How to Update Oxide/Rust on Your Rust Server

Note:

At Cybrancee, you don’t need to update Oxide manually. Updates are automatically applied each time you restart your server. This ensures your server always runs the latest compatible version of Rust and Oxide/uMod.

If you are running a server elsewhere and need to perform a manual update, follow these steps

1. Download the Latest Oxide Build

Download the latest Oxide release that matches your Rust server version from the Umod official website or from Github.

2. Log in to Your Cybrancee Panel

3. Stop Your Server

4. Connect via FTP/SFTP

Use an FTP client like FileZilla to connect to your server.

If you need help setting up FTP, see our guide How to Connect to Pterodactyl Via SFTP.

5. Upload the Oxide Files

  • Extract the downloaded Oxide.Rust.zip file on your computer.
  • Inside the extracted files, locate the RustDedicated_Data folder.
  • Upload the RustDedicated_Data folder to your Rust server root directory /home/container/

    Allow the files to overwrite when prompted.

8. Verify the Installation

Open your server console and type:

oxide.version → shows the installed Oxide/uMod version.

oxide.plugins → lists all currently loaded plugins.

If both commands work, your Oxide update has been successfully applied.
