First-run setup
Choose an install directory, validate paths server-side, install SteamCMD, and download Rust Dedicated Server through Valve.
Open-source alpha for Windows 10/11 x64
RustPilot packages setup, SteamCMD installation, Steam-authenticated access, live console output, WebRCON tools, backups, wipe planning, logs, and CFG editing into one local control panel.
What RustPilot manages
Choose an install directory, validate paths server-side, install SteamCMD, and download Rust Dedicated Server through Valve.
Follow RustPilot, SteamCMD, and server output from a local web panel with a console built for long-running output.
Manage announcements, player refresh, kick, ban, unban, save-world actions, and guided owner/moderator entries.
Create manual backups, schedule automatic backups, restore safely, and plan official Rust force wipes separately from custom wipes.
Edit Rust server cfg files from the panel, including common vanilla files such as server.cfg, users.cfg, and bans.cfg.
Binds to localhost by default, supports Steam login, role permissions, CSRF protection, rate limiting, action logs, and redacted secrets.
How it works
The Windows portable release includes the RustPilot launcher, bundled Node runtime, production backend, static web panel, and runtime dependencies. Rust server files are downloaded during setup through SteamCMD.
C:\RustPilot.RustPilot.exe and keep the console window open.http://127.0.0.1:40815.Current release
RustPilot is already usable for local testing, but it is still an alpha project. Remote access is optional and should be handled by your own VPN or HTTPS reverse proxy.
