FiveM CAD System Hosting: Requirements, Options & Setup
Everything you need to know about hosting a FiveM CAD system. Learn why CDE CAD is fully cloud-hosted (not self-hosted) and how BlueLine Mods Hosting makes getting your CAD online effortless.
Unlike many FiveM CAD systems that require you to rent a VPS and manage everything yourself, CDE CAD is not self-hosted. It's a fully cloud-hosted, managed solution provided through BlueLine Mods Hosting. That means no server setup, no Linux administration, and no database maintenance - your CAD is hosted, updated, and supported for you so your community can focus on roleplay, not infrastructure.
What Does a FiveM CAD System Need to Run?
Web Server
A web server like Nginx or Apache to serve the CAD frontend and handle incoming HTTP requests from your community members.
Database
A relational database (MySQL or PostgreSQL) to store civilians, vehicles, warrants, records, and all persistent data.
Node.js / Backend Runtime
The backend application server that handles API requests, authentication, real-time updates, and business logic.
SSL Certificate
HTTPS encryption is required for secure Discord OAuth login and to protect user data in transit. No SSL means no secure authentication.
Domain Name
A custom domain (like cad.yourcommunity.com) gives your CAD a professional URL and is required for SSL certificates and OAuth redirects.
