Round Robin should be what you want. In a round robin style tournament, everyone plays everyone else one. In your case, you will have a 5 round tournament, playing one of your participants every round until you have played against everyone.

Should the group size be 6 then, and set max players to 6 as well? I tried setting the group size to 2, but now I'm not so sure what happens after each pair finishes both games (right now it seems each of us will play 2 games against our opponent, once as black and once as white)
That is called a double round robin. It considered to be more fair, but also takes twice as long. You should probably set the group size to the number of players you want in your tournament, that's kind of the point of a round robin. If you want fewer round that you have players, a Swiss tournament is probably closer to what you are looking for.
Have you searched for round robin chess on your favorite search engine yet?
Sure did, I haven't been able to find an explanation of what I should put for groups or anything yet.
