Getting started

What Agora is, what you need, and how to set up your first installation.

Discover Agora: what it does and how it fits togetherAgora brings your FiveM community forum and an MDT connected to your game server together in a single site, the Hub, that you install yourself.
Your first day with Agora: the steps in orderFrom an empty machine to a tablet working in game: the steps in order, each with its article and the sign that it is done.
Check the requirements before installing AgoraA place to run Agora (Docker, a panel or a Node.js server), a license key, outbound HTTPS access and a Discord account; the game database only for the MDT.
The two Agora databases: the Hub's and the game'sYour installation uses two databases: the Hub's (PostgreSQL, provided and managed by Agora) and your game server's (MySQL or MariaDB, which you already have).
Choose between Docker, the panel egg and a Node.js serverDocker if you have a machine of your own, the Pterodactyl or Pelican egg if your host gives you a panel, an agora.mjs file if you only have a Node.js server: all three give the same product.
Do the getting-started setup: key, Discord application, administratorOn the first start, every address leads to the getting-started screen: license key, Discord application, then your account becomes administrator.
Connect Discord to Agora: sign-in, bot and rolesDiscord sign-in is mandatory; the bot, optional, assigns your groups' Discord roles and sends private messages.
Create and set up your Discord bot, step by stepCreate the bot in the Discord portal, set its options, invite it to your server and connect it to Agora.
Finding your way: Moderation, Administration and ServerStaff have three areas: Moderation for day-to-day cases, Administration for configuration, Server for the game server.
