A server wipe is used to reset a Rust server by deleting certain types of data about the map and players.
A map wipe is when the game server deletes (wipes) all the entity information by players interacting with the server, for example, buildings and objects, map resources are also reset. However, individual player data is kept.
To do a Map wipe with LinuxGSM use the command:
./rustserver wipe
A blueprint wipe is where player data is deleted (wiped). This includes player blueprints, entries, positions and inventories. Generally, a blueprint wipe only happens alongside a map wipe.
To do a Map+Blueprint wipe with LinuxGSM use the command:
./rustserver full-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 wipe > /dev/null 2>&1
If the seed is not set in config when the wipe commands are used a random seed is set.

If you need more help, here is a video that shows a bit more into depth how to use LinuxGSM, how the directory structure works, it also explains the basics of a Rust Server and other stuff, that's why it's 20 minutes long, otherwise, if you're experienced, you can get your server up and running in around 5 minutes without any mods.

Oxide is an API allowing you to run mods for you 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
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 is the protocol used to send commands to your server. You will need a tool to use it. Here are 3 of them:
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.
