Your Rust server appears automatically in the server list under Community. These settings make it stand out. You find all of them in the Startup variables tab; they apply after the next restart.
Name and description
- Server name (
HOSTNAME) – your server's name in the list. Many servers add the wipe schedule and features, e.g. "My Server | Monthly | 2x | Solo/Duo". - Description (
DESCRIPTION) – shown when players click the server. Good for rules, wipe dates and your Discord link. Write a line break as\n.
Images and website
- Server image (
SERVER_IMG) – the big image at the top of the server entry. Enter a direct link to an image (PNG or JPG, ideally 512 × 256 pixels). - Server logo (
SERVER_LOGO, regular Rust server) – the round logo shown in the Rust+ app, also as a direct image link. - Server URL (
SERVER_URL) – your website or Discord. It opens via the "Visit Website" button.
Tags (Rust auto-wipe server)
Server tags (SERVER_TAGS) help filtering in the list, e.g. monthly,vanilla. Lower case, separated by commas – at most four are shown.
Good to know
- After starting it can take a few minutes until your server shows up in the list. Connecting directly works right away: press F1 in Rust to open the console and type
client.connect IP:port(address at the top of the server page). - With Oxide plugins your server is listed as Modded.
