RustDedicated operations
Startup flags, ports, RCON, map/wipe process, Oxide/Carbon plugins, server identity, and performance configuration need clear runbooks.
Multiplayer Infrastructure
Reliable operations are part of fair play.
Server stability, deployment discipline, observability, and automation directly affect player trust. TIRust treats infrastructure as community safety infrastructure.
Operational observability
Server FPS, entities, memory, uptime, queued players, save stalls, unknown commands, and rejected connections should feed monitoring and review.
Event-driven workflows
BattleMetrics, Discord, RCON, webhooks, and bots should automate routine admin work while preserving logs and safety controls.
Access control
Protect RCON, admin panels, API keys, deployment tokens, database access, and bot permissions with least privilege and documented rotation paths.
Backups and rollback
Configs, plugins, data files, websites, and automation services need backup and rollback strategies before a bad deploy causes community damage.
Cloud and bare metal
Prefer Docker, reproducible configs, PostgreSQL, Redis/Valkey, object storage abstractions, and provider-portable deployment patterns.
