This guide covers the rwserver module in AlphaGSM.

rwserver is currently PASSED in the checked-in support tracker on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. The validated Linux lane uses the shared steamcmd-linux Docker runtime, and the current GitHub integration lane validates both process and Docker runtimes for this module while local runs remain process-backed by default unless you opt into the Docker backend.

Requirements

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

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm myrwserver create rwserver

Run setup:

alphagsm myrwserver setup

Start it:

alphagsm myrwserver start

Check it:

alphagsm myrwserver status

Stop it:

alphagsm myrwserver stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

the game port (default 4255)
the install directory
SteamCMD downloads the native Linux dedicated server files anonymously

Useful Commands

alphagsm myrwserver update
alphagsm myrwserver backup

Notes

Module name: rwserver
Default game port: 4255
Query/info TCP port: server port - 1 (default 4254)
AlphaGSM support status: PASSED on the native Linux branch

Server variables

After create rwserver, inspect or change these with set:

alphagsm myserver set --list
alphagsm myserver set KEY --describe
alphagsm myserver set KEY VALUE

This module does not declare schema-backed keys. set --list after create is still the live source of truth.
