Post-Installation Steps

Complete the initial account setup and connect your gameserver after installing FiveNet.

1. Create the First Account Manually

If no account exists yet, create the first account directly in the database:

Open your MySQL management tool or database UI, such as mysql, DBeaver, or PHPMyAdmin, and connect to the database used by FiveNet or your gameserver.

Navigate to the fivenet_accounts table and create a new entry with the following values:

Field	Value Description
`enabled`	Set to `1` to enable the account.
`license`	Your in-game identifier/license without any prefix (e.g., `char*:`, `license:`, `steam:`, `discord:`).
`reg_token`	A 6-digit registration token for account registration.
`groups`	A JSON string array, e.g., `["admin"]` (list of groups).

Note: Leave all other fields as they are.

Example query:

INSERT INTO `fivenet_accounts` (`enabled`, `license`, `reg_token`, `groups`) VALUES (1, 'YOUR_LICENSE_HERE', '123456', '["admin"]');

Open your FiveNet instance in your browser, navigate to the registration page, and use the registration token to create your account.
Once registered, log in to FiveNet. If the license value is correct, you should see any characters (users table) associated with the license/identifier.

2. Install the FiveNet Plugin on Your Gameserver

To connect FiveNet to your gameserver:

Download the FiveM Plugin code from GitHub.
Install and configure the plugin on your FiveM server.

Important:

Read the README.md file of the plugin you install and follow the instructions to ensure optimal setup.
Add event triggers to your ESX plugins as required. Not all events collected by FiveNet are available in the standard ESX plugin code.

For additional details and step-by-step setup guidance, refer to the plugin installation documentation.

3. Configure Your FiveNet

When logged in with a character selected, you must be able to enable superuser mode (controlled by config option auth.configAdminGroups and auth.configAdminUsers), navigate to your "FiveNet Settings" (/settings/settings URL path).

In there go over each tab and configure them to suit your servers' config, jobs and roleplay.

Some of the most important settings to configure here are:

"Jobs & Tracker" Tab
- Make sure to select the correct enemployed job and grade.
"Website" Tab
- Make sure to set the URLs to your gameservers' privacy policy and imprint pages.

Kubernetes: Using Helm

For installation to Kubernetes, a Helm chart is available in our charts repository. The source code of the chart(s) is available on GitHub fivenet-app/charts.
