Rust Server Admin Guide: Convars, WebRCON, Admins, Wipes & Mods

How to run and administer a Rust dedicated server: SteamCMD install, the convar launch line that configures everything, WebSocket RCON (and why Source RCON clients do not work), granting owner/moderator admins and persisting them with server.writecfg, kick/ban, how map and blueprint wipes actually work plus the monthly forced wipe, and adding Oxide/uMod or Carbon plugins.

Rust RCON Commands: Server Admin & Console Reference

A practical reference for Rust server admins: how WebRCON works, listing players, kicking and banning by Steam64 ID, granting admin with ownerid/moderatorid, server.cfg cvars, time and weather control, and the console-vs-RCON gotchas.
