Setting up txAdmin for a FiveM server
txAdmin ships inside every FiveM server download. It starts, stops and watches your server, restarts it on a schedule, keeps a player database with bans and warnings, and gives staff an in-game menu. For most server owners it is the control room — so setting it up properly on day one saves a lot of pain.
Short answer: Run the server artifacts without a server.cfg and txAdmin starts on port 40120. Open it in a browser, enter the PIN printed in the console, log in with your Cfx.re account to create the master admin, then either deploy a recipe (a ready-made server) or point txAdmin at your existing server data folder. From then on you manage the server — console, restarts, players, bans — from the web panel.

#First run
- Download the latest recommended server artifacts for your OS and extract them — see artifacts and updates.
- Start the server (
FXServer.exeon Windows,./run.shon Linux) without pointing it at a server.cfg. - The console prints a txAdmin address (port 40120) and a 4-digit PIN.
- Open the address in a browser, enter the PIN and log in with your Cfx.re account.
- Set a backup password for the master account.
#Recipe or existing server
| Option | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Popular recipes | Downloads a ready framework server (QBCore, Qbox, ESX…) with a database | A fresh start |
| Remote URL template | Deploys a recipe from a URL | Custom team templates |
| Existing server data | Points txAdmin at your folder with server.cfg | Migrating an existing server |
A recipe asks for your licence key and database details and writes the server.cfg for you. Keys are covered in the licence key guide, databases in MariaDB setup.

#Scheduled restarts
Long-running servers accumulate entities and memory; most roleplay servers restart every 6–12 hours at fixed times. txAdmin warns players before each restart and restarts automatically after a crash. Timing and messaging are covered in scheduled restarts.
#The in-game menu
Staff with the right permissions can open txAdmin’s in-game menu (the /tx command) for noclip, teleport, spectate, heal and player actions, all logged in txAdmin. Permissions decide who sees which options — see txAdmin admins and permissions.
