Get Started

Installation

Download the Hydra AC resource from Hydra Hub and start it on your FiveM server.

Requirements

  • A FiveM server with OneSync on.
  • ESX, Qbox, QBCore or a standalone server. Hydra finds your framework by itself.
  • A Hydra AC plan on Hydra Hub. Creating an account is free; adding a server needs a plan.

Hydra needs no database and no oxmysql. Your server only talks out to Hydra Hub over HTTPS.

Install

Add your server on Hydra Hub

Sign in at hydra-ac.com and open Organisation › Add server. The window that opens has a Download HydraAC button. You can find it again later in Servers › your server › Install guide and download.

Put the resource in your server

Unzip the download into your server's resources folder. You get a HydraAC folder; replace any older one.

Start it in server.cfg

Add Hydra to server.cfg, after your framework and inventory:

cfg
ensure HydraAC

# live screens and clips on the hub (recommended)
set hydra_hub_public_url "https://hydra-ac.com"

Connect it

Restart the server, then pair it with the hub. See Connect your server.

What the download contains

The download is a small loader. When your server starts, HydraAC fetches its signed code from Hydra Hub, checks the signature and runs it, and each player's game receives its part when they join. You never edit Hydra's code, and updates arrive with a restart. See Updating Hydra.

If Hydra Hub cannot be reached when your server starts, Hydra runs the last code it received for up to 72 hours and keeps enforcing your bans from its local copy.
