This guide covers the sniperelite4server module in AlphaGSM.

sniperelite4server is currently PASSED on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. The current GitHub integration lane still exercises both process and Docker runtime selection, and the validated Linux lifecycle stays aligned across both backends while local runs remain process-backed by default unless you opt into the Docker backend.

Requirements

Docker for the validated Linux runtime path
SteamCMD runtime libraries (lib32gcc-s1, lib32stdc++6)
Python packages from requirements.txt
For local non-Docker launches on Linux: Wine or Proton plus xvfb-run

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm mysniperel create sniperelite4server

Run setup:

alphagsm mysniperel setup

Start it:

alphagsm mysniperel start

Check it:

alphagsm mysniperel status

Stop it:

alphagsm mysniperel stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

the game port (default 7777)
the authentication port (game port + 1)
the update port (game port + 2)
the lobby port (game port + 3)
the install directory
SteamCMD downloads the Windows dedicated server files

Useful Commands

alphagsm mysniperel update
alphagsm mysniperel backup

Notes

Module name: sniperelite4server
Default game port: 7777
Port layout: game UDP, auth UDP, update UDP, lobby TCP
query, info, and info --json use generic UDP health on the managed game port
Current validation status: historically PASSED on the Docker-backed wine-proton runtime; the corrected four-port/config contract is pending the replacement GitHub CI run

Server variables

After create sniperelite4server, 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.
`port`	gameport	integer	The game port for the server.

Developer Notes

Run File

Executable: bin/SniperElite4_Dedicated.exe
Location: <install_dir>/bin/SniperElite4_Dedicated.exe
Engine: Windows dedicated server via Wine/Proton
SteamCMD App ID: 568880

Server Configuration

Config file: See game module source
Max players: 12
Linux support note: the validated Linux path now runs through AlphaGSM's Docker-backed wine-proton runtime image rather than a host screen session. AlphaGSM stages default.cfg in the install root before launch, copying the shipped Docs/ExampleConfigs/Example1.cfg when available so the dedicated server no longer aborts immediately on default.cfg lookup. If no map rotation is present, AlphaGSM adds VILLAGE DM as the minimum startup map and preserves any operator-defined rotation entries.
Host process display: AlphaGSM explicitly enables Wine's X11 driver inside its 24-bit Xvfb display, including under inherited headless CI settings.
Managed directives: Server.Name, Server.GamePort, Server.AuthPort, Server.UpdatePort, Server.LobbyPort, Settings.MaxPlayers, and Server.Host
Template: See server-templates/sniperelite4server/ if available
