I Built an Open-Source ARK ASA Server Manager (Desktop EXE Tool)

Managing ARK: Survival Ascended servers is painful — configs, mods, updates, restarts, backups, crashes…

So I built a modern desktop EXE server manager that makes everything simple.


⚙ What is ARK ASA Server Manager?

ARK ASA Server Manager is an open-source desktop automation tool that lets you:

  • Install & update ARK ASA servers
  • Manage INI & mod configs visually
  • Start / Stop / Restart servers in one click
  • Auto backup saves & settings
  • Download & manage CurseForge mods
  • Monitor logs & server performance
  • Avoid command-line headaches

Built with:

  • Tauri (Rust + React)
  • Ultra-lightweight & blazing fast

🎯 Why I Built This

Most ARK tools are outdated, slow, or complicated.

I wanted a modern, clean, fast and open-source solution anyone can use easily.


📦 Current & Upcoming Features

  • Visual Mod Manager
  • INI Config Editor
  • Auto Server Updates
  • Multi-Server Profiles
  • Scheduled Backups
  • Live Log Monitor
