LinuxGSM

LinuxGSM is a command-line management suite for installing and operating dedicated game servers on Linux. It provides per-game server scripts that automate common lifecycle tasks—setup, updates, configuration, and day-2 operations—so administrators can run multiple servers more reliably.

Key Features:

• One-command install workflow for many dedicated game servers via per-game scripts
• Server lifecycle commands: start/stop/restart, console access, and status checks
• Update automation for game servers (SteamCMD-supported titles where applicable)
• Configuration and validation helpers (dependency checks, installation validation)
• Built-in monitoring and alerting via integrations (e.g., email/Discord/Slack-style notifications depending on config)
• Backup and restore utilities for server files and configurations
• Log management and troubleshooting tooling (log viewing, health checks)
• Support for running multiple game server instances with separate configs

Use Cases:

• Hosting community game servers (e.g., Minecraft/CS/Valheim/ARK) with repeatable installs
• Operating several dedicated servers on one host with consistent maintenance commands
• Automating updates, backups, and health checks for a small game-server fleet

Limitations and Considerations

• Primarily a CLI workflow; there is no official full-featured web control panel in the core project
• Feature depth can vary per supported game server depending on upstream tooling and script support

LinuxGSM is best suited for administrators who want a scriptable, repeatable way to manage dedicated servers without adopting a heavy hosting panel. Its per-game scripts and operational utilities cover most day-to-day tasks needed to keep servers updated, monitored, and recoverable.
