Tutorial for Oxide and plugins on an OpenGamePanel server
This tutorial has been done on OGP* version 5b3fc2142027ab4b98dfbb3cfcc8bd892eb51e51 with SimpleBootstrap theme on Ubuntu 16.04. Before you install Oxide, first make sure that a Rust server is installed and fully operational before attempting installation.

Step 1- Install Oxide

  1. You must download the latest version of Oxide for Rust on your computer
  2. Unzip the "Oxide.Rust.zip" file on your desktop
  3. Open your FTP Client and transfer the "RustDedicated_Data" folder to "/home/ogp_agent/OGP_User_Files/YourServerName/"
  4. Once the files are transfered, start your server to create all the prerequisites for Oxide
  5. To see if you have installed Oxide correctly, go to the console (either in the game or with third-party software) and type the command oxide.version . This command should show you the Oxide Version

Step 2- Install Plugins

  1. To install your plugins correctly, stop your Rust server
  2. Go to the plugins section for Rust and download the plugins you want
  3. Once you have downloaded your plugins, go to your file manager ("Game Monitor", "Rust", "YouServerName" and "File Manager" button) or with FTP
  4. Go to the Oxide folder and then to the Plugins folder. Click on the upload button and select all the plugins you have downloaded
  5. To see if you have installed your plugins properly, go to the console (either in the game or third-party software) and type the command oxide.plugins . This command should show you the list of plugins you just installed

Step 3- Update Oxide

When the time comes for all of us to have the new update of our servers and to have the wipe forced, we must also update Oxide
  1. Shut down your Rust server
  2. Download the latest version of Oxide for Rust on your computer
  3. Unzip the "Oxide.Rust.zip" file on your desktop
  4. Open your FTP Client and transfer the "RustDedicated_Data" folder to "/home/ogp_agent/OGP_User_Files/YourServerName/"
  5. Once the files are transfered, start your server to create all the prerequisites for Oxide
  6. Start your Rust server
  7. To see if the update was done correctly, write in the console oxide.version and oxide.plugins . You will see the version of Oxide and the list of your plugins


This tutorial can also work on other software and platforms, but the paths will not be the same

If you have trouble installing Oxide, you can answer this thread and I will try to help you. If you find any errors in my tutorial, let me know so that I can fix it.

I got to step 1-4 and started things up. The server runs, but its still vanilla, there is no mention of oxide in the logs, and no oxide folders are created. I am at a loss since tehre is nothing being logged related to oxide to know what is failing to troubleshoot. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Its an english forums so if ya ask in english we could understand.

So my issue was doing an app update on start (/home/steam/SteamCMD/steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir /home/steam/Rust +login anonymous +app_update 258550 validate +quit) which overrides the Oxide files on load. I removed that line and it worked perfectly. @DenzhatniK
