LinuxGSM
CLI for deploying and managing Linux dedicated game servers
LinuxGSM is a command-line tool for quick deployment and ongoing management of Linux dedicated game servers. It streamlines installation, configuration, updates, monitoring, and day-to-day operations across a large catalog of supported games.
Key Features
- Supports 100+ dedicated game servers with a consistent CLI workflow
- Automated installer that checks dependencies, downloads server files, and applies default configuration
- Update management for both LinuxGSM and game servers (including SteamCMD-based updates)
- Monitoring to detect crashes or unresponsive servers and automatically restart when needed
- Alerting/notifications for events like crashes and updates (multiple integrations supported)
- Basic backup creation as archives for safer maintenance and changes
- Console management via tmux for running servers in the background and attaching to live output
- Debug mode to run servers directly in the terminal for easier troubleshooting
Use Cases
- Hosting and maintaining community multiplayer game servers on Linux
- Automating routine operations like updates and health checks via cron
- Standardizing server management across multiple games and instances
LinuxGSM is a practical choice for administrators who want repeatable, scriptable game server management with built-in monitoring, updating, and operational tooling.
