Rust is a multiplayer game where you play as a survivor that must work with or against other players to ensure your own survival. Players are able to steal, lie, cheat, or trick each other. You can build a shelter, hunt animals for food, craft weapons, craft armor, and much more.

Hosting your own Rust server allows you to customize settings and curate the number of players in the world.

Deploying the Rust Marketplace App

The Linode Marketplace allows you to easily deploy software on a Linode using the Linode Cloud Manager.

  1. Log in to the Cloud Manager and select the Marketplace link from the left navigation menu. This displays the Linode Compute Create page with the Marketplace tab pre-selected.

  2. Under the Select App section, select the app you would like to deploy.

  3. Fill out all required Options for the selected app as well as any desired Advanced Options (which are optional). See the Configuration Options section for details.

  4. Complete the rest of the form as discussed within the Getting Started > Create a Linode.

  5. Click the Create Linode button. Once the Linode has provisioned and has fully powered on, wait for the software installation to complete. If the Linode is powered off or restarted before this time, the software installation will likely fail. To determine if the installation has completed, open the Linode’s Lish console and wait for the system login prompt to appear.

  6. Follow the instructions within the Getting Started After Deployment section.

Software installation should complete within 5-15 minutes after the Linode has finished provisioning.

  • Supported distributions: Debian 9
  • Recommended minimum plan: 8GB Dedicated CPU or Shared Compute Instance

Getting Started after Deployment

Ensure that you have installed Rust to your computer before getting started with this section. You can install Rust from Steam’s Web Store.

After the Rust Marketplace App has finished deploying to your Linode, you will be able to access your Rust server by copying your Linode’s IPv4 address and entering it in to the Rust game installed on your computer. To find your Linode’s IPv4 address:

  1. Click on the Linodes link in the sidebar. You will see a list of all your Linodes.

  2. Find the Linode you just created when deploying your app and select it.

  3. Navigate to the Networking tab.

  4. Under the IPv4 heading, you will find your IPv4 address listed under the Address column.

  5. Copy the IPv4 address. Open Rust, and then open the developer’s console by pressing f1.

  6. In the console, type connect 192.0.2.155:28015 and replace 192.0.2.155 with your Linode’s IP address. Be sure append the port 28015 to the end of the IP address. Press enter when you are done typing.

    You will be logged into the server, and the game will load.

Software Included

The Rust Marketplace App will install the following required software on your Linode:

Software       Description
