One script does everything: installs Node.js, nginx, SSL, and starts the dashboard as a service. Takes about 5 minutes.

​
Before you start

You must have everything from Requirements:
  • Linux server with root access.
  • Domain pointed at the server’s IP (waited at least 5 minutes after adding DNS).
  • MySQL connection details for your FiveM database.
  • The Nexora Dashboard release ZIP from your Tebex purchase page.

​
Step 1: Connect to your server

Open a terminal and SSH in: 
ssh root@your-server-ip
If you do not log in as root, prefix all commands below with sudo.

​
Step 2: Upload and extract the release ZIP

Upload nexora-dashboard-vX.X.X.zip to your server (use FileZilla, WinSCP, or scp). A common path: 
scp nexora-dashboard-v1.0.0.zip root@your-server-ip:/root/
On the server: 
cd /home
unzip /root/nexora-dashboard-v*.zip
mv nexora-dashboard-v* fivem
cd fivem
You should now have /home/fivem/ containing dist/, nexora-dashboard/, deploy/, package.json, and .env.example.

​
Step 3: Run the install script

bash deploy/setup-linux.sh
The script will ask you questions. Answers in plain words:
PromptWhat to type
DB hostWhere your FiveM MySQL lives. 127.0.0.1 if same server, otherwise the public host.
DB portPress Enter for 3306 unless yours is different.
DB userYour MySQL username.
DB passwordYour MySQL password (hidden as you type).
DB nameYour FiveM database name (e.g. qbox_main).
DomainThe domain you pointed at this server, e.g. dash.mygtaserver.com.
Node portPress Enter for 3000.
Discord client IDPaste from Discord developer portal, or press Enter to skip.
Discord client secretSame. Press Enter to skip.
Obtain SSL certificate now? [Y/n]Press Enter for yes.
The script then:
  1. Installs Node.js 20, nginx, certbot.
  2. Installs production dependencies (npm ci --omit=dev). No build needed, the release ZIP already has the built files.
  3. Writes a .env file with your settings.
  4. Configures nginx for your domain.
  5. Gets a free SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt.
  6. Creates a systemd service so the dashboard auto-starts on reboot.
  7. Starts the dashboard.

​
Step 4: Save your API key

When the script finishes, it prints something like: 
Dashboard URL : https://dash.mygtaserver.com
FIVEM_API_KEY : 7f3a9b2c...
Save the FIVEM_API_KEY. You will paste it into the Lua resource config next.

​
Step 5: Install the Lua resource

See Install in FiveM. Short version: drop the nexora-dashboard folder into your server’s resources/, set the DASHBOARD_URL and DASHBOARD_API_KEY convars in your server.cfg, then ensure nexora-dashboard.

​
Step 6: Open the dashboard

Visit https://yourdomain.com and create the first admin account. See First login.

​
If something breaks

Check the service status: 
systemctl status nexora-dashboard
journalctl -u nexora-dashboard -f
