This is the legacy CS:GO guide for counterstrikeglobaloffensive. Use counterstrike2 for the current CS2 dedicated-server flow.

counterstrikeglobaloffensive is currently DISABLED in the checked-in support tracker. On the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline, SteamCMD app 740 installs legacy CS:GO build 1575; the server reaches Steam, receives MasterRequestRestart, and shuts itself down while hibernating.

Requirements

screen
SteamCMD runtime libraries:
- lib32gcc-s1
- lib32stdc++6
Python dependencies from requirements.txt

Create and Set Up

alphagsm mycsgo create csgo
alphagsm mycsgo setup

The setup flow configures:

the game port
the install directory
the executable name
default configuration and backup settings

Common Commands

alphagsm mycsgo start
alphagsm mycsgo status
alphagsm mycsgo update
alphagsm mycsgo update -v -r
alphagsm mycsgo stop

Notes

Like TF2, CS:GO is managed through SteamCMD.
The module shares the same general Steam game lifecycle as TF2: setup, start, stop, status, update, and restart.
Backup support is configured during setup through the shared backup helpers in utils.backups.
This legacy module is disabled in automated testing.
