Open Source Game Servers

LinuxGSM is the command-line tool for quick, simple deployment and management of Linux dedicated game servers. Traditionally game servers are not easy to manage yourself. Admins often have to spend hours messing around trying to get their server working. LinuxGSM is a command-line tool designed to be as simple as possible, allowing admins to spend less time on management and more time gaming. LinuxGSM will run on popular distros as long as the minimum requirements are met. Each game server has specific dependency requirements. Visit a specific game server installation page on the LinuxGSM website to check dependency requirements for the game server you want to install. LinuxGSM keeps itself and your game server updated. Using methods available from game developers to update including, SteamCMD, custom JSON or file archives, LinuxGSM can make sure you are running the latest version of your game server.
