This guide covers the abfserver module in AlphaGSM.

abfserver is currently DISABLED in the checked-in support tracker. The dedicated-server tool is Windows-only, so AlphaGSM now stages its Windows payload with SteamCMD's forced-platform option and uses the shared Wine/Proton runtime on Linux. The end-to-end Docker lifecycle still needs fresh GitHub CI validation before this module can be enabled.
