envelop 🚧

[!WARNING] envelop is currently in its early stages of development. Features, APIs, and functionality are subject to change as the project evolves.

envelop is a lightweight tool designed to install, run, and manage dedicated game servers. It provides a unified management interface that abstracts common protocols like RCON and Query, delivering a consistent API across different game servers. The interface includes essential services such as player management, process control (status, logs, stdin input), RCON command execution, and event streaming (e.g., server status changes, player activity).

Additionally, envelop simplifies server installation, supporting both SteamCMD-compatible games and non-Steam game servers, aiming to be the go-to solution for deploying and managing any game server seamlessly.

🛠️ Steam Integration

The Steam integration in envelop was made possible thanks to the amazing work of the SteamKit2 project. In addition, the steamvdf package, which handles parsing Valve Data Format files, was adapted from Jleagle/steam-go.
