Rust

This guide covers the rust module in AlphaGSM.

rust is currently PASSED on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. GitHub integration exercises process and Docker using the same module launch contract and AlphaGSM-resolved A2S readiness surface.

Requirements

• screen
• SteamCMD runtime libraries (lib32gcc-s1, lib32stdc++6)
• Python packages from requirements.txt

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm myrust create rust

Run setup:

alphagsm myrust setup

Start it:

alphagsm myrust start

Check it:

alphagsm myrust status

Stop it:

alphagsm myrust stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

• the game port (default 28015/UDP)
• the RCON port (default 28016/TCP)
• the Steam query port (default 28017/UDP)
• the install directory
• SteamCMD downloads the server files

Resetting the World

Stop the server, then run alphagsm myrust reset-world (or wipe). AlphaGSM lists the world data to delete and asks for confirmation. Add -Y to skip the prompt. wipe --mode hard reinstalls the server and keeps server/my_server_identity/cfg. Run start afterwards to generate a fresh world.

Install the pinned Oxide/uMod framework with:

alphagsm myrust mod add manifest oxide
alphagsm myrust mod apply

See world creation and reset for exactly which files are removed and the supported layouts.

Useful Commands

alphagsm myrust update
alphagsm myrust backup

Notes

• Module name: rust
• Default game port: 28015/UDP
• Default RCON port: 28016/TCP
• Default query port: 28017/UDP
• query, info, and info --json use A2S on server.queryport

Server variables

After create rust, inspect or change these with set:

alphagsm myserver set --list
alphagsm myserver set KEY --describe
alphagsm myserver set KEY VALUE

This module does not declare schema-backed keys. set --list after create is still the live source of truth.
