Linux and Docker quickstart

Authentication is required before installation; follow the game guide for credentials, ownership and login prerequisites.

Docker

Complete interactive setup and review game-specific configuration before starting the server. Authentication is required before installation; follow the game guide for credentials, ownership and login prerequisites.

Start the Docker manager ./alphagsm-docker start
Create the game instance ./alphagsm-docker my-tiserver create tiserver
Complete interactive setup ./alphagsm-docker my-tiserver setup
Start the game server ./alphagsm-docker my-tiserver start
Check the instance status ./alphagsm-docker my-tiserver status

./alphagsm-docker start
./alphagsm-docker my-tiserver create tiserver
./alphagsm-docker my-tiserver setup
./alphagsm-docker my-tiserver start
./alphagsm-docker my-tiserver status

Host process

Create the game instance ./alphagsm my-tiserver create tiserver
Complete interactive setup ./alphagsm my-tiserver setup
Check the host prerequisites ./alphagsm my-tiserver doctor
Start the game server ./alphagsm my-tiserver start
Check the instance status ./alphagsm my-tiserver status

./alphagsm my-tiserver create tiserver
./alphagsm my-tiserver setup
./alphagsm my-tiserver doctor
./alphagsm my-tiserver start
./alphagsm my-tiserver status

This guide covers the tiserver module in AlphaGSM.

Support Status

tiserver is supported in ENABLED (AUTH) mode.

AlphaGSM can:

install the native Linux dedicated-server payload anonymously from SteamCMD app 412680
manage the server lifecycle through AlphaGSM
run the server on the shared steamcmd-linux Docker runtime

The remaining operator-provided prerequisite is Epic Online Services dedicated-server authentication:

eos_client_id
eos_client_secret

Without those credentials the server exits during EOS platform startup with Unable to initialize EOS platform.

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm mytiserver create tiserver

Run setup:

alphagsm mytiserver setup

Set the required EOS credentials:

alphagsm mytiserver set eos_client_id YOUR_EOS_DEDICATED_SERVER_CLIENT_ID
alphagsm mytiserver set eos_client_secret YOUR_EOS_DEDICATED_SERVER_CLIENT_SECRET

Start it:

alphagsm mytiserver start

Check it:

alphagsm mytiserver status

Stop it:

alphagsm mytiserver stop

Requirements

Docker for the supported Linux runtime path
SteamCMD
Epic Online Services dedicated-server credentials for The Isle EVRIMA

Setup Details

Setup configures:

the game port
the query port
the install directory
the native Linux dedicated-server payload from Steam app 412680

EOS Credentials

The Isle EVRIMA dedicated server now installs anonymously on Linux, but it will not finish booting until you provide valid EOS dedicated-server credentials.

AlphaGSM expects them as datastore keys:

eos_client_id
eos_client_secret

The official guide also supports file-based configuration in:

TheIsle/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Engine.ini

but AlphaGSM's supported operator flow is to store the values with set and let the module pass them on startup.

Useful Commands

alphagsm mytiserver update
alphagsm mytiserver backup
alphagsm mytiserver dump

Notes

Module name: tiserver
Steam App ID: 412680
Default game port: 7777
Default query port: 7778
Default executable: TheIsleServer.sh

Server variables

After create tiserver, 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.
`eos_client_id`	—	string	Epic Online Services dedicated server client ID. Stored as a secret.
`eos_client_secret`	—	string	Epic Online Services dedicated server client secret. Stored as a secret.
`exe_name`	—	string	Server executable filename.
`map`	gamemap, startmap, level, worldname	string	The startup map.
`port`	gameport	integer	The game port for the server. Example: `7777`.
`queryport`	—	integer	The query port for the server. Example: `27015`.

Developer Notes

Run File

Executable: TheIsleServer.sh
Binary: TheIsle/Binaries/Linux/TheIsleServer-Linux-Shipping
Location: <install_dir>/TheIsleServer.sh
Engine: Unreal Engine native Linux dedicated server
SteamCMD App ID: 412680

Runtime Notes

The validated install layout is a real native Linux server payload, not a missing-binary app stub.
The Linux container path must run as a non-root user; the dedicated binary refuses to run as root.
EOS authentication is the remaining prerequisite for a full green integration path.
