txAdmin Setup Guide 2026
txAdmin is the official web-based server management panel bundled with every FiveM server. This guide walks you through everything — from initial installation to advanced player management.
What is txAdmin?
txAdmin is the official FiveM server management panel developed by Tabarra and now maintained by Cfx.re (the company behind FiveM). It provides a modern web dashboard for:
- Starting, stopping and restarting your FiveM server
- Real-time resource monitoring (CPU/RAM per resource)
- Player management — kick, ban, warn players from the browser
- Scheduled automated server restarts
- Live server console with command input
- Integrated player database for bans and warnings
- Role-based admin permissions system
Bundled with FiveM
Prerequisites
FiveM Server Artifact
Artifact 3281 or newer (download from runtime.fivem.net)
Windows or Linux VPS
Minimum 4GB RAM, 2 CPU cores, 30GB SSD storage
Port Access
Port 30120 (game) and 40120 (txAdmin dashboard) must be open
Cfx.re Account
Free account at forum.cfx.re for server key and txAdmin login
Installing txAdmin
Since txAdmin is bundled with FiveM, you just need to download the latest FiveM server artifact:
1. Download the artifact
Go to runtime.fivem.net and download the latest recommended artifact.
2. Extract the files
# Windows
# Extract to C:\FXServer\server\
# Linux
mkdir -p /opt/fxserver
cd /opt/fxserver
unzip server-linux-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).zip3. Start the server
# Windows - run FXServer.exe
FXServer.exe +exec server.cfg
# Linux
./run.sh +exec server.cfg4. Open txAdmin dashboard
Navigate to http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:40120 in your browser. You will be prompted to link your Cfx.re account.
First-Time Setup Wizard
On first launch, txAdmin walks you through a 5-step wizard:
- 1
Link your Cfx.re account
Click the link in the console to authorize txAdmin with your Cfx.re (FiveM forum) account. This is how txAdmin authenticates admins.
- 2
Choose a server name
Enter your server name — this appears in the txAdmin dashboard title and in the server browser.
- 3
Select a deployment type
Choose between CFX Default (recommended), Remote URL (for CI/CD), or Local Path. For most servers, pick CFX Default.
- 4
Configure your server data folder
Point txAdmin to your server-data folder (where server.cfg lives). txAdmin will auto-detect your resources folder.
- 5
Start the server
Click Start Server. txAdmin will start your FiveM server in the background and monitor it automatically.
Player Management & Bans
txAdmin's player database is one of its most powerful features. To access it, navigate to Players in the sidebar.
Banning a Player
- Go to Players → search by name or license ID
- Click on the player's name to open their profile
- Click Ban Player
- Enter ban reason and duration (1 hour to permanent)
- Click Confirm Ban
Hardware Bans
Warn System
Use warns before bans for minor infractions. Warns are logged per player and visible to all admins. You can configure warn thresholds that automatically ban after N warnings.
Resource Monitoring
Go to Resources in the sidebar to see real-time CPU and RAM usage per resource. Look for resources using more than 10ms tick time — those are performance bottlenecks.
🔴 Bad Performance
Resource tick time above 10ms — replace or optimize immediately.
🟢 Good Performance
Resource tick time under 2ms — healthy and well-optimized.
Premium scripts from FiveMX are all performance-tested — typical tick times under 0.5ms per resource.
Scheduled Restarts
Auto-restarts help keep your server memory-clean. Go to Settings → Scheduled Restarts and add restart times in 24h format:
{
"restartTimes": ["06:00", "12:00", "18:00", "00:00"],
"warningTimes": [5, 15],
"locale": "en"
}The warningTimes values trigger in-game countdown announcements (in minutes) before each restart.
txAdmin Permissions
txAdmin uses a permission system based on roles. Roles can be assigned to admins with specific capabilities:
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
| manage.admins | Add or remove other admins |
| all_permissions | Full access (owner only) |
| players.ban | Ban players from the server |
| players.warn | Issue warnings to players |
| players.kick | Kick players without ban |
| resources.start | Start/stop/restart resources |
| server.restart | Restart the FiveM server |
| console.view | View live server console |
Troubleshooting Common Issues
❌ txAdmin dashboard not accessible
✅ Ensure port 40120 is open in your firewall/VPS security group. The game port (30120) and txAdmin port (40120) are separate.
❌ Server keeps restarting automatically
✅ Check the scheduled restarts in txAdmin settings, and also look for crashes in the server logs. High memory usage or a broken resource can trigger auto-restarts.
❌ Can't login — 'Invalid PIN'
✅ The PIN expires after 5 minutes. Start the server fresh and use the PIN from the latest console output. Make sure you're using the IP/port that matches the server output.
❌ Ban not working / player rejoining
✅ Check if the player is using a VPN. txAdmin's hardware ban covers license, but VPNs can bypass IP bans. Enable identifier-based banning in the txAdmin settings.
