Helios Setup Guide for Rust Console Edition

First-run setup guide for Helios on Rust Console Edition. Connect your server, configure permissions, validate connection, and launch core features from Discord.

Helios connects to your Rust Console Edition server through WebRCON so owners and admins can manage the server directly from Discord.

Complete this page before setting up killfeeds, raid alerts, economy, shops, battle pass, TP/Home, or automation.

Requirements

Before you start, make sure you have:

  • Helios added to your Discord server — Add Helios Here
  • Your server’s IP address
  • Your server’s RCON port
  • Your server’s RCON password
  • Owner and admin roles already chosen
  • Admin roles set with Manage Server permission
  • A private Discord channel for owner and admin setup commands

Complete this first: Discord Roles & Channels

Finding Your Connection Values

You’ll need your server’s Host, RCON Port, and RCON Password before running /server add.

Do not put the port in the Host field. Enter only the IP address in Host, then enter the port separately in Port.

FieldWhat to EnterExample
HostIP address only12.34.56.78
RCON PortRCON server connection port28016
PasswordRCON password onlyYourRconPassword

You can usually find these values in your G-Portal or Nitrado server settings or status page.

Keep this information private, save it in owner-only notes, and rotate the password after staff changes.

Setup Steps

Follow these steps in order:

  1. Set up your Discord roles and channels using Discord Roles & Channels
  2. Add your first server with /server add, or optionally use /setup
    • /setup will create discord channels & setup feeds automatically

  4. Test the connection with /cmd send command:"fps"
  5. Configure server toggles with /settings server
  6. Configure economy settings with /economy
