Hello! How many space need this image?

Doesn't work so doesn't matter.

What's not working?

The size shouldn't be too bad as all the "big" stuff is mapped via the /ark volume: the Steam server tools and the game itself. Only the arkmanager package is stored locally. That said, the image could be far more compact, if it followed Docker's best practises for creating compact images and optimising layers and caches. E.g. instead of all the separate RUN statements, combine them into one with '' separators, thereby creating a single layer.

I'm not sure a gigantic monolithic system like Ark Survical lends itself to containers. If only it could be run as a cluster of many smaller ones. :(

The server tools on my EC2 spot come in at 11GB, the game itself with a moderate amount of mods at 21GB. At runtime, a single instance Valguero map will make the server gobble up 16GB RAM like nothing. Hardly in line with the Docker philosophy of swarms/clusters of small immutable containers. :(
