What is rcon-web-admin?
RCON Web Admin is a self-hosted web application that provides a browser-based interface for administering game servers via the RCON protocol. It supports unlimited servers and users with admin roles and fine-grained permissions to limit access to specific commands and widgets. Core widgets include a generic console for executing RCON commands, an Autobot for writing automation scripts, a Rust-specific widget (Rustboard) with player lists, chat, kick/ban, and Steam/VAC integration, and Timed Commands for scheduling. The frontend is responsive and works on desktop and mobile. It runs on Node.js and can be installed on Linux, Windows, or via a third-party Docker image (itzg/rcon). The project is licensed under MIT, though the original developer has stopped maintenance and development has moved to a fork.

rcon-web-admin README
Notice: Continued development of the project has moved to this fork. The original developer, @brainfoolong, stopped maintaining the original project due to their lack of time.
RCON Web Admin is a powerful web interface to control your RCON servers. All servers with RCON support should work.
This application can install and run on a server, Raspberry Pi, or other devices which are online 24/7.
Out of the box, RCON Web Admin can check users for high ping, VAC status, or filter the chat for you around the clock.
