Status: PASSED on 2026-05-29

Requirements

Docker recommended on Linux: branch-local or published alphagsm-wine-proton-runtime
Host/process fallback: screen plus a working Wine/Proton install
SteamCMD runtime libraries (lib32gcc-s1, lib32stdc++6)
Python packages from requirements.txt

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm mynotdserv create notdserver

Run setup:

alphagsm mynotdserv setup

Start it:

alphagsm mynotdserv start

Check it:

alphagsm mynotdserv status

Stop it:

alphagsm mynotdserv stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

the game port (default 7777)
the query port (default 27015)
the install directory
SteamCMD downloads the Windows dedicated-server files
AlphaGSM mirrors the root ServerSettings.ini into LF/Saved/Config/ServerSettings.ini before launch on Linux so the live runtime reads the managed settings

Useful Commands

alphagsm mynotdserv update
alphagsm mynotdserv backup

Notes

Module name: notdserver
Default port: 7777
Default query port: 27015
Current supported validation lane on Linux: Docker-backed wine-proton
On Linux Wine/Proton, query, info, and info --json use the validated TCP listener on the managed game port; native Windows keeps A2S on queryport.

Server variables

After create notdserver, 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`.
