This guide covers the sbotsserver module in AlphaGSM.

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.

Developer Notes

AlphaGSM installs the Linux dedicated payload through SteamCMD anonymous login.
The upstream install ships a launcher script at blank1Server.sh that wraps blank1/Binaries/Linux/blank1Server-Linux-Shipping.
Headless Linux starts currently print SteamAPI_Init() warnings, but the dedicated server still reaches a working A2S query state on queryport; AlphaGSM smoke and integration coverage should treat info --json protocol a2s as the readiness gate instead of waiting for a startup log.
