Rust Wiki: The Server Admin's Reference (2026)
47 guides to help you master Rust
🚀 Host a Rust ServerThis wiki is for Rust server admins and community operators. 40+ in-depth guides cover dedicated-server setup, configuration files, RCON, the Oxide / uMod / Carbon modding stacks, monthly wipe strategy, performance tuning, anti-cheat troubleshooting, DDoS mitigation, and the Rust updates that have shipped in 2026. Nexus is covered as a roadmap direction until Facepunch publishes supported production setup details.
If you are looking for the in-game item wiki (recipes, crafting trees, monument loot tables), rust.wiki.gg and the Fandom Rust wiki cover that side better. This site exists for the server-running side: how to launch, configure, secure, mod, scale, and recover a Rust dedicated server.
