This guide covers the brickadiaserver module in AlphaGSM.

Status

brickadiaserver is currently ENABLED (AUTH) on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline.

Before setup, authenticate Steam or SteamCMD with an account entitled to Brickadia dedicated server app 3017590. The current GitHub integration lane still validates both process and Docker runtime selection around that auth-gated prerequisite, while local runs remain process-backed by default unless you opt into the Docker backend.
