Solved How to update my server?

How to update my server when a new update is available ?
- I use SteamCMD
and how to keep a backup ?

 

In steamCMD:
login anonymous
force_install_dir C:{directory}
app_update 258550

Backups used to be automatically kept and updated in the backups folder of your server files but I don't think they exists any longer. However, I've heard that there are other alternatives such as Rust Server Manager which auto-backups every so timed tick.

 

I already wrote this at the beginning of the server
did i write it in every update ? and write it where ?

 

If you have a dedicated server, you probably want to use 2 differents bat file, one for update and the other to start your server.

in your Update.bat =>

Code:

cd steam
steamcmd.exe +runscript ../update_script.txt
cd ..

and in your update.txt =>

Code:

@ShutdownOnFailedCommand 1
@NoPromptForPassword 1
login anonymous
force_install_dir ../rustds
app_update 258550 validate
quit

and your Start_server.bat =>

Code:

echo offcd rustds
start RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.level HapisIsland +oxide.directory "server/{server.identity}/oxide" +server.hostname "My Server Name" +server.port 28015 +server.identity "my_server" -logFile "output.txt" -autoupdate +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.password "blabla"
cd ../

You must verify every path "steam" and "rustds"
