An all-in-one application to manage your Dedicated (or private) Rust Server.
From installation and updating, to RCON (remote connection), I've got you covered.

Contains various customization aspects to manage your Rust Server.
Simple Installation
Easily install, manage, update, start, and fully configure your vanilla or modded Rust server along with Oxide support for plugin updates, backups, and restores with a single click.
Full Configuration
Simple interface to edit server configs, plugin configs, start your server, view skins, save skins, remotely connect with the RCON tool and much more.
Plugin Management
Allows updating, editing, backing up and restoring Oxide plugins for your server. (carbon support coming soon)
Backup & Restore
Backup your Rust server(s) with comprehensive backup options, works with Oxide plugins, world data, player data, and custom world configurations too.
Integrated RCON Tool
Manage your live server with a built-in RCON client, supporting both RCON protocols. Allows Owner or Admins to connect remotely.
Better than the server console.

Instructions & Setup
Getting started with Rust Server Management Tool.
- Download: Download the latest version from the Releases section.
- Installation Path: Place the program wherever you'd like.
- Install Server: Open the program and click the dropdown "C:\rustserver", this opens a folder dialog to select where to install (or select) your Rust Server directory/folder. Avoid using system folder paths. (C:\ is fine.)
Once a folder is selected, click "Install Rust Server" the tool will download and install (or update) your Rust Server. - Install Oxide: Once the server is installed, click "Install Oxide" to add plugin support and install Oxide.
(You don't have to install Oxide but it's recommended for full support.) - Edit Server Config: Use the "Edit Server Config" button to set your server configuration. Such as name, description, world size, and other parameters.
- Start Server: Click "Launch Rust Server" to start your server.
When the server is running, the RCON tool can be used, ensure you update your default password (letmein).
Bugs & Fixes
Known issues and their current status.
If you find a bug, sorry.

- Future Skin updates will remain universal for Rust Server Management Tool. Hopefully. ;^) - [Bugs]
- Skins tagged Twitch in All may/may not be correct same with Paid skins list. However all skins are present.
- Skin loading times take a long time to load, this is normal. - [Issues]
- The program may be flagged as Trojan.Win64.MSIL, a false positive for header/useragent switching.
