txAdmin is the standard control panel for FiveM servers. It provides a web interface for server management, player admin, and monitoring - replacing manual console commands.

What txAdmin Does

  • Web dashboard: Manage your server from any browser
  • Live console: Send commands without in-game access
  • Player management: Kick, ban, warn, view player history
  • Resource management: Start, stop, and restart resources
  • Server monitoring: Uptime, performance, crashes
  • Automated restarts: Schedule restarts for memory management

Installation

txAdmin comes bundled with FiveM artifacts (build 4966+):

  1. Start FXServer without a server.cfg:
./run.sh +exec server.cfg
  1. On first run, txAdmin starts on port 40120
  2. Open http://your-ip:40120 in a browser
  3. Follow the setup wizard:
    • Create admin account
    • Select server template or import existing
    • Configure server.cfg location
    • Start the server

Dashboard Overview

Main Page

  • Server status (online/offline/starting)
  • Player count and graph
  • Server FPS chart
  • Recent actions (kicks, bans, warnings)
  • Quick actions (restart, stop, kick all)

Live Console

Send commands directly:

say Hello from txAdmin!
restart my_resource
status

Players Page

View all connected players:

  • Steam name, identifiers
  • Join time, ping
  • Action history (previous warnings, bans)
  • Quick actions (kick, ban, warn, DM)

Player Management

Banning

Click player → Ban → Enter reason → Set duration → Confirm

Ban durations:

  • Temporary: hours, days, weeks
  • Permanent: requires additional confirmation
  • Hardware ban: prevents alt accounts

Warning System

Warnings don't disconnect but notify the player and create a record:

Click player → Warn → Enter reason → Send

Track warning counts. Three warnings might trigger a temporary ban per your rules.

Ban Appeals

txAdmin maintains ban records with identifiers. When reviewing appeals:

  1. Check the ban reason and evidence
  2. Review player's history
  3. Consider ban duration served
  4. Process unban if appropriate

Resource Management

Start/Stop/Restart

Resources tab → Click resource → Start/Stop/Restart

Or via console:

ensure resourceName
stop resourceName
restart resourceName

Monitor Health

txAdmin tracks resource errors. If a resource crashes repeatedly, it shows warnings on the dashboard.

Automated Scheduling

Scheduled Restarts

Configure automatic restarts to manage memory leaks:

{
  "restartSchedule": ["06:00", "18:00"]
}

Two restarts per day (every 12 hours) is typical. Announce restarts in advance.

Crash Detection

txAdmin detects server crashes and auto-restarts:

  • FXServer process dies → immediate restart
  • Server becomes unresponsive → restart after timeout
  • Memory exceeds threshold → scheduled restart

Security

Admin Tiers

Create multiple admin levels:

  • Master: Full control
  • Admin: Player management, resource control
  • Moderator: Kick, warn (no bans, no resource control)

Access Control

  • Use strong passwords
  • Enable 2FA if available
  • Restrict txAdmin web access to known IPs (firewall rules)
  • Review admin action logs regularly

Advanced Features

Server Deployer

txAdmin can deploy fresh server templates:

  • QBCore recipe: Full QBCore setup in minutes
  • ESX recipe: Complete ESX installation
  • Custom recipes: Your own server template

Backup System

While not a replacement for hosting-level backups, txAdmin can trigger file backups before restarts.

On Space-Node's FiveM hosting, txAdmin comes pre-configured with the control panel. Combined with Space-Node's own management interface, you have two layers of server control for maximum flexibility.
