Cloud Storage adds a new Dedicated Storage Variant, that allows you to sync your resources across bases and even servers.
Structures
Cloud Dedicated Storage:
- Same as normal Dedicated Storage
- Can store degradable resources
- Synced across all instances with the same resource type by the same placing player
Setup
Cloud Storage requires a backend API to save and sync resources across servers. The Public API works for all servers (Nitrado, Self Hosted, None Dedicated and even Singleplayer).
Option 1: Public API
Cloud Storage provides a free backend API. Recommended for small and medium clusters. For large server clusters, it is recommended that you use Option 2 instead.
- Go to https://arkcloudstorage.com/register and create a new cluster
- Copy the generated config and paste it into your GameUserSettings.ini
Option 2: Private API
Cloud Storage is fully open source and can be self hosted.
- Check out https://github.com/ark-cloud-storage/api on how to set up your own API instance
