First login

After ordering, open Pterodactyl from your client area. Your server IP and port appear on the Network tab.

Install Oxide/uMod

  1. Stop the server from the Console tab.
  2. Open Startup and set the Rust branch to Oxide (or install Oxide from the egg variables).
  3. Start the server — Oxide loads automatically on boot.

Configure wipes

Edit server.cfg or use RCON:

server.seed 12345
server.worldsize 3500

Schedule wipes with Schedules in Pterodactyl — set cron expressions for weekly or bi-weekly map resets.

RCON access

Enable RCON in Startup variables. Connect with your favorite RCON tool using the IP, port, and password from the panel.
