I may have gotten a little carried away when deploying the new #Astraeos map on an ASA cluster this weekend...
https://github.com/cdp1337/ARKSurvivalAscended-Linux
Now installs a Python-based management script (full source available in scripts/) which uses Richard Neumann's RCON library to connect into the game to notify users of shutdown events and gracefully handles world saves.
Also allows server / game admins to manage game mods, server options / flags, RCON credentials, and some cluster-related settings.
In usual fashion too, for folks who prefer to manage the game server with native utilities; it still features native systemd integration.
Next items: check on support for previous-gen operating systems (deb 11, ubuntu 22), and investigate porting this type of functionality to Palworld and Project Zomboid.
