How to play GTA RP and join Cabana the right way.
If you are new to GTA RP or FiveM, this guide walks you through the basics, how whitelist servers work, and what the Cabana onboarding path looks like from Discord to launch day.
What Is GTA RP?
GTA RP, or GTA roleplay, is a multiplayer experience where you create a character and interact with other players in a shared world.
Instead of playing GTA normally, you stay in character and treat situations as if they were real. Every interaction becomes part of an ongoing story shaped by the people around you.
What Is FiveM?
Most GTA RP servers run on FiveM.
FiveM is a platform that allows you to join custom GTA V multiplayer servers with their own rules, systems, and communities.
How to Install FiveM
- Make sure you own a PC copy of GTA V through Steam, Epic Games, or Rockstar Launcher.
- Go to the official FiveM website at fivem.net.
- Download and install FiveM.
- Launch FiveM and let it complete setup.
How to Find and Join a Server
Most serious servers use Discord and whitelist systems. You usually join their Discord, complete their application, and get access once approved. This is how Cabana Roleplay works.
You can also search for servers directly inside FiveM, but many higher-quality servers will not let you join without being whitelisted first.
What Is a Whitelist Server?
A whitelist server requires you to apply before joining.
The goal is to keep roleplay standards consistent, filter out low-effort players, and make sure everyone understands how the server works.
The process is straightforward once you know the path.
1. Join the Discord
This is where everything starts. You will find announcements, rules, and access to the whitelist.
2. Link Your Discord
Connect your Discord account on the website so your identity stays tied to the application and community systems.
3. Complete the Whitelist
Answer the whitelist questions, go through review, and wait for the final staff decision.
4. Join the Server
Once approved, your Discord role and access are synced so you can jump in cleanly.
