## Common questions

### How do I set a custom Rust server icon that shows in the server browser and Rust+ app?

Use the server.logoimage ConVar with a direct URL to a PNG or JPG file. Use around 256x256 px and keep the logo centered because icons are shown in a circle and corners can be cropped.

### Can I test a self-hosted Rust server locally with Oxide before adding more complexity?

A user reports that a self-hosted server on Windows 10 connected fine via localhost with no plugins through Oxide, and still worked after adding plugins.

### Which console should I use to run quick fixes for Rust server issues?

Most common Rust server issues have quick fixes you can run from the server console, the same place you would enter admin or troubleshooting commands.
