FiveM Server Setup - For Windows And Linux

FiveM is a modification for GTA V with a ton more features. To play the game, you will have to set up a dedicated server. If you don't follow the proper instructions, you may end up with a server that crashes or worse, fails to start at all. Our team of experts created this FiveM server setup guide to show you the steps.



FiveM Server Setup



First, make sure that you've registered a license key through the keymaster service. Also, make sure that your IP match the public IP where you'll be using the key for the first time.



Follow Server Requirements



Before you begin your FiveM server Setup, ensure that your system is compatible with the requirements of the server. An Intel Core i5 @ 3.2GHz processor is required or a comparable. You'll also require 8GB RAM, 72GB HDD storage.



For Windows



Create a new folder in the root of your drive. Here's an example directory:



C:FXServerserver



Step 2 Step 2: Download the Master Branch.



You must now download the master branch zip from the artifacts server. Extract it using an archiving tool to your FXserver folder.



Then, copy your cfx-server-data in a separate folder, away from the binaries folder for your server. A good example directory is



C:FXServerserver-data



Also, make also a serve.cfg file in your server's files folder and copy the example under "Make server.cfg for Linux" below into the file.



You'll also require a license key and set it in your server using



sv_licenseKey "your_license_here"



This command prompt will allow you to start your server.



cd /d D:FXServerserver-data



D:FXServerserverFXServer.exe +exec server.cfg



For Linux



Step #1: Create Folder for Download



Create a new folder, eg (mkdir /home/username/FXServer/server)



Step 2 2. Download the Master Branch for Linux



Download a master branch build in your new folder from the artifacts server. To download the most recent master branch build server version Copy the URL and then use "wget". Then, follow this command line to download the build to your folder.



cd /home/username/FXServer/server && tar xf fx.tar.xz



You'll need to have xz installed to run this command. After extracting the folder, clone your cfx-server data into a new folder, separate from the binaries folder for your server. For instance you could use this:



git clone https://github.com/citizenfx/cfx-server-data.git /home/username/FXServer/server-data



Step 3: Create server.cfg



Next, you'll need to make an server.cfg file inside the server data folder. First, ensure you've cloned the cfx_server-data file from your server binaries directory. Copy the following information into your new .cfg file:



# Only change the IP address in the event of an internet server that has multiple network interfaces. Otherwise, change the port only.



endpoint_add_tcp "0.0.0.0:30120"



endpoint_add_udp "0.0.0.0:30120"



# These resources will start by default.



Ensure that mapmanager is installed



Chat



Make sure you have spawnmanager



Sessionmanager should be used



Fivem



ensure hardcap



Make sure rconlog is enabled.



Scoreboard



# This allows players to use scripthook-based plugins such as the old Lambda Menu.



# Set this to 1 to allow scripthook. This does not mean that users will be able to access any external plugins.



sv_scriptHookAllowed 0



# Uncomment this and set a password to enable RCON. Change the password. It should look like:"rcon_password "YOURPASSWORD".



#rcon_password ""



# A comma-separated list of tags for your server.



For example:



# - sets tags "drifting cars, racing"



# Or:



# Sets tags "roleplay, military, tanks"



sets tags "default"



# A valid local identifier for the primary language of your server.



# For example "en-US", "fr-CA", "nl-NL", "de-DE", "en-GB", "pt-BR"



sets locales "root-AQ"



# Replace root-AQ in the line ABOVE by an actual language



# Set optional server information as well as a banner image URL.



# Size doesn't really matter. Any banner-sized image will work.



#sets banner_detail "https://url.to/image.png"



#sets banner_connecting "https://url.to/image.png"



# Set your server's IP address



FXServer sv_hostname, but not configured



# Nested configs!



#exec server_internal.cfg



# Loading an icon of the server (96x96 PNG file)



#load_server_icon myLogo.png



Convars can be used in scripts



Set temp_convar "hey World!"



# Uncomment this line if you do not want your server to be displayed in the server's browser.



# Do not alter it if your server is to be listed.



#sv_master1 ""



# Add administrators to the system.



Add_ace group.admin command permits all commands



add_ace group.admin command.quit deny # but don't allow quit



Add_principal identifier. Fivem:1 Group.admin # Add the admin to this group



# Hide endpoints of players in output from external logs.
fivem-servers.com


Sv_endpointprivacy: true



# enable OneSync with default configuration (required for server-side state recognition)



onesync_enabled true



# Server slot limit (must be between one and 32, excluding when using OneSync).



sv_maxclients 32



# Steam Web API key, if you want to use Steam authentication (https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey)



# -> replace "" with the key



set steam_webApiKey ""



# License key for your server (https://keymaster.fivem.net)



Changeme sv_licenseKey



Step 4: Apply for a FiveM License key



You can now generate an online license key by putting a server configuration file in your server's data directory. Then, you can make use of this command line to create the license key in your server.cfg.



sv_licenseKey "yourLICENSEhere"



Step 5: Start Server



Congratulations because your server set up is now completed. To begin, start the server from the server folder. The following command line is required:



bash /home/username/FXServer/server/run.sh +exec server.cfg



(For your game key configuration You can refer to this guide on how to set up your FiveM server key)



Tips and Reminders



Sometimes, you won't receive any'resources' and it says 'failed to start resource on your FiveM [1] server. If this happens, it's because you didn't direct 'cd' to the correct folder. Verify the directory of your files and try again.
