Getting your RedM server up and running with txAdmin is a straightforward process when using the Nodecraft panel. txAdmin offers a feature-packed web interface that simplifies server setup, management, and monitoring. This guide will take you through the steps needed to setup txAdmin with your Nodecraft RedM server. 🛑**If you haven't enabled txAdmin on your server yet, follow the steps ****[here](/support/games/redm/enable-txadmin-on-your-fivem-server)**** before proceeding! It's important to understand that enabling txAdmin will ****override and disable**** Nodecraft's configuration options within the control panel.** ## Obtain Your License Key **Note: If you do not already have a Cfx.re license key, follow our guide ****[here](/support/games/redm/general/how-to-obtain-a-redm-registration-key)**** to generate one.** 1. Navigate to the [Cfx.re](http://cfx.re) Login Page located here: [https://portal.cfx.re/login](https://portal.cfx.re/login). 2. Click the **Sign In With ****[Cfx.re](http://cfx.re)** button. 3. Click on the **Servers** tab at the top of the page. 4. Within the **Server Registration Keys** section, locate the key you'd like to use for your server. 5. Click the **Copy button** within the Actions to the right of the listing. ## Authorize Access for txAdmin 1. **Start **your Nodecraft RedM server. 2. Navigate to the **Console **tab on your Nodecraft control panel. 3. The console will display a **txAdmin Web Panel link** and a **PIN **if enabled correctly. ![RedM console on Nodecraft panel](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1562x1151/6e230cd91d/redm-console.png/m/1000x0/smart) 4. Open the provided link in your browser and enter the **PIN** to link the server. 5. Log in with your Cfx.re account and grant txAdmin the necessary permissions. ![A dialog box for authorizing txAdmin through Cfx.re, displaying the username currently signed in and a "Continue" button to proceed.](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/501x440/f7d448c779/tx-admin-authorize-cfx.png/m/) ## Initial txAdmin Setup After successful authorization, you will be guided through the **txAdmin setup wizard**. Provide the following information: - **Server Name:** Enter the name you want displayed in the server list. - **Deployment Type:** Select the appropriate option: - **Popular Recipes** (recommended): Use a pre-configured template such as CFX Default RedM, ESX Legacy, or QBCore. - **Custom or Advanced Options:** Choose this if you want to configure the server manually. ![Shows the recipe deployment type for a RedM server](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/748x968/797b648fe9/redm-deployment-type.png/m/) ### Select a Server Template Choose the appropriate server template to deploy the core server resources based on your needs. Popular options include: - **CFX Default **RedM: A basic configuration to get started. - **ESX Legacy**: A roleplay server template. - **QBCore Framework**: For an advanced roleplay experience. **Note: VORP Core is for RedM servers only!** ![Shows the template option for RedM](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/750x692/3c87e843d6/redm-template.png/m/) ### Review and Run the Recipe After selecting a template, txAdmin will present a **recipe file** containing the tasks and resources it will install. 1. Review the recipe to ensure it meets your requirements. 2. Click **Next** to proceed to the next steps in the recipe. ![Shows the recipe config for RedM](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1128x728/4c360c44c8/redm-recipes.png/m/1000x0/smart) 3. For **Step 2** of this, you'll want to use the **License Key** that you obtained earlier during this setup. ![Shows the license key input for RedM](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1122x481/aaabdc58b2/redm-recipe-key.png/m/1000x0/smart) ### Configure the server.cfg File After running the recipe, you will be prompted to configure the **server.cfg** file. This file defines key server settings. - **sv\_hostname:** The name displayed in the RedM server list. - **sv\_licenseKey:** Ensure your license key is correctly entered. - **sv\_maxclients:** Set the maximum number of players. - **Admin and role configurations:** Add server administrators or permissions. Here is an example configuration! ![Shows the server.cfg default example for RedM](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1129x1202/3805ed44e2/redm-config-servercfg.png/m/1000x0/smart) Once you're happy with your configuration settings, click **Save & Run Server** ## Monitor the Server Console After saving the configuration, the server will start automatically. The **Live Console** will display the startup process and logs, allowing you to monitor resource loading and server status. - Look for messages confirming that the license key was authenticated, and resources were loaded successfully. - The final output should indicate the server is online and ready to accept connections. ![Shows the txadmin console for RedM](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1367x1239/be6dccb61f/redm-console-txadmin.png/m/1000x0/smart) ## Managing Your Server Once the server is running, you can return to the txAdmin Dashboard to manage server resources, monitor player activity, and adjust configurations and permissions as needed. ## Conclusion Your RedM server is now online, configured, and ready to go. From the **txAdmin Dashboard**, you can manage player activity, add or remove resources, and adjust server settings as needed. Make sure to keep your server updated to ensure optimal performance.
