Try documenting what you have done to give others a clue where you are getting stuck. Images of your setup may help.

maybe this will help, i converted the docker run command to a compose file:

version: '3.3'
services:
  arkserver:
    image: thmhoag/arkserver
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /mnt/poolname/datasetname/steam:/home/steam/Steam #adjust storage paths to your needs
      - /mnt/poolname/datasetname/ark:/ark #adjust storage paths to your needs
    environment:
      SESSION_NAME: "MeinARKServer" #add env variables as needed
      SERVER_PASSWORD: "" #these are just set to give an example in the yaml
      SERVER_ADMIN_PASSWORD: "supersecret" #add or adjus env variables as needed
    ports:
      - "7777:7777"
      - "7778:7778"
      - "27015:27015"
      - "7777:7777/udp"
      - "7778:7778/udp"
      - "27015:27015/udp"

Probably a dumb question but how do I run it? In shell?

no go to apps page → discover apps → click on the three dots next to the custom app button and select install via yaml. paste the above yaml in, adjust your storage paths, add, remove or edit any additional env variables as the ones i chose were just put there as placeholders in case one wanted to add some, and if i did everything correct when converting the docker run command it should start up

Edit: just tried to install it in my lunchbreak and the app deployed fine for me
