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.
1
./rustserver mods-install
Copied!
If a Rust update has been released, then an Oxide update will soon follow. To update Oxide, you can then run:
1
./rustserver mods-update
Copied!
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.
1
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)
2
oxide.reload PluginName ; will reload a plugin after updating it
3
ownerid STEAMID64 "Nickname" "Reason" ; to add an owner
4
