Tool for auto-installing Oxide?
Posted 5 years ago
#1
I am running a rust server and was curious if anyone has released an auto updater tool for oxide? Whevener i use "restart" in my server it restarts itself and checks for game update but once it starts back up the oxide mod seems to be uninstalled. Was curious if anyone here has released a tool that will install/update oxide automatically upon server restarts so this doesn't happen.

Thanks

Most hosts provide methods for this via their panel, but there are standalone tools such as RSM, RSMX, LGSM, etc. A basic PowerShell script would also get the job done.

Who had that one PowerShell script?

In your startup .bat file, after the server update, use curl to download the oxide zip then use 7zp to extract and overwrite.

Yeah I'm using dedi OVH so I'm guessing I'll need to use powershell or something..

If Linux, you can use a simple curl or wget call in your existing .sh if Linux, or PowerShell if on Windows with an Invoke-WebRequest call.

PowerShell is native to Windows, and can work on Linux by installing it.

Sweet I'll try setting this up. Thanks for all the help
