Getting started

1. Add your server — In the dashboard, add a server with a name, RCON host, port, and password. Use the host/port your Rust server or host provides for WebRCON.
2. Connect RCON — Click Connect. RustMaxx will establish an outbound WebSocket to your server. No inbound ports on your side.
3. Install optional plugin — For live map and some intel features, install our server-side plugin (Oxide/uMod). Upload to your server and configure as below.
4. Set permissions — Use the dashboard to assign staff roles and limit who can run which commands. Audit logs track all actions.

Environment variables

For self-hosted RustMaxx, set these (example placeholders):

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/rustmaxx
SESSION_SECRET=your-long-random-secret
ADMIN_PASSWORD=your-admin-login-password
NEXTAUTH_URL=https://your-domain.com

Plugin config (placeholder)

If you use the optional map/intel plugin, configure it on the server. Example structure (replace with real plugin config):

{
  "api_url": "https://your-rustmaxx-instance.com",
  "server_id": "your-server-id",
  "features": ["map", "events"]
}

Security model

We keep security simple and transparent.

• Stored credentials — RCON credentials are stored encrypted. We never log or expose your RCON password in plain text.
• Signed requests — Where the plugin talks to RustMaxx, we use HMAC or signed tokens so only your server can authenticate.
• Audit logs — Every command run through the dashboard is logged (who, when, what). You can export and review.
• Outbound-only — RustMaxx initiates connections to your game server. You don't need to open ports to the internet.
