LokiASAM v0.9.0
LokiASAM v0.9.0 — Public Beta
LokiASAM is a desktop application for managing Ark Survival Ascended dedicated servers on Linux and Windows. It provides a full GUI for every aspect of running one or more ASA servers without needing to touch config files or the command line.
Features
- Server management — create, start, stop, restart, and monitor multiple servers from a single dashboard. Live CPU/RAM stats and player counts update automatically.
- Server configuration — edit
GameUserSettings.iniandGame.inithrough an organized section editor, or drop into the raw text view for full control. - RCON console — built-in terminal with command history, preset commands, and broadcast support.
- Live log viewer — tail server logs in real time with text filtering and auto-scroll.
- Mods — browse CurseForge directly inside the app, add mods by ID, reorder, toggle, and install via SteamCMD with one click.
- Backups — create, restore, and delete server backups; configurable retention with scheduled automatic backups.
- Automation — schedule backups, updates, restarts, and broadcasts on a cron schedule with optional RCON warnings before restarts.
- Clusters — group servers into clusters with shared player data directories.
- Notifications — configurable desktop, Discord webhook, and email alerts for server started, stopped, crashed, and player join/leave events.
- ASA server updates — shared SteamCMD cache keeps downloads fast when managing multiple servers; update cache and apply to servers independently.
- Auto-update — the app checks for new LokiASAM releases and can download and install them without leaving the app.
- Setup wizard — guided first-run experience that installs SteamCMD and Proton (Linux) automatically.
Bug fixes since initial development
- AppImage: server start works correctly — the AppImage runtime was injecting its own Python environment into child processes, causing Proton to crash before Wine ran. The app now strips the AppImage environment before spawning server processes.
- Server stuck in "Starting" after app restart — servers left in Starting state from a previous session are now correctly reset to Stopped on launch.
- Start failure notifications include error output — the last lines of process output are now included in crash notifications so the cause is immediately visible.
Installation
Linux: Download the .AppImage from the assets below, make it executable, and run it.
chmod +x LokiASAM_0.9.0_amd64.AppImage

Notes
- This is a public beta — bugs are expected. Please report them on the Issues page.
- Linux requires a working Proton-GE installation for server processes. The setup wizard will guide you through this.
