FiveM: getting started
From empty gameserver slot to a joinable FXServer without mystery scripts.

Prereqs
- A Cfx.re server license key from the official keymaster — never paste it in public Discord.
- A pinned FXServer artifact build your host supports (avoid random “latest” zips from forums).
- Clear hostname, project name, and tags in server.cfg.
server.cfg sanity
- ensure order matters — frameworks before scripts that depend on them.
- Set OneSync according to your slot count and framework docs; don't flip it mid-season without a wipe plan.
- Use steam/Discord/identifier allowlists for staff early; open public only when bans/logging exist.
