command prompts.
I'm also continuing to add quality-of-life features based on what server owners actually need.
The project is still being actively developed, so I'm interested in hearing what features people would want to see added.
If you run an ASA dedicated server, I'd love to know what parts of server management annoy you the most. Maybe I can add them to the manager.
