Connecting a Server

Admin Panel provides two methods for connecting your FiveM server:

  1. LiveLink (Automatically stays up to date)

  2. Resource (Requires manual updates)

Choose the method that best suits your server setup.

Method 1: LiveLinkCopied!

LiveLink is the easiest way to connect your server, as it automatically updates without requiring manual downloads.

Steps to Connect Using LiveLink

  1. Choose any FiveM script where you want to place the connection code.

  2. Navigate to the Manage Servers page on the Dashboard.

  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find your LiveLink.

    • This link is always up to date and only requires a restart instead of manual updates.

  4. Paste the generated code in any server-sided file, or create an empty resource to store the LiveLink code.

  5. Restart the resource containing the connection code, or restart the entire server.

  6. Allow Admin Panel to detect the server. This process may take a few minutes.

    • If your server has not appeared within 1 hour, please contact support.

Admin Panel has now been installed!

Method 2: ResourceCopied!

This method requires manual updates but can be useful if your hosting provider blocks LiveLink.

Steps to Connect Using a Resource

  1. Navigate to the Manage Servers page on the Dashboard.

  2. Scroll to the bottom to find your LiveLink.

    • To the left of it, locate the ☰ icon and click on it.

    • Select "Download as Resource".

  3. Rename the resource to improve security. (It cannot have the default resource name.)

  4. Add the resource to your server.cfg.

  5. Restart the newly added resource, or restart the entire server.

  6. Allow Admin Panel to detect the server. This process may take a few minutes.

    • If your server has not appeared within 1 hour, please contact support.

Your server.cfg should have it added like this:

...
ensure yourResourceName
...

After adding it make sure to restart the server!

Admin Panel has now been installed!

TroubleshootingCopied!

Issue: Hosting Provider Blocking LiveLink

  • Some hosting providers block external scripts due to high traffic.

  • If this happens, use the "Download as Resource" option instead.

Issue: Server Not Connecting Due to Invalid IP

  • Some hosting providers use proxies to protect backend IPs.

  • Admin Panel requires a direct connection to function properly.

  • If your server does not connect within 5 minutes after a restart, there is likely a proxy in place.

    • Our automated system will attempt to resolve the backend IP to establish a stable connection.

Important NotesCopied!

⚠️ Do NOT add the LiveLink code twice in the same file.

  • Doing so will not work and could overload your hosting provider’s traffic, leading to:

    • Account suspension by your hosting provider.

    • Blacklisting of the LiveLink feature.

    • Blacklisting of Pulse Services’s services by your hosting provider.

To ensure a smooth and stable connection, always follow the installation instructions!
