Auto Update an Oxide Rust Server. Can be used with any server, but designed around using LGSM.

REQUIRES: Python 3.7, packages: requests, websocket-client

This program was written to automatically update Oxide when a new version is detected. It also allows for notification messages to be sent via Discord and RCON.

This application does not require any input to run, but it will default to creating a configuration file in the same directory it is executed from.

To change this directory, please specify on the command line. rusterverautoupdate.py /myconfig/path/ SERVER1 SERVER1 is optional, but can be used to run mutliple instances using the same configuration. Each instance should have unique settings placed in their section.

rustserverautoupdate.ini will be created on first run, and updated if any new options are added or removed.

All paths in the INI should be full paths from root. ie /home/myuser/mypath
