Boost your Rust server's appeal and visibility by personalizing your session page with a unique description, header image, and URL.

Introduction

Rust server session pages, which can be viewed in-game or via the server browser, are often quite bland by default. However, Rust enables server owners to customize their session pages, including the server URL, description, and header image. By following this guide, you can give your Rust server's session page a distinctive and eye-catching appearance.

Customizing Your Rust Session Page

To modify your Rust server's session page, follow these steps:

Access your control panel: Log in to your server control panel.

Navigate to server configuration: Go to Files > Config Files and select server.cfg.

Edit your session page settings: Copy, paste, and modify the following lines in your server.cfg file:

server.url "https://yourwebsite.com"
server.description "YOUR CUSTOM DESCRIPTION HERE"
server.headerimage "https://your-image-url.com/image.png"

Save your changes: Save the updated server.cfg file.

Update your server: Go to your server Console and enter the command server.readcfg. This will apply the changes without the need to restart your server.

If the changes do not appear, restart both your game and server, and the new settings should be visible.

Uploading and Linking a Rust Server Header Image

To upload your desired header image and obtain its URL, follow these steps:

Choose an image hosting service: Upload your header image (512x256 dimensions) to an image hosting platform like Imgur.

Get the image URL: Right-click the uploaded image and select "Copy image address."

Use the copied link as your Rust server's header image URL in the server.cfg file.

Conclusion

Customizing your Rust server's session page with a unique description, header image, and URL can significantly enhance its appeal and visibility. Follow our step-by-step guide to make your server stand out and attract more players.
