This guide covers the exfilserver module in AlphaGSM.

exfilserver is currently PASSED on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. The GitHub integration lane exercises process and Docker runtimes. Docker runs the server as the invoking host user because the executable rejects root.

Requirements

For Docker, run AlphaGSM as a normal user with Docker access. The server rejects root; its container uses your user and group IDs and a private writable home directory.

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