Launch a ready-made LinuxGSM server from the Akamai (Linode) or DigitalOcean marketplace, with no Linux setup of your own.

What LinuxGSM does for you

Update
Keeps the game server and LinuxGSM current using SteamCMD or the developer's own release feed.

Alert
Tells you about crashes and updates through Discord, email, Telegram, Slack, ntfy, Gotify and more.
Details
Ports, passwords, config paths, resource use and online status in one command.
Backup
Archives the whole server before you change anything.
