Is there a way to host an ARK: Survival Evolved server on a Raspberry Pi? If so, how do I do it?

I want to make a whitelisted only ARK server for my friends and I who play on Xbox Ones. Is there a way to do that?

As Someone with the username “</TheCoder2019_”, my coding skills are atrocious.

Here are my specs:

Spoiler

 

MSI PRO-VLH H310M

Intel Core i3-8100 (Thanks, @Schnoz!)

GTX 1060 OC 3GB or Intel UHD 630

16GB (2x8) Cosair Vengeance LPX CL16 - 2400MHz

GAMDIAS Argus M1

 

An old friend of mine - Intel stock cooler (temps through the roof like 60 C under load)

 

 

Linux Apps you NEED!

Spoiler

tmux

dhcpd

git

Not efficiently, no.

 

Raspberry pi's don't have anywhere near close to the resources an Ark server would need

No. Ark is not well optimized (it's not optimized at all).

Besides being nowhere near the CPU resource requirement even on a RPi4 8GB, I think you'll find that ARK Survival Evolved Server won't even run on ARM
