  • Add new features
  • Ensure compatibility with the latest resources

Step 1: Download the new Artifact​

  1. Go to the official website: https://runtime.fivem.net/artifacts/fivem/build_proot_linux/master/
  2. Choose the desired version:
    • Recommended: Stable recommended version
    • Latest: Latest version (may contain bugs)
  3. Click the link to download the archive

It is recommended to use the Recommended version for a production server.

  1. Log in to your Game Panel:
  2. Select your FiveM server
  3. Click Stop to stop the server
warning

Never update artifacts while the server is running!

Step 3: Backup old files​

  1. Go to Files (File Manager)
  2. Create a backup_artifacts folder (optional but recommended)
  3. Move the following files to this folder:
    • alpine/
    • run.sh
    • Any other files at root except server-data/ or resources/

Step 4: Upload new Artifacts​

  1. In the file manager, click Upload
  2. Select the downloaded archive (fx.tar.xz)
  3. Once uploaded, right-click on the archive
  4. Click Unarchive to extract the files

Step 5: Check permissions​

Make sure the run.sh file is executable:

  1. Right-click on run.sh
  2. Click Permissions
  3. Verify that execution is allowed (755)

Step 6: Restart the server​

  1. Return to your server's main page
  2. Click Start to start the server
  3. Check the logs to ensure everything is working correctly

Check version​

Once the server is started, you can check the artifact version in the console. The version is displayed at server startup.

Common issues​

Server won't start​

  • Verify all files were extracted correctly
  • Make sure run.sh has the correct permissions
  • Check the logs to identify the error

Compatibility errors​

  • Some resources may require a specific artifact version
  • Check your resources' compatibility with the new artifact
  • If there's a problem, restore the old artifact from your backup

txAdmin no longer works​

  • After a major update, txAdmin may require reconfiguration
  • Verify that the txAdmin version is compatible with the new artifact
