AlphaGSM

Alpha Game Server Manager — run dedicated servers from a terminal that stays readable under pressure.

Create, set up, start, check, update, and back up game servers on the host or in Docker. This wiki is published from the repository docs; the source of truth is SectorAlpha/AlphaGSM.

The everyday flow is always the same: Create → Setup → Launch → Verify.

Use the host when you need direct control. Use Docker when you want cleaner isolation.

  • Docker Manager — run AlphaGSM itself as a manager container
  • Docker Runtime Host — keep AlphaGSM on the host, launch games in Docker
  • alphagsm <name> doctor — check backend, image, and container state before start
