Server Controller — Your FiveM / RedM Server, Backed Up and Up to Date

Server Controller is a standalone Windows desktop app for running a FiveM or RedM server: one executable, nothing to install. From one window it starts, stops and restarts FXServer, backs up the database and the server files, restores any backup and keeps txAdmin up to date.

No resource. No server.cfg edits. It runs next to your server, not inside it, so it works with every framework (ESX, QBCore, QBox, VORP, RSG, standalone… all of them).

Current version: 1.6.0. It comes in two editions:

• Free — everything you do by hand. No account, no sign-in, no licence: download it, open it, and it works.
• Pro — everything that happens without you: overnight backups and updates, backups copied home, Discord alerts, remote control, and several servers in one window.

Your settings live in %APPDATA%\ServerController\, so moving from Free to Pro (or to a newer version) keeps your whole setup.

Free: run it by hand

Server Control — start, stop and restart FXServer, with its live status on the dashboard.

Live Dashboard — CPU, RAM, disk and network meters, the activity log as it happens, and a real progress bar for every long job.

Database Backups — mysqldump backups at the press of a button, with one-click restore.

Server File Backups — zips your resources folder, with folders you can leave out so you skip the heavy stuff.

Restore — roll back any database, server file or txAdmin backup from its row.

txAdmin Updates — checks FiveM’s official artifacts, backs up your current server, downloads the recommended build, extracts it and restarts FXServer. One click.

Database Setup Wizard — scans every drive for XAMPP, WAMP, Laragon, MySQL and MariaDB, reads the mysql_connection_string straight out of your server.cfg, and tests the connection for real. No MySQL within reach? Switch database backups off and the rest carries on.

Help & Setup — a live check of your install where every warning has a button that goes straight to the fix, step-by-step guides, and a list of symptoms with their fixes.

The Poggy Look — every Poggy theme (Ambarino Frost, Poggy Gold, Blackwater Steel, Saint Denis Wine, the light Ledger and more) or your own colours. The same themes as in game.

Updates Itself — checks for a new version every 12 hours, asks once, then waits in a gold line at the top until you click it.

Pro: while you sleep, and from anywhere

Automatic Schedule — database backups, file backups and txAdmin updates at the times and days you pick. Missed one because the PC was asleep or restarting? It catches up within the hour, and the log says it ran late.

Backups Come Home — copy any backup onto the PC you are sitting at, with speed and time remaining, or have every new one collected automatically. A backup that only lives on the server dies with the server.

Discord Alerts — a post the moment the server stops or starts, a backup finishes or something fails. Pick the events.

Run It From Anywhere — run the Pro app on your own PC in Remote mode and drive the server machine from there: every tab works exactly as it does on the server.

Know Who Is Connected — every machine that connects is listed by name with a live dot and when it was last seen. Disconnect one, block it for good, or forget it.

A PIN Per Device — switch it on and the auth key alone opens nothing: each machine needs your approval and its own 4-digit PIN. Issue a new PIN and exactly one machine is locked out.

Several Servers, One Window — Dev, Staging and Live on one box, each with its own paths, ports, schedule, alerts and backup folders, switched from the top bar, all at a glance on the dashboard. From a client, drive more than one server machine.

Need Help?

Get Support: Poggy Scripts

Setup in 60 seconds

1. Run ServerController.exe (or ServerControllerPro.exe) on your server machine and pick Local Server.
2. Fill in your paths in Settings: backup folders, txAdmin folder, 7-Zip. The Database Setup wizard finds and tests your MySQL details for you.
3. Back up, restore, update or restart from the dashboard. With Pro, set the schedule and go to bed.

Activating Pro: sign in with Discord, or, on a shared server box where you would rather not sign in, type the app’s code at poggy.app/activate from your phone, or get a PIN by Discord DM. Neither of those signs the server machine into anything.

Requirements

• Windows (Windows Server fully supported; WebView2 installs itself if missing)
• MySQL / MariaDB client tools (mysqldump / mysql) for database backups
• 7-Zip for txAdmin updates
• A FiveM or RedM server with txAdmin

Privacy & Network Transparency

Server Controller has no analytics, tracking or telemetry. It doesn’t report usage, collect statistics or upload anything about you or your server. Your server files, database contents, backups and passwords stay on your own machines.

It only reaches the internet for these, and only when they’re in use:

A licence server that cannot be reached never locks a Pro copy: only a definite “no” does.

About Windows warnings

The exe isn’t code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows its standard warning for unsigned programs. Choose More info → Run anyway.
