Problem Description

Issue

I currently have been able to locate the folder that is listed in the setup guide for creating a cluster however it is owned by Amp and I am unable, as well as slightly leary, to access it. I am uncertain how to gain access without impacting the current setup that I have gone through getting the game server up and running. I listed home/amp/arkcluster in the path and the unique id in the cluster id space however when I transfer servers there is not a user profile available to spawn on the server I am trying to transfer to. I feel as though I am stuck just shy of a few steps of completing this setup and this is where I need help. How can I gain permission to the home/ark folder in order to access the instances.json as listed in the guide? There are a couple other steps listed in the guide to which I am also uncertain as I am brand new to linux. So I recount, I can see all the servers I have created, I have the Transfer button when accessing a terminal in game I just need to complete the setup.

Reproduction Steps

  • created the map server
  • customized all the ports and granted all used ports in my router
  • configured all settings in the game and usersettings ini files
  • set the cluster id and am able to see and use the transfer button via the in-game terminal
  • new server map launches and forces me to create a new player rather than download an existing player profile
  • This is the bog point where I am stuck and don’t know how to proceed, even after multiple attempts to follow the provided guide that I used to get to this step.
