3X-UI — advanced, open-source web-based control panel designed for managing Xray-core server. It offers a user-friendly interface for configuring and monitoring various VPN and proxy protocols.

Important

This project is only for personal usage, please do not use it for illegal purposes, and please do not use it in a production environment.

As an enhanced fork of the original X-UI project, 3X-UI provides improved stability, broader protocol support, and additional features.

Quick Start

bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhsanaei/3x-ui/master/install.sh)

For full documentation, please visit the project Wiki.

Database Options

3X-UI supports two backends, chosen during the install:

• SQLite (default) — a single file at /etc/x-ui/x-ui.db. Zero setup, ideal for small/medium deployments.
• PostgreSQL — recommended for high client counts or multi-node setups. The installer can install PostgreSQL locally for you, or accept a DSN to an existing server.

At runtime the backend is selected via env vars (the installer writes these to /etc/default/x-ui for you):

XUI_DB_TYPE=postgres
XUI_DB_DSN=postgres://xui:password@127.0.0.1:5432/xui?sslmode=disable

Migrating an existing SQLite install to PostgreSQL

x-ui migrate-db --dsn "postgres://xui:password@127.0.0.1:5432/xui?sslmode=disable"
# then set XUI_DB_TYPE and XUI_DB_DSN in /etc/default/x-ui and restart:
systemctl restart x-ui

The source SQLite file is left untouched; remove it manually once you have verified the new backend.

Docker

The default docker compose up -d keeps using SQLite. To run with the bundled PostgreSQL service, uncomment the two XUI_DB_* env lines in docker-compose.yml and start with the profile:

docker compose --profile postgres up -d

The image bundles Fail2ban (enabled by default) to enforce per-client IP limits. Fail2ban bans offenders with iptables, which requires the NET_ADMIN capability. docker-compose.yml already grants it via cap_add; if you start the container with docker run instead, add the capabilities yourself, otherwise bans are logged but never applied:

docker run -d --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --cap-add=NET_RAW ... ghcr.io/mhsanaei/3x-ui
