This guide covers the mordserver module in AlphaGSM.

mordserver is currently PASSED on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. The GitHub integration lane exercises process and Docker runtimes. Validation of the Docker host-user change is pending CI; local runs use the process runtime unless you select Docker.

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.
