Rust RCon Web

A fast, reliable, and feature-rich web-based remote console (RCon) for Rust servers. Built with modern technologies to provide a seamless experience for server administrators.

Live Demo

Check out the live version: rust-rcon-web.evs-ptr.workers.dev

Features

• Live Console: Real-time log streaming with configurable history and color-coded message types.
• Integrated Chat View: See in-game chat directly in the console, separate from server logs.
• Command History: Easily navigate and re-execute previous commands.
• Multi-Server Management: Save and switch between multiple Rust servers effortlessly.
• Resilient Reconnect: Automatic reconnection with exponential back-off, connection timeout, and max attempts ensures you stay connected.
• Secure by Default: Supports secure WebSocket (wss://) connections and never stores credentials unless specified.
• Open-Source: MIT licensed and built with a modern, open-source stack.
• Great DX: Fast, modern tooling like Bun and Vite provides near-instant Hot Module Replacement (HMR) for a fluid development workflow.

Getting Started

Follow these instructions to get a local copy up and running for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

This project recommends using Bun for its speed, but it is not required. You can use Node.js with npm as well.

• Recommended: Bun
• Alternative: Node.js (v20 or higher)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/evs-ptr/rust-rcon-web
   cd rust-rcon-web

2. Install dependencies:

   # With Bun
   bun install
   
   # Or with npm
   npm install

3. Run the development server:

   # With Bun
   bun run dev
   
   # Or with npm
   npm run dev

The application will be available at http://localhost:5173.

Building for Production
