Requirements

+ +

SteamCMD

+

Configuring the envoirenment

+

+ Create a user with the name "steam" and give it a password. +

+

+ sudo useradd -m steam +

+

+ sudo passwd steam +

+
+

+ When prompted, enter a new password for the "steam" user.
+ Then switch to the "steam" user and go to its home folder. +

+

+ su steam +

+

+ cd +

+
+

+ Enable the contrib and non-free repositories by changing your /etc/apt/sources.list to resemble the following: +

+

+ deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
+ deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
+
+ deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free
+ deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free
+
+ deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
+ deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
+

+

Installing SteamCMD

+

+ Finally, to install SteamCMD run: +

+

+ sudo apt install steamcmd +

+
+

Installing

+

+ Run SteamCMD +

+

+ steamcmd +

+
+

+ After a short update period, a prompt like Steam> should appear.
+ To login anonymously type: +

+

+ login anonymous +

+
+

+ Now install the Rust Dedicated Server application. +

+

+ app_update 258550 +

+

+ This will install and verify the Rust server.
+ On my ~100 Mbit/s connection this took around 15-20 Minutes.
+
+ Afterwards you can quit the SteamCMD shell. +

+

+ quit +

+
+

Running

+

+ First navigate to the Rust server directory. +

+

+ cd ~/Steam/steamapps/common/rust_dedicated +

+
+

+ Finally, start up the Rust server by running: +

+

+ ./RustDedicated -batchmode +

+
+

+ There are several arguments you can pass to the server to change its behaviour. +

+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
