Wipe
A server wipe is used to reset a Rust server by deleting certain types of data about the map and players.
A wipe will keep the Rust+ data intact.
Map Wipe
A map wipe will remove all the player-made buildings and resources. Resetting the map back to its original state. However, a player's blueprints will be retained.
./rustserver map-wipe
Full Wipe
A full wipe will remove all the player-made buildings, resources and all player's blueprints.
./rustserver full-wipe
Automated Wipe
Using cron it is possible to automate your server wipes. The below example will wipe the server every Sunday night at midnight.
0 0 * * 0 /home/rustserver/rustserver map-wipe > /dev/null 2>&1
Random Seed
If the Rust server is using the Procedural Map and a seed is not set in the config when the wipe commands will set a new random seed.
seed=""
Install Oxide
Oxide is an API allowing you to run mods for your Rust server.
LinuxGSM now handles the install of Oxide for Rust, with mods-install and mods-update commands.
./rustserver mods-install
If a Rust update has been released, then an Oxide update will soon follow. To update Oxide, you can then run:
./rustserver mods-update
Install Oxide addons
To install Oxide addons place them into the serverfiles/oxide/plugins directory. This will cause them to load automatically when starting the server.
If you need to edit any addon configs, they will be located in serverfiles/oxide/config.
To update an addon without restarting the server, you'll need to reload the addon with an RCON command.
oxide.reload PluginName
RCON
Send RCON commands:
RCON is the protocol used to send commands to your server. You will need a tool to use it. Here are 3 of them:
Rusty: http://oxidemod.org/resources/rusty-server-rcon-administration-tool.53/​
Rustadmin: https://www.rustadmin.com/ (supports both rconweb=1 and rconweb=0)
Facepunch web tool: http://facepunch.github.io/webrcon/#/home​
To use software like Rusty, you need to alter LinuxGSM config and change rconweb="0". To use Facepunch tool, Rustadmin desktop or Rustadmin Online, you can leave it at default rconweb="1"
Note: Facepunch web tool currently don't accept domain names, you need to enter server IP.
Essential RCON Commands
save ; will save the server state (useful before a stop or restart)
oxide.reload PluginName ; will reload a plugin after updating it
ownerid STEAMID64 "Nickname" "Reason" ; to add an owner
moderatorid STEAMID64 "Nickname" "Reason" ; to add a moderator
server.writecfg ; will save config changes, including new admins
Note: append server.writecfg after adding an admin, and player needs to reconnect the server in order for it to be applied.
