This guide covers the vrserver module in AlphaGSM.

Support Status

Status: PASSED
Validated on Linux through the shared Docker wine-proton runtime
Anonymous SteamCMD app id: 1829350

AlphaGSM now supports V Rising 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 health surface is generic udp on the managed queryport.

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm myvrserver create vrserver

Run setup:

alphagsm myvrserver setup

Start it:

alphagsm myvrserver start

Check it:

alphagsm myvrserver query
alphagsm myvrserver info --json
alphagsm myvrserver status

Stop it:

alphagsm myvrserver stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

the game port, default 9876
the query port, default 9877
the install directory
anonymous SteamCMD download for app 1829350

On Linux, AlphaGSM uses the shared wine-proton Docker runtime for the supported path.

Runtime Contract

Executable: VRisingServer.exe
Working directory: <install_dir>
Persistent data path: <install_dir>/save-data
Managed host settings: <install_dir>/Settings/ServerHostSettings.json
Query/info surface: generic udp on queryport

Before start, AlphaGSM stages ServerHostSettings.json from the checked-in template and syncs:

servername
port
queryport
maxplayers

The validated launch contract is:

VRisingServer.exe -persistentDataPath <install_dir>/save-data -serverPort <port> -queryPort <queryport>

Useful Commands

alphagsm myvrserver set servername "My V Rising Server"
alphagsm myvrserver set maxplayers 50
alphagsm myvrserver set queryport 9878
alphagsm myvrserver update
alphagsm myvrserver backup

Notes

Module name: vrserver
SteamCMD app id: 1829350
Supported Linux path: Docker wine-proton

Server variables

After create vrserver, inspect or change these with set:

alphagsm myserver set --list
alphagsm myserver set KEY --describe
alphagsm myserver set KEY VALUE

This module does not declare schema-backed keys. set --list after create is still the live source of truth.
