This guide covers the craftopiaserver module in AlphaGSM.

craftopiaserver is currently listed as PASSED in the checked-in support tracker on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. The current GitHub integration lane still exercises both process and Docker runtime selection around this SteamCMD-backed lifecycle, but the checked-in integration test still carries an upstream install skip note and should be revalidated before treating that tracker row as freshly proven.

Requirements

  • screen
  • SteamCMD runtime libraries (lib32gcc-s1, lib32stdc++6)
  • Python packages from requirements.txt

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm mycraftopi create craftopiaserver

Run setup:

alphagsm mycraftopi setup

Start it:

alphagsm mycraftopi start

Check it:

alphagsm mycraftopi status

Stop it:

alphagsm mycraftopi stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

  • the game port (default 8787)
  • the install directory
  • a generated ServerSetting.ini with the selected world name, max player count, and save path
  • SteamCMD downloads the server files

Common set values:

alphagsm mycraftopi set map AlphaGSM World
alphagsm mycraftopi set serverpassword craft-secret
alphagsm mycraftopi set bindaddress 0.0.0.0

Useful Commands

alphagsm mycraftopi update
alphagsm mycraftopi backup

Notes

  • Module name: craftopiaserver
  • Default port: 8787
  • AlphaGSM seeds ServerSetting.ini because the Linux dedicated server reads its actual host settings from the ini file rather than the CLI flags
  • AlphaGSM query and info use generic UDP reachability on the main game port

Server variables

After create craftopiaserver, inspect or change these with set:

alphagsm myserver set --list
alphagsm myserver set KEY --describe
alphagsm myserver set KEY VALUE
Key Aliases Type What it does
bindaddress — string IP address the server binds to. Example: 0.0.0.0.
map worldname, gamemap, startmap, level string The selected Craftopia world name. Example: AlphaGSM World.
maxplayers users integer Maximum number of players allowed on the server. Example: 8.
port gameport integer The primary game port. Example: 8787.
serverpassword sv_password, password string Password required for joining the server. Stored as a secret.
