./alphagsm-docker my-blackwakeserver setup
./alphagsm-docker my-blackwakeserver start
./alphagsm-docker my-blackwakeserver status

Host process

Complete interactive setup and review game-specific configuration before starting the server. Review the game guide for installation, account, licensing and runtime prerequisites before setup.

Create the game instance ./alphagsm my-blackwakeserver create blackwakeserver
Complete interactive setup ./alphagsm my-blackwakeserver setup
Check the host prerequisites ./alphagsm my-blackwakeserver doctor
Start the game server ./alphagsm my-blackwakeserver start

This guide covers the blackwakeserver module in AlphaGSM.

blackwakeserver is currently PASSED on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. GitHub keeps the proven shared wine-proton Docker lifecycle; the game module exposes the same managed health contract without branching on the selected runtime.

Requirements

Docker for the validated Linux runtime path
SteamCMD runtime libraries (lib32gcc-s1, lib32stdc++6)
Python packages from requirements.txt
For local non-Docker launches on Linux: Wine plus xvfb-run

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm myblackwak create blackwakeserver

Run setup:

alphagsm myblackwak setup

Start it:

alphagsm myblackwak start

Check it:

alphagsm myblackwak status

Stop it:

alphagsm myblackwak stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

the game port (default 7777)
the Steam query port (default 27015)
the install directory
SteamCMD downloads the server files

Useful Commands

alphagsm myblackwak update
alphagsm myblackwak backup

Notes

Module name: blackwakeserver
Default game port: 7777
Default query port: 27015
Current validation status: PASSED 2026-05-30 on the Docker-backed wine-proton runtime. query and info use the stable generic tcp health surface on the managed main port for every runtime instead of embedding process-versus-Docker behavior in the game module. The shared Docker host-resolution correction is pending replacement CI.

Server variables

After create blackwakeserver, inspect or change these with set:

alphagsm myserver set --list
alphagsm myserver set KEY --describe
alphagsm myserver set KEY VALUE

This module does not declare schema-backed keys. set --list after create is still the live source of truth.

Developer Notes

Run File

Executable: BlackwakeServer.exe
Location: <install_dir>/BlackwakeServer.exe
Engine: Custom (SteamCMD)
SteamCMD App ID: 423410

Server Configuration

Config file: See game module source
Max players: 54
Upstream flow: the bundled SERVER GUIDE.txt says the first BlackwakeServer.exe -batchmode -nographics launch generates Server.cfg and exits, and that alternate configs can be selected with -configFile <name>.
Managed defaults: AlphaGSM syncs serverName, port, sport, gamemode=7, and a default serverpassword into Server.cfg before launch. On the validated headless Linux path it also forces useBots=0, because the current dedicated runtime is stable when bot crews are not spawned automatically.
Template: See server-templates/blackwakeserver/ if available
