Linux gives you lower overhead, better uptime control, and full command-line access to every process \u2014 but the setup has a few Linux-specific steps that differ from the Windows docs. This guide covers the full path: downloading the proot Linux artifacts, writing a minimal <code>server.cfg<\/code>, keeping the server alive with <code>screen<\/code>, <code>tmux<\/code>, or systemd, and getting txAdmin running for day-to-day management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A Linux VPS or dedicated machine (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or Debian 12 recommended)<\/li>\n<li>A free FiveM server registration key from <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.cfx.re\/servers\/registration-keys\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">portal.cfx.re<\/a> \u2014 one key per server, up to three active keys per account<\/li>\n<li>A legal copy of GTA V associated with the same Cfx.re account<\/li>\n<li>Packages: <code>wget<\/code>, <code>git<\/code>, <code>xz-utils<\/code>, and either <code>screen<\/code> or <code>tmux<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y wget git xz-utils screen tmux<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 \u2014 Download the Linux Artifacts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FiveM&#8217;s Linux server builds live at the <code>build_proot_linux<\/code> artifact path \u2014 not the Windows path. The builds use <strong>proot<\/strong>, a user-space implementation of <code>chroot<\/code> that lets FXServer run in an isolated environment without root privileges. Always pull from the <strong>Recommended<\/strong> channel, which is the build that Cfx.re has actively QA&#8217;d for stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/runtime.fivem.net\/artifacts\/fivem\/build_proot_linux\/master\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">runtime.fivem.net\/artifacts\/fivem\/build_proot_linux\/master\/<\/a>, copy the URL for the latest recommended build (labelled &#8220;LATEST RECOMMENDED&#8221;), and download it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>mkdir -p ~\/FXServer\/server\ncd ~\/FXServer\/server\nwget https:\/\/runtime.fivem.net\/artifacts\/fivem\/build_proot_linux\/master\/XXXX-HASH\/fx.tar.xz\ntar xf fx.tar.xz<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replace <code>XXXX-HASH<\/code> with the actual build identifier from the artifacts page. The <code>tar xf<\/code> command requires the <code>xz-utils<\/code> package on Debian\/Ubuntu systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 \u2014 Clone cfx-server-data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The server binaries and the server data (resources, config) live in separate folders. Clone the official <code>cfx-server-data<\/code> repository into a sibling directory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>git clone https:\/\/github.com\/citizenfx\/cfx-server-data.git ~\/FXServer\/server-data<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This gives you the default resources such as <code>mapmanager<\/code>, <code>chat<\/code>, <code>spawnmanager<\/code>, <code>sessionmanager<\/code>, and <code>basic-gamemode<\/code> \u2014 all referenced in the starter <code>server.cfg<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 \u2014 Write Your server.cfg<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create <code>server.cfg<\/code> inside <code>~\/FXServer\/server-data\/<\/code>. The file uses FXServer&#8217;s convar syntax. A minimal working config looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>endpoint_add_tcp \"0.0.0.0:30120\"\nendpoint_add_udp \"0.0.0.0:30120\"\n\n# Default resources from cfx-server-data\nensure mapmanager\nensure chat\nensure spawnmanager\nensure sessionmanager\nensure basic-gamemode\nensure hardcap\nensure rconlog\n\nsets locale \"en-US\"\nsv_hostname \"My FiveM Server\"\nsets sv_projectName \"My RP Server\"\nsets sv_projectDesc \"A FiveM roleplay server\"\n\n# OneSync \u2014 enable for state awareness; required once sv_maxclients is 32+\nset onesync on\n\nsv_maxclients 48\nsv_licenseKey \"YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_HERE\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key points: <code>ensure<\/code> (not <code>start<\/code>) is the current directive for loading resources. OneSync must be enabled once <code>sv_maxclients<\/code> is 32 or higher \u2014 set it to <code>on<\/code> (recommended) or <code>legacy<\/code>; <code>on<\/code> is specifically required for slots above 64. Your <code>sv_licenseKey<\/code> comes from the Cfx.re portal \u2014 never share it or use the same key on two servers simultaneously. For a full breakdown of every convar, use the <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/tools\/fivem\/server-config\">FiveM server.cfg generator<\/a> to build a config interactively. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/docs\/fivem\">FiveM server documentation<\/a> covers deeper configuration options including voice, database, and framework setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4 \u2014 First Start with run.sh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always launch the server <em>from the server-data directory<\/em>, passing <code>+exec server.cfg<\/code> so FXServer loads your config on startup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>cd ~\/FXServer\/server-data && bash ~\/FXServer\/server\/run.sh +exec server.cfg<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you see &#8220;permission denied&#8221;, make the script executable first: <code>chmod +x ~\/FXServer\/server\/run.sh<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5 \u2014 Keep It Running: screen, tmux, or systemd<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without a process manager, the server dies when your SSH session ends. You have three options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option A \u2014 screen (simplest)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>screen -S fivem bash -c 'cd ~\/FXServer\/server-data && bash ~\/FXServer\/server\/run.sh +exec server.cfg'<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detach with <kbd>Ctrl+A<\/kbd> then <kbd>D<\/kbd>. Reattach later with <code>screen -r fivem<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option B \u2014 tmux (recommended for systemd compatibility)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>tmux new-session -s fivem -d 'cd ~\/FXServer\/server-data && bash ~\/FXServer\/server\/run.sh +exec server.cfg'<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reattach with <code>tmux attach -t fivem<\/code>. tmux is important if you also want systemd management \u2014 see below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option C \u2014 systemd service (auto-start on reboot)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a known compatibility issue between newer FXServer Linux artifacts and direct systemd execution: the Mono runtime can segfault when launched directly under systemd. The reliable workaround is to have systemd launch the server inside a tmux session:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>[Unit]\nDescription=FiveM FXServer\nAfter=network.target\n\n[Service]\nType=forking\nUser=fivem\nExecStart=\/usr\/bin\/tmux new-session -s fivem -d 'cd \/home\/fivem\/FXServer\/server-data && bash \/home\/fivem\/FXServer\/server\/run.sh +exec server.cfg'\nExecStop=\/usr\/bin\/tmux kill-session -t fivem\nRestart=on-failure\n\n[Install]\nWantedBy=multi-user.target<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Save this as <code>\/etc\/systemd\/system\/fivem.service<\/code>, then enable it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo systemctl daemon-reload\nsudo systemctl enable fivem\nsudo systemctl start fivem<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6 \u2014 Setting Up txAdmin on Linux<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">txAdmin is bundled with every FXServer build from 2524 onward \u2014 you do not install it separately. To launch with txAdmin, run FXServer <em>without<\/em> the <code>+exec<\/code> argument. On Linux, use screen or tmux:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>screen -S fivem bash -c 'cd ~\/FXServer\/server-data && bash ~\/FXServer\/server\/run.sh +set serverProfile default +set txAdminPort 40120'<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <code>+set serverProfile<\/code> convar tells txAdmin which profile folder to load from the <code>txData<\/code> directory (the default profile name is <code>default<\/code>). On first boot, txAdmin prints an access PIN to the console; open <code>http:\/\/YOUR_SERVER_IP:40120<\/code> in your browser, enter the PIN, and complete the setup wizard. txAdmin then manages starting and stopping FXServer and gives you a web UI for resource management, scheduled restarts, and player bans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure port <strong>40120<\/strong> is open in your firewall if you need to access txAdmin remotely. Port <strong>30120<\/strong> (TCP + UDP) must also be open for players to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Linux vs. Managed Hosting: Quick Comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>Factor<\/th><th>Self-hosted Linux VPS<\/th><th>Managed FiveM hosting<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Setup time<\/td><td>1\u20133 hours<\/td><td>Under 5 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Root access<\/td><td>Full<\/td><td>Panel access<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>txAdmin<\/td><td>Manual install via run.sh<\/td><td>Included, preconfigured<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Artifact updates<\/td><td>Manual wget + re-extract<\/td><td>One-click or automated<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>DDoS protection<\/td><td>Depends on VPS provider<\/td><td>Built-in on quality hosts<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cost<\/td><td>VPS cost only<\/td><td>Bundled, predictable pricing<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If managing artifacts, systemd quirks, and Linux firewalls sounds like overhead you&#8217;d rather skip, a managed provider handles all of it. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/five-m-server-hosting\">FiveM server hosting plans<\/a> include txAdmin out of the box, DDoS-filtered network endpoints, and one-click artifact updates \u2014 so you spend time building your server, not maintaining the stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next Steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your server is running, the most common next tasks are adding a framework (QBCore or ESX), installing voice, and locking down administration. These guides pick up exactly where this one ends:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/fivem-resource-loading-errors-troubleshooting-guide\/\">FiveM resource loading errors \u2014 troubleshooting guide<\/a> \u2014 fix the most common startup failures after adding new resources<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/fivem-automatic-restarts-scheduler-guide\/\">FiveM automatic restarts &#038; scheduler guide<\/a> \u2014 schedule nightly restarts and maintenance windows via txAdmin or cron<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/fivem-ban-kick-management-guide\/\">FiveM ban &#038; kick management guide<\/a> \u2014 set up admin permissions and manage disruptive players<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/fivem-server-backup-guide\/\">FiveM server backup guide<\/a> \u2014 automate backups of your <code>txData<\/code>, resources, and database before every update<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does FXServer crash under systemd on Linux?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a known issue with newer Linux artifacts where the Mono runtime triggers a segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) when launched directly as a systemd service. The fix is to have systemd launch the server inside a tmux session (<code>ExecStart=\/usr\/bin\/tmux new-session -s fivem -d '...'<\/code>) rather than calling <code>run.sh<\/code> directly. Running the server in a plain <code>screen<\/code> or <code>tmux<\/code> session without systemd also avoids the problem entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the difference between the &#8220;Recommended&#8221; and &#8220;Latest&#8221; artifact channels?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Recommended<\/strong> channel at <code>runtime.fivem.net\/artifacts\/fivem\/build_proot_linux\/master\/<\/code> contains builds that Cfx.re has put through internal QA \u2014 these are the safest to run on production servers. The <strong>Latest<\/strong> (optional) channel contains the most recent build but may include regressions. For a live RP server, always run Recommended and update deliberately rather than chasing Latest automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need to open any ports on my Linux firewall?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. FXServer needs port <strong>30120 TCP and UDP<\/strong> open for player connections. If you are using txAdmin remotely, also open port <strong>40120 TCP<\/strong> (or whichever port you set with <code>+set txAdminPort<\/code>). On Ubuntu\/Debian with ufw: <code>sudo ufw allow 30120\/tcp && sudo ufw allow 30120\/udp && sudo ufw allow 40120\/tcp<\/code>. Never expose port 40120 to the public internet without additional access controls \u2014 restrict it to your IP or use an SSH tunnel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Running FXServer on a Linux machine is the standard approach for any production FiveM RP server.
