I have a Rust dedicated Server im putting it in to Pterodactly and im config it with default config for rust dedicated server wich provides by default. Then when everying is configured im pressing start in the panel. Console starting to work with docker and evrething. But idk why STEAM CMD loads and start to update the server downloading it again with SteamCmd and replacing my Rust server files. Also i think Oxide from Umod getting updated aswell. I just want to disable that automatic updates.

#

Im working with linux and i dont have any command to update the files automaticly

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 11:02 AM

#

terse hollow What rust egg are u running?

Yes the rust one wich provides by Pterodactly

#

There is Rust, minecraft etc...

terse hollow Oct 19, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

In the egg for Rust, can you go to variables

#

And create a new variable for me?

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 11:04 AM

#

Sure let me some minutes

terse hollow Oct 19, 2025, 11:04 AM

#

So to nests > the rust egg > variables tab

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 11:05 AM

#

Sure i will do it right now let me like 4 minutes please

terse hollow Oct 19, 2025, 11:07 AM

#

Name: Auto Update
Description: / (not neccecary)
Environment Variable: AUTO_UPDATE
Default Value: 0
Permissions: View & edit

The default of 0 will disable auto-updating, setting it to 1 will enable it.

This should disable it.

#

Then in your server itself, go to the variables, and make sure the newly created variable is there, and has the value of 0, if it's empty, make sure to enter 0.

#

i have that but the permission i dont see that

#

what i need to put in permisions?

terse hollow Oct 19, 2025, 11:10 AM

#

It says: permission in your screenshot

#

click on that field, it will show you a dropdown

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 11:10 AM

#

Yes im just blind

#

Users can edit and Users can View

terse hollow Oct 19, 2025, 11:11 AM

#

Yea, means you can see that variable, and are able to modify it's value on the side of ur server

#

Instead of it being invisible to users.

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 11:11 AM

#

Okey sure

#

its just for me so its ok

#

i just want it for me not for evryone

#

then create variable?

terse hollow Oct 19, 2025, 11:12 AM

#

Yep, then go to ur server, startup tab, and check if the variable is there, with the 0 value.

#

If it's empty, fill it in with 0.

#

Then restart/start ur server to see if it works.

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 11:14 AM

#

#

in docker image what i need to put?

terse hollow Oct 19, 2025, 11:14 AM

#

Thats still the egg itself

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 11:14 AM

#

oh sure sorry

terse hollow Oct 19, 2025, 11:14 AM

#

It'll look like this, roughly (mine is a different egg ofcourse)

#

then find the auto update variable, and make sure it is filled with 0

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 11:17 AM

#

My friend removed the files from the folder wait i will put it back

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 11:32 AM

#

i have that and it still there permanently

#

but i have all my files in the folder

#

terse hollow Oct 19, 2025, 11:35 AM

#

You can toggle it to show as finished installing, and then start... or, next time u install the rust server, toggle this to skip the install part.

#

If you already have all the files, which u can then upload, and then start the server.

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 11:37 AM

#

im fixed

terse hollow Oct 19, 2025, 11:40 AM

#

So it worked?

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 11:41 AM

#

im starting server

#

yes?

#

#

#

and nothing

weak plume Oct 19, 2025, 11:47 AM

#

It says your level file is corrupted

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 11:48 AM

#

its full new cant be corrupted i just moved it there

weak plume Oct 19, 2025, 11:48 AM

#

It can't be both new and also something you moved there at the same time, that makes little sense

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 11:49 AM

#

i have .rar file im extracted it and thats it

weak plume Oct 19, 2025, 11:49 AM

#

So it's not new

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 11:50 AM

#

its working in other linux machine with same files

weak plume Oct 19, 2025, 11:50 AM

#

Anyway, the error is clear

terse hollow Oct 19, 2025, 11:51 AM

#

Make sure the files have the correct permissions.

#

As it might see it as corrupt, when it can't read them

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 11:53 AM

#

its say is /home/container

#

idk where is it because i dont have it

terse hollow Oct 19, 2025, 12:00 PM

#

Lmao, that is the path inside your container (your server)

#

The actual files on ur system are in /var/lib/pterodactyl/volumes

But u can change file permissions inside the files tab of ur server too (if permissions are even the issue)

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 12:10 PM

#

Okey i will do it then. Thanks for you help, i have to go now but i will text you if i have more issues

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 9:43 PM

#

#

ziped new server files

#

uploaded manually every file

#

still saying corrupted

azure imp Oct 19, 2025, 10:03 PM

#
