Stnserver

Survive the Nights

This guide covers the stnserver module in AlphaGSM.

stnserver 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 mystnserve create stnserver

Run setup:

alphagsm mystnserve setup

Start it:

alphagsm mystnserve start

Check it:

alphagsm mystnserve status

Stop it:

alphagsm mystnserve stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

• the game port (default 8888)
• a separate Steam query port (game port + 1 unless explicitly set)
• the install directory
• SteamCMD downloads the server files
• AlphaGSM copies missing files from the server's shipped Config_Template tree into Config and preserves files already edited by the operator

Useful Commands

alphagsm mystnserve update
alphagsm mystnserve backup
alphagsm mystnserve set port 9999

set port and set queryport rewrite Config/ServerConfig.txt immediately through the schema-backed config-sync path. The shared alias layer also accepts gameport for this module.

Notes

• Module name: stnserver
• Default port: 8888

Server variables

After create stnserver, 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
port	gameport	integer	The game port for the Survive the Nights server.
queryport	—	integer	The separate Steam query port for the Survive the Nights server.

Developer Notes

Run File

• Executable: Server_Linux_x64
• Location: <install_dir>/Server_Linux_x64
• Engine: Custom (SteamCMD)
• SteamCMD App ID: 1502300

Server Configuration

• Config file: Config/ServerConfig.txt
• Template: See server-templates/stnserver/ if available
• Schema-backed sync: AlphaGSM keeps ServerPort= aligned with set port and QueryPort= aligned with set queryport
• First setup: required files such as TpPresets.json, user permissions, and StreamLabs defaults are seeded from the installed server payload
