Servers and dashboard
Servers lists every game server of the community. Each server has a dashboard with live status, lifecycle actions and the console, plus tabs for Players, Plugins, Config, Schedules, Discord, Settings and Stats.
Server list
| Part | Detail |
|---|---|
| Summary | "N of M online", busy (wiping, updating, provisioning) and offline counts. Refresh reloads. |
| New server | Starts attach or hosted request. |
| Card | Name, status, game hostname, Modded and Platform badges, Address, Players (now / max), Map (type and size), Wipe info. A provisioning error is shown on the card. |
| Gear menu | Dashboard, Config, Set as platform. |
| Hosted requests | Open requests and their status appear above the list. |
Status values: online, offline, wiping, updating, restarting, provisioning.
Platform server
The header of each server has a star button: Set as platform / Platform. The platform server is the one the community's website, store and Discord use: the player site lists platform servers, kits and bundles are delivered to them, and kit and bundle pages only offer platform servers. Setting one demotes any other ("Any previously designated platform server will be unlinked"). Click Platform again to unset it. Needs the servers.configure permission (admin).
Server dashboard
Open a server to see:
| Block | Content |
|---|---|
| Banners | Old-binary warning after a force wipe ("Force wipe ran on the old game build"), VM warnings, outages. |
| Status | Online, offline, provisioning, wiping, updating, with last wipe. |
| Players | now / max with a slot bar. |
| Next wipe | Relative time, day/hour and kind, or Schedule a wipe. |
| Map | World size and seed, link to the public map. |
| Game build | Current build, "N available" or Up to date. |
| Map image | Refresh renders the map again on the server (hosted). |
Controls
| Control | Effect | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Restart | Restarts the game. Players get a 30 s warning. Confirm dialog "Restart Server". | Admin |
| Stop | Stops the game; the container stays up. Confirm dialog "Stop Server". | Admin |
| Start | Starts the game process. | Admin |
| Wipe now | Opens the wipe dialog (below). | Admin |
| Update game | Shown when a new build exists. Updates in place and restarts ("Update Binary"). | Admin |
| Provision / Retry provisioning | Deploys game and agent on its VM (hosted). | Admin |
The dialog titles and buttons are exactly as above. Controls are disabled while a job runs on the server; the Jobs rail on the page shows progress.
Wipe now
- Pick Map wipe ("Resets the map. Blueprints and progress stay.") or Full wipe ("Resets the map, blueprints and player progress.").
- Pick the seed: Keep current seed, Random seed (server-generated), Select from Vault (opens the Map vault picker) or Custom seed.
- Click Map wipe now / Full wipe now.
See Wipes and schedules for what each type does and Wipe cleanup for the steps that run.
Console
Live output of the game console (Live / polling / Offline indicator, Clear, scroll-to-bottom button). Raw commands need the console.write permission (admin); moderators can read. Input features:
- Autocomplete from the server's own settings catalogue: convars (with type, current value and help), commands and plugin commands, plus argument hints and true/false or enum values.
- Tab completes, Up/Down move (or recall history when the list is closed), Enter runs, Esc closes.
- Empty input shows your last 5 commands. History keeps 50 commands per server in your browser; lines containing password, token, secret or key are never stored.
The console is unavailable ("Server is offline - console unavailable") while the server is down.
Maintenance
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Auto-update | "Installs new Rust builds while the server is empty." Controlled by the setting Update Rust automatically (Settings); it shows "Locked by ..." when a higher level pins it. |
| Server agent (hosted) | Restart (same version) or Redeploy (latest agent image). The game keeps running. |
| Delete server | "Removes the server, its containers and its data. Cannot be undone." Needs the servers.delete permission. |
| Health & security | Agent capabilities and credentials. |
Capabilities and security
Capabilities lists each feature of the panel for this server as available, locked or temporarily unavailable, with the reason and how to unlock it (for example "Needs Oxide", "Needs our plugin", "Hosted only"). Re-check now probes the server; it also re-checks every 10 minutes and when the server comes online. A temporary outage (RCON or agent unreachable) disables the affected actions and brings them back by itself.
Hosted servers also show a Security card: authentication mode and TLS pin, signing key rotation (Rotate now), RCON password Rotate (applied at the next restart or wipe), and Reset TLS pin for the platform operator.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Buttons disabled | A job is running, the server is attached (no Start/Wipe/Update), or your role is too low. |
| "Provision" fails | See the message on the card; Retry provisioning. |
| Status stuck on wiping/updating | Check the Jobs page; the status refreshes every 3 s while busy, 10 s offline, 30 s online. |
