Join the fun on our new server for Rust

You asked, some of you repeatedly and so I listened. GOL now officially runs a server for Rust [Steam] and you're all welcome to join in.

You can find it as "gamingonlinux.com" in the community tab, or direct IP: 163.172.17.175:30616. I also sorted out one of those nifty banners for it:

Note: The first Thursday of every month the server gets reset, this is not controlled by us. It's current a feature of the game.

While Garry from Facepunch has said some silly things in the past about Linux, the game actually runs really quite nicely. You shouldn't take what he says too seriously either, as he loves a good troll. You do currently seem to need to put it into Windowed mode or it won't register any input.

It's quite likely we will use this server in future livestreams and play with the community sessions, which could be quite fun with a good bit of PVP.

We also run other game servers, you can see them all on this page.

Enjoy! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Rust updated today and I can no longer connect to the GOL server. It returns the error 'Wrong Connection Protocol - server update required'

Yeah, I had to wait as there were 5 people on, but it got down to 1 and I couldn't hold it off forever. It's now up to date again.

I would advise all to keep an eye on Rust updates, to promptly come off if there is one so I can update :)

Also a comment about "Vulkan on all platforms" above it.

Is it possible for you to to send admin-warnings like: "server is going for a reboot in 10 minutes" from non-interactive terminal? If yes, and if server can be updated from a script, you could have a script that warn online players at 10 minutes, 5 minutes, 2 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds, now, and then auto update for you. If you only run it manually and you check if it succeeded afterwards then the script doesn't have to be perfect.

The applications usually used to do server admin stuff are almost always entirely on Windows. I have yet to find one that has such features on Linux :(

Liam, I believe you have options for this on Linux too with webrcon? That should open up the posibility to properly control it through multiple tools (web, linux, windows, android..). http://facepunch.github.io/webrcon/#/home

QuoteIf you're running a Rust server you need to add "+rcon.web 1" to the command line to enable web based Rcon. If you don't define a port it will use the default port, but you will also need to set a password, which you can do with "+rcon.password password".

Doesn't this solve the issue of doing server admin stuff?

EDIT: Seems like the say command that is available through webrcon should work fine, and I see multiple good web interfaces and android clients for this :)
