Rustide

Rust + Oxide 2.0 Server deployment and management

This script is now deprecated for current Rust servers
Oxide 2.0 was discontinued and replaced with Umod in 2019

It's recommended to use uMod Agent to deploy uMod Servers: https://umod.org/agent

This script will maintain a Rust "Experimental" server with Oxide2 Mod by allowing the server to update automatically when the script is run.
It will check and update both Rust Game & Oxide 2, and start the server automatically at the end of the script.
Currently updates are pushed out by Facepunch Studios approximately 5pm EDT every Thursday.

Features:

• Download + Update Rust/Oxide
• Auto Start Rustide (optional)
• Create server backups
• Remove old backups

Usage:

• Check the SET parameters at the start of the Rustide.bat file to customise your server.
  If backup is enabled "maxbackups" is how many backups it will keep in the folder.
  The "backuploc" option is for backup location, you can change it to something like C:\RustBackup if you want or leave it as default for the Rustide folder.
  MULTIPLE SERVER BACKUPS
  If you just want to use this script for update+backup, then just change "autostart" to no
• Just run Rustide.bat when you're ready.
  
• Want to run multiple servers? Just make multiple Rustide folders with different names (for seperate installs) or copy the Rustide.bat file and change "ident" to something meaningful for each server.
  

Already have an Oxide modded server?

• Run this script once then quit the server.
  
• Copy configuration files from your current server. Folders to copy are:
  <rust>\RustDedicated_Data\Managed <rust>\server\my_server_identity

Known Issues:

• The RAW GitHub server occasionally gives a 503 error, because their proxies are lame. The script will keep retrying
• There are no checks for the last update, so it will update your Rust+Oxide every time it restarts.
• There are no frequency checks for the backup, so it will make a backup every time you restart.
