How to Set Up an ARK: Survival Evolved Server on Ubuntu OS

ARK: Survival Evolved is an adventure-action genre video game. It is my personal favorite and one of the most played games worldwide. You can play as a single-player or play with your friends on a server in multiplayer mode. There are a few ways to host a multiplayer server: buying a dedicated gaming server, using a third-party service, or creating your own on Alibaba Cloud!

As a gamer and developer, I prefer to have more flexibility when it comes to creating dedicated gaming servers.

Continuous Integration With Jenkins on Alibaba Cloud

In this tutorial, we'll show you how to set up, install, and run Jenkins, a continuous integration delivery environment, on an Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) Ubuntu instance.

What Is Jenkins?

Jenkins is a continuous integration build tool that builds and releases application code after any change is made to the code and pushed to the code base. Jenkins saves development time by running automated testing against the code at every change pushed to the repos. Nasty bugs are picked up immediately, and the whole team is aware of build failures as they happen.
