Introduction #

Once the server has been installed, you will need to configure it before it can run as expected.

On your server’s dashboard, go to the “Startup” tab. Here, you will find several settings that you can configure according to your specific needs. Below is a list of options available for your BeamMP server in the “Startup” tab: 

1. STARTUP COMMAND and DOCKER IMAGE are read-only variables and cannot be modified. 

Variables #

1. SERVER NAME. The name of your server. This is what appears on the server list.
2. SERVER DESCRIPTION. Sets the server description. Can be shown on the server list.
3. BEAMMP SERVER VERSION. The BeamMP server version to be installed. Latest or invalid versions will default to latest.
4. AUTHENTICATION KEY. The authentication key for your server. Your personal key can be obtained from the BeamMP keymaster at https://keymaster.beammp.com (External Site).
5. MAX PLAYERS. The maximum number of players allowed on the server at the same time.
6. PRIVATE. Enabling this, sets the server to private. This restricts public joining.

Starting your server #

Once everything is set up, you can start the server from the “Console” tab by clicking “Start”. Please allow some time for the server to start. Your server has started succesfully when the console shows: [INFO] ALL SYSTEMS STARTED SUCCESSFULLY, EVERYTHING IS OKAY

Changing Configurations #

If you wish to change settings not listed in the Variables section, you can edit the server’s settings in-game. However, be aware that any changes to the server settings that correspond to settings in the Startup tab will be overwritten by the Variables options. Therefore, it’s recommended to only modify the server settings for settings not available in the Startup tab.
