Acserver Manager is designed to be the only solution you will need to manage a dedicated server for Assetto Corsa.

It aims to provide elegant interfaces and automation for:

• Uploading third-party cars and tracks ✔ demo
• Uploading custom skins
• Editing driver_list.ini file
• Managing 3rd-party apps such as stracker
• Starting and Stopping the server
• Running multiple race servers

As well as to add new features entirely:

• Rotate server setup on race end
• Automated driverlists
• Series presets
• Car list presets
• Race-specific content bundles
• ... and more!

The app is designed to run on incredibly affordable ($5/mo) Digital Ocean boxes, and launched from a pre-built image. This will also grant users the ability to launch a dedicated server worldwide, minimizing ping. It is possible to install and run this app locally on your home computer.

Disclaimer

This app is very much in a development state at the moment, but please feel free to try it out, make some pull requests and contribute to the code!

Happy hacking!

Installation

Though Acserver Manager will be bundled inside of a VM image for easy installation, in the meantime, you'll need to run it in a standolone environment.

As this is being developed for deployment to a 32-bit Ubuntu 15 installation, I recommend you do the same, either with Digital Ocean, or a local environment. However, if you have your own Linux installation and are comfortable with some googling when things go wrong, the installation procedure should be pretty similar.
