This guide covers the scumserver module in AlphaGSM.

Support Status

Status: PASSED
Validated on Linux through the shared Docker wine-proton runtime
Anonymous SteamCMD app id: 3792580

AlphaGSM now supports SCUM on Linux by installing the Windows dedicated payload through anonymous SteamCMD and running the real server binary under the shared Wine/Proton runtime. The validated AlphaGSM health surface on this lane is generic tcp on the managed main game port.

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm myscumserv create scumserver

Run setup:

alphagsm myscumserv setup

Start it:

alphagsm myscumserv start

Check it:

alphagsm myscumserv query
alphagsm myscumserv info --json
alphagsm myscumserv status

Stop it:

alphagsm myscumserv stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

the game port, default 7777
the raw UDP port, default port + 1
the query port, default port + 2
the install directory
anonymous SteamCMD download for app 3792580

On Linux, AlphaGSM uses the shared wine-proton Docker runtime for the supported path. GitHub CI runs one Docker-default heavy lifecycle rather than also forcing a host-process Wine lane that currently stays alive without opening the managed health port.

Runtime Contract

Executable: SCUM/Binaries/Win64/SCUMServer.exe
Working directory: <install_dir>
Primary config dir: <install_dir>/SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/
Primary log: <install_dir>/SCUM/Saved/Logs/SCUM.log
Query/info surface: generic tcp on the managed main game port

The validated launch contract is:

SCUM/Binaries/Win64/SCUMServer.exe -log -port=<port> -QueryPort=<queryport> -MaxPlayers=<maxplayers>

Useful Commands

alphagsm myscumserv set queryport 27020
alphagsm myscumserv set maxplayers 64
alphagsm myscumserv update
alphagsm myscumserv backup

Notes

Module name: scumserver
SteamCMD app id: 3792580
Supported Linux path: Docker wine-proton

Server variables

After create scumserver, 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.
`maxplayers`	users	integer	The maximum number of players. Example: `16`.
`port`	gameport	integer	The game port for the server. Example: `7777`.
`queryport`	—	integer	The query port for the server. Example: `27015`.
