I want to create a FiveM server but I want to see if I'm up to it before paying a host

This is kinda hard to explain but I want to basically host a development server from my own computer and try developing some GUI elements and stuff like that. I just want to demo my skills and see if it’s any different from the Lua development I’ve done on another game. Any tips?

As always, read the docs on how to create a server locally, then just play around; to join your local server, you can just connect localhost:30120 in your FiveM client.

Ah, thanks. Any tips for what i should demo my skills on? And also what core/sql thingy do you recommend?

Uh, kinda whatever you want - trying to get a server going on a framework and adding custom scripts will prove to be a good experience. QB-core seems to be the most common and available one nowadays, so if you’re struggling to pick one go with that :laughing:
XAMPP to run the SQL server itself, for an SQL editor try either HeidiSQL or DBeaver
