01 / Just another night

Your server is full. You're asleep. And someone just loaded something they shouldn't have.

Too many headshots

78% headshots in the last 50 shots, and one pistol kill at 212 metres. Nobody on the server has noticed yet.

The panel notices

The alert pops up in Watch and lands in your team's Discord channel within seconds, with the player, the reason and their history. Two F7 reports join the same ticket.

Your mod checks it

From their phone they open the player's profile: a two-day-old account, a VPN, and the shared ban list says he was banned on a friend's server last week. No doubt left.

Gone. Everywhere.

One click: banned and kicked, with the reason in the activity log. The ban reaches all your servers at once, and the players who reported him get a thank-you in game.

And the night goes on

Scheduled restart with chat warnings, backup saved and server updated. All on its own.

Moderation

Every F7 report becomes a ticket

Reports about the same player are grouped, so you see at a glance who five people are complaining about. Take the ticket, leave notes for your team and close it with a sanction.

  • Warn, mute, kick, temp ban or ban in one click
  • Reporters get a private "thank you" in game
  • /tickets in Discord for your staff

In-game staff

Your mods work without leaving Rust

Add someone as moderator or admin in the panel and they type /staff in game. A window with players, reports and world controls opens, and every action lands in the activity log.

  • Moderators: reports, warn, mute, kick, teleport to
  • Admins: bans, bring, heal, time, weather, events
  • Nobody needs the RCON password

Why self-hosted

Your server, your data, your rules

No subscription

Free and open source under the MIT license. No paywalled features, no ads.

Your data stays home

Chat logs, player history and keys live on your machine, not on someone else's cloud.

Made for Rust

Built around how Rust servers really work: wipes, F7, teams, Oxide and Carbon.

Get started

Up and running in three steps

  1. Download

    Grab the latest zip from GitHub Releases and extract it.

  2. Run the installer

    It installs Node.js and the dependencies and opens the firewall ports for you.

  3. Open the panel

    Go to http://localhost:8080, create your account and click Install server. The built-in wiki guides you from there.

PowerShell

          

          
Already have a server? Import its folder without reinstalling, or connect to a rented one over RCON. Both options are at the top of the Install screen.

          
Needs 64-bit Windows 10/11, Windows Server 2019+, Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 or Debian 12, Node.js 18+, about 12 GB of free RAM and 20 GB of disk.

        

      

    

  


  

    

      
Questions

      
Frequently asked

      

        
Is it really free?
Yes. Scrapwarden is open source under the MIT license: no subscription, no paid tier and no ads. If it helps you, you can support development on Ko-fi.

        
Do I need Oxide or Carbon?
Not for the basics: installing, console, players, chat, restarts, wipes, statistics, the Discord bot and the public page work on vanilla. The live map, inventories, F7 tickets, /staff, rates and cheat detection need Oxide or Carbon; the panel installs its companion plugin automatically.

        
Does it work with a rented server?
Yes. Run Scrapwarden on your PC or any machine and use remote mode: enter the IP, RCON port and password from your host. Console, players, chat, moderation, F7 tickets, /staff, statistics, Discord, Tebex, VIP and rates all work over RCON. Add your host's FTP or SFTP details and plugins work too, with the companion plugin uploaded for you. Installing, backups and wipes stay with your host.

        
I already have a server. Do I have to reinstall it?
No. Choose "I already have one here", point to its folder and Scrapwarden reads your start script to keep the same ports, identity, RCON password, map and plugins. If it is already running, the panel connects to it.

        
Is it safe to open to the Internet?
Passwords are hashed with scrypt, two-factor authentication is available and every action is logged. For remote access, put it behind HTTPS (Caddy or Nginx) or use a VPN. The RCON port never needs to be opened.

        
What does "beta" mean here?
Everything works, but it's new and you may find bugs. Use the Report a bug button in the panel: it opens GitHub with the technical details already filled in. The panel tells you when a new version is out.

        
Is it affiliated with Facepunch?
No. Scrapwarden is an independent community project. Rust is a trademark of Facepunch Studios.
