Getting Started with Fivemon

Welcome to the Fivemon Getting Started tutorial! This guide will walk you through the steps to set up your Fivemon server in minutes.

⚠️ Before you begin, make sure you have a valid license.
You can obtain your license here: Get Your License

Step 1: Choosing Fivemon Build and Install Method

Visit https://builds.fivemon.gg/ and choose the lastest stable version.

There are two ways to install Fivemon:

  • txAdmin Recipe (recommended for most users)

  • Docker Build (for advanced setups)

Step 2: Install Fivemon

🛠️ Method 1: txAdmin Recipe (Easy Method)

This is the easiest and fastest way to get started.

  1. Download the latest FiveM server artifacts:

    Avoid using build 7290. We recommend using a more recent version such as 13068.

  2. Extract the downloaded artifact and start the server normally without any extra parameters. This will launch txAdmin.

  3. Enter the PIN shown in the console and log in with your Cfx.re account.

  4. In Step 3 of the deployment process, select "Remote URL template" and click next.

  5. Paste the URL you copied from https://builds.fivemon.gg/ should look like this https://recipe.fivemon.gg/...

  6. Click Next. If everything is correct, the recipe should load.

    • If you receive a 403 Forbidden error, it means your license IP is misconfigured.

  7. Choose the directory where you want to store your project files and proceed to the Recipe Deployer.

  8. When the recipe appears, click Next.

  9. In Step 2 of the recipe setup:

    • Enter your Fivemon license.

    • Configure your database access.

    • Set your desired locale.

  10. Click Run Recipe. The necessary files will be downloaded and configured automatically.

    • If you encounter an error during file download, it likely means there’s an issue with the IP address on your license.

  11. Once the process finishes, review the generated server.cfg to make any final changes.

  12. Click Save and Run Server to start it.

  13. The first time the server runs:

    • You will need to manually obtain the contents of the [assets] folder and place them in the correct directory. We do not provide them here.

    • Restart the server after placing the assets.

  14. On first launch, the server may download additional data from the internet.

    • If you encounter errors immediately after this, please contact support for assistance.

🎉 That’s it! Your Fivemon server is running and ready to go.

🐳 Method 2: Docker (Advanced Users)

If you prefer to run Fivemon using Docker, follow these steps.

  1. Go to https://builds.fivemon.gg/ and download the Docker build. You will be asked to enter your license key.

  2. Copy the folder config_template and rename the copy to config.

  3. Inside config/cfg/server_config.cfg, edit the configuration:

    • Set your sv_licenseKey with your regular FiveM key.

    • Add this line to set your Fivemon license:

      set fivemon_license your_license_here

  4. Make sure to place the required assets inside engine/resources/[assets]. We do not provide them here.

  5. If you don’t have Docker installed, download it here: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/. Make sure Docker is running on your machine.

  6. Run the Server. Inside the project folder, use the following command:

    docker compose up --build

    This will pull dependencies, configure containers, and launch the Fivemon server.

  7. Useful Docker Commands

    docker compose up -d — Start in detached mode

    docker compose down — Stop the server

    docker compose logs -f — View live logs

    docker compose restart — Restart the server

Once the containers are up and running, your Fivemon server should be accessible.

If you run into errors with assets or license validation, double-check your configuration and license IP settings.

🎉 That’s it! Your Fivemon server is running and ready to go.
