Complete FiveM server setup guide on REXE VDS: installation, txAdmin configuration, port settings, and performance optimization tips for GTA V roleplay servers.
FiveM is a modification framework for GTA V that allows you to run custom multiplayer servers. This guide covers the complete FiveM server setup process on your REXE VDS server, including txAdmin configuration and optimization.
Minimum recommended specs for a FiveM server: 4 CPU cores, 8GB RAM, 50GB NVMe SSD.
# Update system
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
# Install required packages
sudo apt install -y wget git curl xz-utils screen
# Create FiveM user
sudo adduser fivem --disabled-password --gecos ""
sudo su - fivem
# Create server directory
mkdir -p ~/fxserver
cd ~/fxserver
# Download latest FiveM server build
wget https://runtime.fivem.net/artifacts/fivem/build_proot_linux/master/latest/fx.tar.xz
# Extract
tar -xf fx.tar.xz
rm fx.tar.xz
txAdmin is the built-in web-based management panel for FiveM servers.
# Start the server for first-time txAdmin setup
cd ~/fxserver
./run.sh
After starting, txAdmin will display a PIN code in the console. Open your browser and navigate to:
http://SERVER_IP:40120
Save your txAdmin credentials securely. You'll use them to manage your server through the web interface.
FiveM requires the following ports:
| Port | Protocol | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 30120 | TCP + UDP | Game server |
| 40120 | TCP | txAdmin web panel |
Create the following rules in the REXE Path Panel:
# Game server port
Protocol: UDP
Destination Port: 30120
Filter: Grand Theft Auto (if available)
Comment: "FiveM game port"
# Game server TCP
Protocol: TCP
Destination Port: 30120
Filter: -
Comment: "FiveM TCP port"
# txAdmin panel (restrict to your IP)
Protocol: TCP
Destination Port: 40120
Filter: -
Comment: "txAdmin panel access"
Restrict txAdmin port (40120) to your IP address only. Do not open it globally.
Edit your server.cfg file:
# Server name
sv_hostname "My REXE FiveM Server"
# Max players
sv_maxclients 64
# License key
sv_licenseKey "your_license_key_here"
# Server tags
sets tags "roleplay, custom"
# OneSync (recommended for 32+ players)
set onesync on
Create a systemd service for automatic startup:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/fivem.service
[Unit]
Description=FiveM Server
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=fivem
WorkingDirectory=/home/fivem/fxserver
ExecStart=/home/fivem/fxserver/run.sh
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable fivem
sudo systemctl start fivem
For servers with 64+ players, we recommend at least 8GB RAM and 6 CPU cores.
Minimum 4 CPU cores, 8GB RAM, and 50GB NVMe SSD. For 64+ player servers, 6+ cores and 16GB RAM are recommended.
Open http://SERVER_IP:40120 in your browser. On first setup, enter the PIN code shown in the server console.
Make sure your license key is correctly set in server.cfg, ports 30120 (TCP and UDP) are open in Path Panel, and the server is running without errors.
Download the latest artifact from runtime.fivem.net, extract it to your fxserver directory, and restart the server. Check the FiveM forums for the latest recommended build.
