For the time being i have scripted a simple version of this feature, at this time it only handles downloading, copying files & keys, however it could help in future development:

it assumes LGSM defaults
that the actual config used is common.cfg and that username and password are enclosed in ""
that steamcmd is installed in default location
that a modlist.txt is present in serverfiles directory
that each line in modlist.txt looks like this: "Mod_ID,@Mod_Name"
it doesn't handle putting all the mods inside common.cfg to be loaded
yes it is similar and based on windows version of this script that is written in .bat and used by some server owners, myself included
same as with windows version, if you plan on having many mods it is better to use new account with dayz as logging into steamcmd is rate limited and login happens once for every mod
old mod folder, for example @Mod_Name directory in serverfiles is deleted and replaced each time this script runs
has been tested only on debian 12
```
