Dedicated Server Template
The only aim in Rust is to survive. To do this you will need to overcome struggles such as hunger, thirst and cold. Build a fire. Build a shelter. Kill animals for meat. Protect yourself from other players, and kill them for meat. Create alliances with other players and form a town. Do whatever it takes to survive.
Deploy and manage your own Rust dedicated server with GameCP's free game server control panel. This template provides a production-ready server configuration with one-click installation, automatic updates via SteamCMD, and full environment variable management. Whether you're hosting for a small group of friends or running a large community server, GameCP makes Rust server administration simple and reliable.
