Rust Server Startup Script Generator

Generate a complete Windows (.bat) or Linux (.sh) startup script for your Rust dedicated server. Configure all server flags, RCON, and optional auto-restart loop.

Script Type

Server Settings

server.identity

Folder name for save data and logs.

server.hostname

server.worldsize — 3000

1 0006 000

Map size in meters. Larger maps require more RAM and CPU.

World Seed (optional)

Leave blank for a random seed each restart.

server.maxplayers — 100

server.port

rcon.port

rcon.password

Options

Modded Server

Adds -server.modded 1 flag. Required for Oxide/uMod plugin servers.

Auto-Restart Loop

Wraps the launch command in a loop so the server restarts automatically after a crash.

Auto-Wipe on Restart (Windows only)

Deletes the world map files before each server start to force a fresh map. Does not delete player blueprints.

start.bat

Windows Batch script

@echo off
title Rust Dedicated Server

:start
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode -nographics +server.identity "my-server" +server.hostname "My Rust Server" +server.worldsize 3000 +server.maxplayers 100 +server.port 28015 +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.web 1

echo Server stopped. Restarting in 10 seconds...
timeout /t 10 /nobreak
goto :start

Deployment tip

Place the script in the same directory as RustDedicated.exe (or the Linux equivalent). On Linux run chmod +x start.sh first. Open the required ports in your firewall: the server port (default 28015/UDP) and RCON port (default 28016/TCP).
