You haven't read the book.
I have! It was the movie I didn't watch, as I found it a cringy attempt to adapt the (in all fairness, quite cringy) book. It was an enjoyable read, but it had its parts that were less... creative.
So then how could one server hide code for a pyramid that was distributed free to everyone as a template but could also be modified by the user as they saw fit?
I'm not sure specifically what part you're talking about, but there are ways to make open source stuff not easily modifiable, eg, blockchain. As for the stuff he didn't want everyone knowing, such as the keys and the clues, could be stored on a closed source private server.
The part where he has to go to a Tyrell building, but it's easy to find because it's a default free template everyone uses a lot.
