Steam auth​

Configuring Steam credentials opens an auth modal asking for the account password and a 2FA Steam Guard code. Credentials are stored encrypted for SteamCMD to use.

Actions​

  • Save settings. Persists the form.
  • Authorize Steam. Opens the auth modal.
  • Edit config backup. Textarea; lets you restore from a known-good serverconfig.xml if the live one ever gets corrupted.

Notes​

  • An update triggers on server restart if Auto-Update is on and SteamCMD detects a newer build on the selected branch.
  • Use beta to pin to experimental builds, or a named branch with password for private test channels.
  • Config backups don't auto-rotate. Remember to refresh the snapshot when you change serverconfig.xml for real.
