FiveM & RedM Server Backup Tool Server Controller

Your server, on autopilot, and in your pocket. One standalone Windows app that backs up, restores, updates and looks after your FiveM or RedM server, and with 2.0, Poggy Cloud: open it from any browser, anywhere, over an encrypted connection with no port to open. No resource and no server.cfg edits: it runs beside your server rather than inside it, so it works with every framework.

The dashboard: start, stop and restart, the next scheduled jobs, live CPU, RAM, disk and network, and the activity log.

Free or Pro. The free edition is a download with nothing to activate. Pro is sold monthly ($2.99 a month) or once ($14.99), and is included in POGGY ALL ACCESS.

🔐 New in 2.0: Poggy Cloud

Open Server Controller from any computer or phone at poggy.app/server: backups, restores, restarts, txAdmin updates, the whole app. Encrypted all the way, and nothing to open on your router.

• Your app dials out. Server Controller connects out to the Poggy relay and waits. Nothing listens on your server, so there's no port to open and nothing for strangers to find.
• Encrypted in transit. Your browser to the relay and the relay to your server are both HTTPS. The relay passes each message along and keeps no copy of it.
• Your server decides who gets in. Every request carries a pass signed by poggy.app. Your app checks it for itself, checks the Discord account is on its own list, and checks the address it comes from. The relay alone can't let anyone in.
• Access is given only in the app. Add staff by Discord user ID on the Remote tab. Nothing on the website can add anyone.
• New address, new approval. Someone connecting from an address you haven't approved waits until you approve it in the app, so a stolen sign-in isn't enough on its own.
• What we keep: each linked server's name, its owner, the Discord accounts your app lists (so poggy.app can show them their servers) and when it was last online. No pages, no files, no backups, no activity logs, no analytics and no telemetry. Unlink, and it's all deleted.

Rather keep it in-house? Two other ways in are still there: the Remote app on another PC, or any browser on your own network with a password.

✨ Also new in 2.0

• Backups that store only what changed. Each backup keeps just the files and database tables that changed since the last one, so backups can run every hour, and an hour where nothing changed costs no space at all. Prefer the old way? Pick "full copy every time".
• Restore one script, not the whole server. Broke one script? Tick it on the new Restore tab, pick which backup to take it from (the most recent is offered first) and put back just that folder. The same for database tables: one, several, or scripts and tables together.
• Every restore can be undone. Whatever is there is backed up first, so a restore can be reversed from the same tab.
• A history of every backup and what changed in it, down to the file.
• Runs several times a day. Every hour, every 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 or 12 hours, or once a day.
• Send feedback from inside the app, straight to the developer.

🆓 Free or Pro

The free edition covers running and protecting your server by hand. Pro adds everything that happens while you are not there.

⏪ Restore just what broke

• Two lists: your scripts and folders, and your database tables. Search, tick what you want back, and choose the version of each
• Each list only offers backups where that script or table was actually different, so you are not scrolling through 48 identical copies
• A script you deleted is still listed, marked removed, and can be brought back
• Restore Everything puts the whole resources folder, or the whole database, back as it was at one moment
• Old backups are kept on a sliding scale: every one for two days, then one a day for two weeks, then one a week for two months

The schedule (Pro): each job with how often it runs, its time and its days. A job missed while the PC was asleep still runs within the hour.

🌐 Three ways in (Pro)

• Poggy Cloud (recommended): any browser, anywhere, at poggy.app/server, encrypted, with no port to open
• The Remote app: run the same app on your own PC in Remote mode and every page works on the server machine, as if you were sitting at it. This is also how you download backups off the server
• Your own network: any browser on your network, signed in with a password; or over a private link such as Tailscale
• Every Remote app or network connection needs the auth key or the password; add an IP whitelist, and turn on per-device PINs so a leaked key opens nothing on its own
• Connected Devices lists every machine that has connected: name it, disconnect it or block it
• Keep a list of server machines, switch between them from the top bar, and see at a glance which can be reached and whether their server is running

Remote access hosting and the connected devices list.

🔔 Discord alerts (Pro)

• A Discord webhook message for each event you tick: server started, stopped, restarted or errored, each kind of backup, a failed backup and a txAdmin update. Hourly backups report only when they fail, so the channel stays quiet

Choose which events reach your Discord.

🎨 The Poggy look

• Poggy Gold, Blackwater Steel, Lemoyne Moss, Saint Denis Wine, Ambarino Frost (the default), Tumbleweed Copper, Outlaw Crimson, Silver Dollar and the light Ledger: the same colours as the matching in-game Poggy themes
• Or a Custom theme with your own colours, fonts and corners

Settings: pick a theme, and (Pro) add more servers on this machine.

🔄 Updates itself

• Checks for a new version every 12 hours, tells you once, and keeps an Update button at the top of the window until you use it
• Settings live in %APPDATA%\ServerController, so replacing the exe never loses your setup
• Found a bug or want something added? The Send feedback button reaches the developer directly

🔑 How the licence works

• Free: ServerController.exe. Nothing to activate. It shows one Poggy script at a time in a slim line at the foot of the page; the cross hides it until the next start
• Pro: ServerControllerPro.exe, with the same settings folder, so moving from free to Pro keeps your setup. Your licence is a Discord role, so there is no key to lose: join our Discord with the account you buy on and press Activate. Rather not sign into Discord on a shared server box? Type the short code shown in the app at poggy.app/activate from your phone, or have our bot send you a PIN by Discord DM. Activate it on any of your own machines
• Pro checks the licence when it starts and every 12 hours. If the licence ends, Pro asks to be activated again; the free edition keeps working with the same settings

📋 Requirements

• Windows (Windows Server supported; WebView2 installs itself if missing)
• MySQL client tools (mysqldump and mysql) for database backups and restores; the setup wizard helps find them
• 7-Zip for txAdmin updates
• Pro also needs a Discord account in our server
