txAdmin is the web-based management panel that comes with every FiveM server. It is separate from the game panel (Pterodactyl); txAdmin manages the FiveM server itself, while the game panel manages the container the server runs in. You use txAdmin for choosing a framework, managing players, scheduled restarts and live monitoring.
Opening it for the first time
- Start the server via the game panel. After a few seconds, a line appears in the console with "txAdmin is running" and a PIN code.
- Open txAdmin in your browser. The address is your server IP followed by the txAdmin port (default 40120), for example
http://123.45.67.89:40120. Find the port in the Network tab of the game panel. - Enter the PIN shown in the console.
- Create an admin account and link your Cfx.re account (log in with your FiveM forum account).
Choosing a recipe
During the first setup, txAdmin asks which "recipe" you want to install. A recipe is a pre-assembled package:
- QBCore: the classic RP framework. Choose this if you want to use existing QBCore scripts.
- Qbox: the modern successor to QBCore. Recommended for new servers.
- ESX: the framework with the largest script library.
- CFX Default: a bare FiveM server without a framework. For freeroam or if you set everything up manually.
The recipe downloads the framework, creates the database (if you have already connected one) and writes the server.cfg. After completion the server starts automatically.
Entering your license key
txAdmin asks for your FiveM license key. Generate one for free at keymaster.fivem.net. Enter your server's IP address when creating the key. Once entered, the key is automatically placed in server.cfg.
Player management
In txAdmin you see live who is online, with statistics on playtime and warnings. You can:
- Warn: send a message the player sees in-game.
- Kick: remove the player with a reason.
- Ban: block the player permanently or temporarily. Bans are stored based on identifiers (license, discord, IP).
- Whitelist: only allow approved players (configurable in txAdmin settings).
Scheduled restarts
FiveM servers accumulate memory over time from scripts and player data. A scheduled restart every 6 to 12 hours keeps the server clean. In txAdmin:
- Go to Settings and find "Scheduler".
- Set restart times, for example 06:00 and 18:00.
- txAdmin automatically sends a countdown to players (30 minutes, 15 minutes, 5 minutes before the restart).
Live console and monitoring
The txAdmin console shows the same output as the game panel console, but with extra filters and search. The dashboard shows server FPS (tick rate), player graph and recent events. On a crash, txAdmin restarts the server automatically.
txAdmin is available on all FiveM plans. The steps through the first start are also covered in the knowledge base.
Can I open txAdmin from my phone?
Yes. txAdmin is a web interface that works on any browser, including mobile. The interface scales responsively.
What if I forgot my txAdmin password?
In the server console (via the game panel), a backup PIN appears at startup. Use it to log in and set a new password.
Can I disable txAdmin?
Technically yes, but there is no reason to. txAdmin is built into the FiveM artifacts and uses almost no resources. It provides crash detection and automatic restarts that you would have to handle manually without it.
