I’m trying to create a FiveM Server so I followed the steps in the website provided by FiveM: https://docs.fivem.net/server-manual/setting-up-a-server/
I proceeded to create a droplet in DigitalOcean and create a license key for FiveM using the ip address of the droplet I just made. I tried connecting to my server using that ip address but it didn’t show. I’m not sure where to go on from here. If someone could please help me that would be great. Thank you!

Hello,
First you will have to connect to your Droplet via SSH, here’s how you could do that:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/connect-with-ssh/
Then once you’ve logged into the droplet you can follow the Linux steps from the official site on how to install the software:
mkdir /home/username/server
).wget <url>
to download it).cd path/to/server/folder && tar xf fx.tar.xz
(you need to have xz installed, on Debian/Ubuntu this is in the xz-utils package).git clone https://github.com/citizenfx/cfx-server-data.git /home/username/server-data
server.cfg
file in your server-data folder (copy the exampleserver.cfg
file below into that file).server.cfg
usingsv_licenseKey "licenseKeyGoesHere"
.Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
