General Information

RustAdmin

Online Rcon tool by Facepunch

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.

Full Wipe

A full wipe will remove all the player-made buildings, resources and all player's blueprints.

Automated Wipe

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.

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.

If a Rust update has been released, then an Oxide update will soon follow. To update Oxide, you can then run:

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.

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:

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

Note: append server.writecfg after adding an admin, and player needs to reconnect the server in order for it to be applied.

Rust Settings

Below is a complete list of all Rust server settings.

A complete list can be gathered by typing find . into Rust Rcon
