Install Qbox with txAdmin
Deploy a Qbox FiveM roleplay server using the maintained txAdmin recipe and verify its database and core resources.
Use Qbox's maintainer-provided recipe rather than an unreviewed archive or a copied, outdated deployment. A working txAdmin panel alone does not mean the Qbox framework is ready.
Preparation
- Install a compatible FXServer artifact, start txAdmin and link your Cfx.re account.
- Prepare the Cfx Portal license and a separate, empty MySQL/MariaDB database with the credentials required by the current recipe.
- Check the Qbox txAdmin recipe source, including task actions and current prerequisites.
- Back up any existing files before replacing resources. Use a new target deployment folder and test database.
Deploy Qbox
- Open txAdmin Server Deployer and select Qbox from the recommended FiveM recipes.
- If it is unavailable, use the maintainer's recipe URL, after reviewing its latest source and your artifact's compatibility.
- Enter the server name and Cfx license key; supply database connection information when prompted.
- Review tasks that download repositories, write configuration, or run SQL before confirming. Database deletion choices are especially important.
- Follow the progress task by task. A failed recipe does not mean its earlier file or SQL actions were rolled back.
- Verify the newly generated
server.cfg, framework resources, and connection string without copying credentials into chat or issue reports.
Test the installation
- Read the console for core/resource errors and database connection failures.
- Check the expected framework startup order and required dependencies as described by Qbox.
- Connect with a test player, create or load a character, disconnect and reconnect, and confirm persistence.
- Record your artifact/recipe versions and take a known-good backup.
Frequent problems
| Problem | First check |
|---|---|
| Deployment stops during GitHub download | Source/ref, network and rate limits. |
| SQL import or database connection fails | Hostname from the server/container network, database privileges and credentials. |
| Character data fails to save | Framework/database logs and whether the recipe actually completed. |
| A QBCore resource fails after deployment | Check the Qbox compatibility documentation instead of assuming identical APIs. |
Compatibility: Official recipe listings describe Qbox as QBCore-resource compatible, but individual resources can still need changes. Validate third-party code before promoting your installation.
