copied from the mod description:
Server admin can set up a webdis[webd.is] backend for cross-ark chat support by specifying the URL in settings. No configuration needed on backend side.
webdis is a HTTP wrapper for redis[redis.io], so if setting it up yourself redis must also be installed.
There are docker and other conainers available that is more or less click and play.

Basicly you set up a redis+webdis server.
I set up a lxc debian container and installed them manually, but on of the docker solutions will work just fine.

Since I do not use docker myself I have not checked which ones work and not.
If you know how to make docker containers there is info on how to do it yourself on https://github.com/nicolasff/webdis
If not there are ready made ones out there.

If you get stuck on anything, feel free to ask.

edit: looked a bit more, this is likely the best docker container: https://hub.docker.com/r/nicolas/webdis

"Basicly you set up a redis+webdis server."

Thats the point i would know

Do you host on Windows or Linux?
Have you any experience in setting up a docker instance or other virtual machines?
I don't have the time right now, but later I can try to write up a guide of sorts specific to using docker to set up a webdis backend for Chat Evolved as that is probably the easiest for the less experienced :)

Yeah,I know how to setup the stuff.

The only thing that are not specified was if the whole mod work without webdis or not.


But i think a guide for mod to setup is a good idea.

Mod works without, just not cross-ark ;)

which was actually specified in the description:
Server admin can set up a webdis backend for cross-ark chat support by specifying the URL in settings. No configuration needed on backend side.

I altered it to be more precise:
To enable cross-ark chat server admin can set up a webdis[webd.is] backend and specify the URL in settings. No configuration needed on backend side.

Oh heck yeah, a guide on getting a docker instance up would be amazing. I'm very green in this arena and actively learning on my own. Any documentation you can provide would be amazing, when you have the time! I run a fairly large Ark cluster (16 servers and counting) and my players are killing me to add some cross-chat that doesn't ♥♥♥♥. Obviously your mod fits the bill quite nicely, so I just need to overcome my technical ineptitude ;)

Will make sure to write up a guide when I get back from a trip I have to go on. So busy IRL lately :p

No rush at all my friend, IRL always comes first. I'm 'bout to buy a house, so my cluster gets to weep while I pack up shop!
