Aloft

This guide covers the aloftserver module in AlphaGSM.

aloftserver is currently ENABLED (BYO) on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. The current GitHub integration lane still exercises both process and Docker runtime selection around that owned-server-tree prerequisite, while local runs remain process-backed by default unless you opt into the Docker backend.

Requirements

  • screen
  • an owned Aloft dedicated-server tree
  • Python packages from requirements.txt

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm myaloftser create aloftserver

Run setup:

alphagsm myaloftser setup

aloftserver is supported in ENABLED (BYO) mode. Before setup or start, copy an owned Aloft server tree into your chosen <install_dir>/ so <install_dir>/AloftServerNoGuiLoad.ps1 exists.

Start it:

alphagsm myaloftser start

Check it:

alphagsm myaloftser status

Stop it:

alphagsm myaloftser stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

  • the game port (default 0 unless you set one explicitly)
  • the install directory

Suggested flow:

alphagsm myaloftser create aloftserver
alphagsm myaloftser setup -n 27015 /path/to/aloftserver
# copy the owned Aloft server files into /path/to/aloftserver/
alphagsm myaloftser start

Useful Commands

alphagsm myaloftser update
alphagsm myaloftser backup

Notes

  • Module name: aloftserver
  • Default port: 0 unless explicitly set during setup

Server variables

After create aloftserver, 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.

Developer Notes

Run File

  • Executable: AloftServerNoGuiLoad.ps1
  • Location: <install_dir>/AloftServerNoGuiLoad.ps1
  • Engine: Custom

Server Configuration

BYO file helper

Inspect this game's required files, source instructions and destinations with alphagsm <server-name> assets requirements; check the declared files with alphagsm <server-name> assets check. File checks do not establish game readiness. This helper checks known sentinels only and directs you to stage the complete compatible distribution manually; managed import is unavailable for this recipe. See BYO files and private SteamCMD acquisition.
