Necesse

This guide covers the necserver module in AlphaGSM.

necserver is currently PASSED in the checked-in support tracker on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. 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

  • screen
  • SteamCMD runtime libraries (lib32gcc-s1, lib32stdc++6)
  • Python packages from requirements.txt

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm mynecserve create necserver

Run setup:

alphagsm mynecserve setup

Create its first world and start it:

alphagsm mynecserve start --autocreate

Check it:

alphagsm mynecserve status

Stop it:

alphagsm mynecserve stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

  • the game port (default 14159)
  • the install directory
  • SteamCMD downloads the server files

World Selection and Reset

start --autocreate creates the configured world only when it is missing. If the world already exists, the option does nothing and startup behaves like plain start. Use alphagsm mynecserve connect to answer the native console prompts.

To start over, stop the server and run alphagsm mynecserve reset-world. It lists the world data to delete and asks for confirmation; -Y bypasses that prompt. wipe is an alias for the same operation.

See world creation and reset for settings, supported paths, and the full lifecycle.

New installations use the install directory as datadir, persisted in Docker. For older installations, point datadir at the existing Necesse data directory before using --autocreate or reset-world; changing it does not move saves.

Useful Commands

alphagsm mynecserve update
alphagsm mynecserve backup
