Running a Rust dedicated server is... complicated.

System Requirements

To run a Rust dedicated server, you'll want a system with at least 4GB of RAM and a quad-core processor. The operating system should be Linux (Ubuntu 16.04+), Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit), or Windows Server 2012-2022. Modded servers will require even more processing power.

Installation

You can install the server from Facepunch's website or use SteamCMD. Linux requires a tool called linuxgsm.

For Linux:

wget -O linuxgsm.sh https://linuxgsm.sh && chmod +x linuxgsm.sh && bash linuxgsm.sh rustserver && ./rustserver install

For Windows:

steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\path\to\rustserver\ +login anonymous +app_update 258550 +quit

You'll need to forward UDP Ports 28015 and 28016

Rust parameters can be editing in the .bat file on Windows and rustserver.cfg using linuxgsm.

Starting the server

If you are using Facepunch's quick install zip file from their website, you simply need to run the Run_DS.bat file.

You can also run the server by using command line in the server's directory on Windows, and using the specified command on Linux:

Windows:

rust_server.exe -batchmode

Linux:

./RustDedicated -batchmode
