Is the private server source maintained anymore?
-
Git shows its various components haven't been updated in a really long time, 5+ years in some cases.
And I've spent the last 4 days trying everything to get the private server to install through NPM. I've tried different Linux distributions and different versions of NodeJS. Each attempt to install always seems to fail at the same point with with node-gyp throwing a build error.
Am I wasting my time trying to get this to work? Has it been abandoned?

Not sure where you are looking to get 5+ years, but things where updated yesterday you can see that here https://github.com/screeps
There are different ways to get a private server running, I am on windows so can't really help with linux. But I would suggest joining the official discord and asking in the #servers channel. here is the discord invite link https://t.co/ArI8Svwglx
I do know there is currently some shenanigans with what python & node versions you need to have installed. and issues with node-gyp compiling is something that happens often.
The most common suggestion is to use screeps-launcher though
