After successfully logging in, you can start setting up txAdmin and your server. You should now see the txAdmin homepage (dashboard). A message will appear in the top left indicating your server still needs to be configured. Click Go to Setup Page to start the setup process.
Next, define a server name you want to use for your project. This name is not for the server list but only for use within the txAdmin interface and for chat/Discord messages.
Under Deployment Type, you now need to choose how you want to set up your server. You have the following options: Popular Recipes, Existing Server Data, Remote URL Template, and Custom Template. Each of these options is explained in more detail below to help you decide what suits you best.
Popular templates are pre-made packages that are ready to use immediately – this is the easiest way to get your RedM game server up and running quickly. If this is your first server, we recommend this option. These templates include all necessary configurations and resources to quickly set up a working server so you can focus directly on customizing and gameplay instead of the basic installation. Simply choose a template that fits your needs.
Choose this option if you have already run a server with txAdmin and now want to host it with us. You can upload the server data via FTP and specify the path during setup. If you are not familiar with FTP yet, check out our FTP Access guide. It shows you step-by-step how to transfer your server files easily so your server can run quickly with us.
If you want to use a template that is not directly linked in txAdmin, you can enter your own recipe URL here. This recipe will then be downloaded and executed on your server. This option is very convenient if you want to deploy special server configurations or setups that are not included in the standard txAdmin options. Just enter the URL, and txAdmin will automatically download the template and set up your server exactly according to your specifications.
This option is for users who have already created their own recipe and want to load it again. This way, you can quickly and easily apply your individual configurations without setting everything up from scratch. Simply select your existing recipe, and txAdmin will take care of the rest to configure your server exactly as you want.
After choosing a deployment type and following the given steps, you can finish by clicking Go to Recipe Deployer. There you need to complete the final steps: Review Recipe, Enter Parameters, Execute Recipe, and Configure server.cfg.
In the first step, you can further customize the selected or added recipe. If no changes are needed, proceed to step 2. Here you can enter your own license key and check the database information. If everything is correct, click Execute Recipe. This may take a moment. Finally, you can adjust the server configuration file (server.cfg) as needed.
At the end, click Save & Start Server. This completes the txAdmin setup, and you can connect to your server.
