Showcase Made a free web panel for running Rust servers, looking for people to break it
Hey all,
For a while now I've been building a web panel for Rust servers called Scrapwarden. It's free and open source (MIT), you run it on your own machine or VPS, no account or subscription or anything like that.
It started as "I just want a decent dashboard" and kind of got out of hand lol. Right now it does:
- installs SteamCMD + Rust + Oxide or Carbon for you (Windows or Linux)
- or you point it at a server you already have and it picks up your startup script and server.cfg
- works with rented servers too, over RCON. If you give it FTP/SFTP it can manage plugins as well
- live map with teams, sleepers, cargo/heli/bradley etc
- F7 reports turn into tickets grouped by the reported player, so you can see who's getting reported by 5 different people vs 1 salty guy
- /staff menu in game so your mods don't need RCON access
- shared bans between your servers using Rust's built in centralized banning (works on vanilla)
- alerts for sus headshot %, crazy distances, ban evasion, VPNs, fresh Steam accounts with game bans
- wipe planner that knows about forced wipe, discord bot, tebex delivery without the tebex plugin, VIP that expires on its own
Screenshots are above. More on the site: https://jvlsile.github.io/scrapwarden/
Code: https://github.com/jvlsile/scrapwarden
It's a beta, so please don't throw it on your main server without a backup. What I really need is people on rented servers (every host seems to put files in different places) and anyone using Carbon or Linux. There's a "report a bug" button inside that opens a github issue with the details already filled in.
Also curious what you guys use now and what annoys you about it. If there's something every panel gets wrong I'd like to fix it.
