This guide covers the icarusserver module in AlphaGSM.

icarusserver is currently PASSED on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. GitHub validation uses the supported Docker wine-proton runtime. On Linux/Wine, query and info use the validated generic TCP health surface on the managed game port.

Requirements

Docker
Python packages from requirements.txt

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm myicarusse create icarusserver

Run setup:

alphagsm myicarusse setup

Start it:

alphagsm myicarusse start

Check it:

alphagsm myicarusse status

Stop it:

alphagsm myicarusse stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

the game port (default 17778)
the install directory
SteamCMD downloads the server files

Useful Commands

alphagsm myicarusse update
alphagsm myicarusse backup

Notes

Module name: icarusserver
Default port: 17778
Query/info uses generic TCP on the managed game port under Linux/Wine.

Server variables

After create icarusserver, 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
`dir`	—	string	Install directory for the server.
`exe_name`	—	string	Server executable filename.
`port`	gameport	integer	The game port for the server. Example: `7777`.
`queryport`	—	integer	The query port for the server. Example: `27015`.
`servername`	hostname, name	string	The advertised server name. Example: `AlphaGSM Server`.
`worldname`	world, map, gamemap, levelname	string	The world name used by the server.

Developer Notes

Run File

Executable: IcarusServer.exe
Location: <install_dir>/IcarusServer.exe
Engine: Windows dedicated server via Wine/Proton
SteamCMD App ID: 2089300

The Linux Docker path uses the shared wine-proton runtime image and its Xvfb/software-GL support. Anonymous SteamCMD installs app 2089300. Current Linux/Wine launches open the game port but do not provide a stable A2S reply on the configured query port, so AlphaGSM reports the live TCP health surface.

Server Configuration

Config file: See game module source
Template: See server-templates/icarusserver/ if available
