Rust+ is the official Rust companion app that allows you to pair servers you play on with the app on your phone. You can view the server status, chat with other players, view the map and more.
# Setup and Pair Rust+
You will be able to setup and pair Rust+ for your server.
- Download the Rust+ app on your phone (iOS, Android). Push Notifications must be enabled for the app.
- On your control panel, navigate to the Ports tab.
- Find the port for RustPlus and make a note of it for later.
- In your
server.cfgfile in/server/my_server_identity/cfg/server.cfg, setapp.portto the new port number you copied earlier and setapp.publicipto your Server IP (not including the port). You will need to add these settings if they do not already exist. To do this, just add the following new lines, with the port you were provided, and your Server's IP.
- If the file still has not been generated, you can create it yourself. Navigate to Files > server > my_server_identity > cfg and click New File. Create a file titled
server.cfg.
File: server.cfg
plaintext app.port 12345 app.publicip 172.16.0.1
- Save the file and Restart your server.
- Once your server is back online, join your server and press Esc to open the menu, then select Rust+.
- If it worked correctly, you should see a Pair with Server button appear - click it. Otherwise, press refresh (sometimes you need to restart both the game and the mobile app).
- You will either receive a push notification on your phone, or if the app is open you should see your server appear, and will be able to press Pair Server on your phone.
That's it! The app should now be connected successfully.
You can find additional information about setting up the Rust+ companion app for Rust servers on the Wiki.
