indifferent broccoli
Just wanted to say I really appreciate the timely response to server issues. Excellent service.
Just wanted to say how amazing indifferent broccoli! They are always do their best to accommodate And help everyone. Never knew Such an amazing hosting service could exist!
Ngl I had a really positive experience with Zomboid and same for MC. Although I'm still getting used to the difference for server set up. It's been really easy to do and fast as well. The performance of the server even was really good although we were using the Lost Cities mod (which is a fairly tanky mod). 10/10 Host.
Our server is loving your host service so far. It feels like I have the freedoms of a home-based server with the stability and security of a hosted server. At a price that you can't beat. Thank you for what yall do

Without indifferent broccoli
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
