This guide covers the veinserver module in AlphaGSM.

veinserver 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) for host-process installs
Python packages from requirements.txt
Docker is the preferred Linux validation path and uses the shared steamcmd-linux runtime image

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm myveinserv create veinserver

Run setup:

alphagsm myveinserv setup

Start it:

alphagsm myveinserv start

Check it:

alphagsm myveinserv status

Stop it:

alphagsm myveinserv stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

the game port (default 7777)
the query port (default 27015)
the install directory
SteamCMD downloads the server files

On Linux, the validated support path is the native dedicated server inside AlphaGSM's shared steamcmd-linux Docker runtime. Fresh support validation proves:

anonymous SteamCMD install for app 2131400
runtime launch through VeinServer.sh
non-root container execution with the Steam bootstrap mounted into ~/.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so
query, info, and info --json on generic tcp at the managed main game port

Useful Commands

alphagsm myveinserv update
alphagsm myveinserv backup

Notes

Module name: veinserver
Default port: 27015

Server variables

After create veinserver, 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.
`port`	gameport	integer	The game port for the server. Example: `7777`.
`queryport`	—	integer	The query port for the server. Example: `27015`.
