How to Set Up txAdmin Like a Pro

txAdmin ships with FXServer and most owners barely use 20% of it. The other 80% is genuinely useful.

First-run setup

Open txAdmin's web panel (default localhost:40120 or your VPS IP), create your master account, and run the recipe builder. Pick a base recipe (vMenu, ESX Legacy, QBCore) that matches your target framework. Recipes get you 80% of the way to a working server before you write a single line.

Schedules and restarts

txAdmin has built-in scheduled restarts. Use them. A 6-hour or 12-hour restart cycle clears memory leaks and gives you a predictable maintenance window. Configure restart warnings at 15, 5, and 1 minutes — silent restarts annoy players.

Recipe-driven deployments

For identical staging and production environments, write your own recipe.yaml. It declares the exact resources, configs, and database setup. Spin up a new server in 5 minutes and they will be byte-identical.

Live admin tools

The in-game F1 menu and the panel both let you teleport, kick, ban, and inspect players. The kick / ban interface includes Discord webhook integration — connect it once and your moderation log writes itself.

Backups via txAdmin

txAdmin can run scheduled MySQL backups if you give it credentials. Useful as a secondary backup layer alongside your main backup pipeline. Don't rely on it as the only backup — always have an off-host copy.

Wrapping up

Spend an hour clicking through every txAdmin tab. You will find a feature you have been doing manually for months. That is the moment txAdmin pays for itself.
