Setting up a FiveM server
Get your FiveM server running: choose artifacts, configure server.cfg, set up a license key and connect through the Cfx.re lobby.
A FiveM server needs three things: a CFX license key, a working server.cfg and at least a base set of resources. WingNode handles the base install — here's how to make it yours.
1. Get a CFX license key
Go to keymaster.fivem.net, log in with your Rockstar account, create a new server key bound to your WingNode IP, and copy the key.
2. Add the key to server.cfg
Open Files → server.cfg and add:
sv_licenseKey "your-key-here"\nsv_hostname "My FiveM Server"\nsv_maxclients 643. Start the server
Press Start in the panel. Watch the console for Server started. Listening on port 30120. Join via connect <your-ip>:30120 in the FiveM F8 console, or open the server in the lobby.
4. Pick artifacts version
By default WingNode uses the latest recommended LTS build. Lock a specific version in Settings → Startup if a resource requires it. Update by changing the artifact number and clicking Reinstall.
5. Essential server.cfg tweaks
sv_scriptHookAllowed 0— disable single-player cheat menu.sv_enforceGameBuild 2699— lock the game build if a resource needs it.sv_projectName "My RP"andsv_projectDesc— appear in the server browser.
6. Add yourself as admin
Find your Rockstar license in the console (license:xxxx) and add to server.cfg:
add_ace identifier.license:xxxx group.admin allow\nadd_principal identifier.license:xxxx group.admin
