Last updated: 10/9/2026

Open the tool

A Rust dedicated server is configured through command-line arguments (+server.hostname, +rcon.port…). This tool builds a clean, readable Linux launch script, one argument per line.

How to use the tool

  1. Enter the server's name, identity (save folder) and port.

  2. Set a long, unique RCON password.

  3. Pick the map, its size and seed; add custom arguments if needed.

  4. Download start.sh, put it next to RustDedicated and make it executable (chmod +x start.sh).

Example plugin of the module system

This tool serves as a template: it fits in a few files (index.ts for metadata, text.ts for translations, tool.tsx for the field schema and render function). Copy the src/modules/rust/startup-command folder to create your own.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work on Windows?
The arguments are identical; simply replace “./RustDedicated \” with “RustDedicated.exe” and join the lines in a .bat file.
