How to Update Oxide/Rust

Once a month, the Oxide developers update their product. Sometimes, Rust also pushes an update for servers, which also requires Oxide to be updated again outside of their regular update schedule. If you ever experience issues while connecting to your server, or you suddenly cannot see your server on the server list, the first thing to try before anything else is performing these updates, if the issues were not present before.


Updating your Server

To update Oxide and Rust, you can follow these steps:

  1. Access your control panel and Stop your server.
  2. Navigate to Files > Config Files.
  3. Open Rust Server Settings.
  4. Set Automatic Updates to Enabled.
  5. Save and Start your server.

Your Rust server and Oxide should now be updated and ready to use.
