FiveM: Use Rcon

What is Rcon?​

Rcon is a protocol for executing commands on the server without having direct access to the console.

Preparation​

A suitable Rcon tool is required for the use. For example, the well-known Rcon tool Icecon can be used for this. This example is based on Icecon. The tool can be set up by downloading and executing the icecon_windows_amd64.exe.

An additional installation is not required. The program can be started right away. To establish the connection, the information about the IP address, port and rcon password is required.

Define rcon password​

Configuration via the settings

With the FiveM server products "FiveM (Linux/Windows/ESX RP Server/QBCore)" the rcon password can be defined under the settings by default. The password defined there is then required for the following rcon connection via Icecon.

Configuration via the server config

The rcon password can alternatively also be set directly via the server config. The value of the following command must be adjusted for this:

rcon_password "DeinWunschRconPasswort"
info

To manage it via the server config, the option of the rcon field must first be deactivated under the settings.

txAdmin: The definition of the rcon password is only possible via the server config for txAdmin.

Usage​

Once the password has been defined and the server has been restarted, the rcon connection can be established. To do this, complete the two fields IP:Port and Password (Rcon) with the information from your server and click on "OK".
