Installing Rust:IO on your Rust server

Rust:IO is an Oxide extension that adds a live, interactive browser map of your Rust world. The map shows player locations, buildings and more.

warning

Rust:IO is a third-party extension. Before you install it, check on playrust.io that it's still available for the current version of Rust. An extension that doesn't match the game can stop your server from starting. If that happens, remove Rust:IO again.

Install Rust:IO​

  1. Make sure Oxide is on: open the Plugins tab of your server in the Fragnet dashboard and check that Oxide (uMod) is marked On in the Modding framework card. If it isn't, follow Installing Oxide plugins and start the server once so Oxide installs.
  2. Stop the server with Shut down at the top of the server page. The server must be stopped while you install Rust:IO.
  3. Download Oxide.Ext.RustIO.dll from http://playrust.io/latest.
  4. On the Files tab, open the RustDedicated_Data/Managed folder.
  5. Select Upload and choose Oxide.Ext.RustIO.dll, or drag the file onto the list. See Upload files.
  6. Start the server. The extension loads with Oxide.

Rust:IO is now installed. Search for your server name on playrust.io to find its map.

Remove Rust:IO​

Stop the server, delete Oxide.Ext.RustIO.dll from RustDedicated_Data/Managed on the Files tab and start the server again.

Edit the Rust:IO settings​

Rust:IO creates its config file, RustIO.json, in the oxide/config folder the first time it loads. You can edit it on the Configuration tab, where it's listed under Oxide configs, or on the Files tab. Restart the server after you change it.
