* feat(tgbot): gate the bot behind three user levels Every Telegram account that found the bot could run /help, /status and /usage, and tap any client button it could forge: nothing separated an account no admin had bound from a customer. Each update now resolves to stranger, client or admin, and commands are allowlisted per level so a command added later stays admin-only until it is listed. A stranger may run /start and /id only, and /start answers with the ChatID an admin needs to bind it; a stranger's callbacks are answered and dropped. Client detection reads the same tgId lookup as clientOwnedByTgUser, so the level gate and the ownership check agree. The bot also ignores everything outside private chats: authorization keys on the sender while wizard state keys on the chat, and the two are the same identity only in a private chat. * feat(tgbot): bind Telegram accounts through /start deep links Linking a customer meant the customer sending /id and an admin copying the ChatID into the client by hand, which does not scale past a few customers and is easy to get wrong. The admin client card now offers an invite link, t.me/<bot>?start=<subId>, and the first account to open it is bound through the existing SetClientTelegramUserID. A subId already grants the subscription, so binding gives the holder nothing the token did not. A subscription that spans several clients binds all of them, and is refused if any part belongs to another account; re-opening your own link is idempotent. Unknown and already-claimed tokens share one reply, so the link cannot be used to probe for valid subIds. * fix(tgbot): harden invite claims after review Review of the access-level and binding change found five problems: - Concurrent claims of one link all read the client as unbound, all bound and all were told so, while only the last write held. Resolving and binding now share one lock, and a bind that fails part-way through a multi-client subscription undoes the bindings it already made. - A subId has no minimum strength and the bot needs only its public username, so /start was an unthrottled guessing oracle. Non-admin claim attempts are capped at five per account per hour, the first refused one notifies the admins, and the Subscription ID field now says it doubles as the bot invite code. - levelOf expanded every inbound's client JSON on every non-admin update. It now reads the indexed tg_id column of the clients table. - A button tapped in a group chat was dropped unanswered and kept spinning, with nothing logged. It is answered now, and each ignored chat is logged once. - The subId was pasted raw into the t.me link, so '#' or '&' truncated it and Telegram rejects anything outside A-Za-z0-9_-. The payload is now base64url, and a subId too long for the 64-character limit is refused. * fix(tgbot): answer group chats again and make the claim race test bite ignoredChat dropped every non-private chat because wizard state was keyed by chat while authorization keyed on the sender. #6604 on main re-keyed that state by (chat, user) so admins can drive the bot from a group, so after the merge the drop only took the whole bot away from those admins, report keyboards sent to a group included. The level gate already keys on the sender, so group chats need no special case. TestConcurrentClaimsBindOnlyOneAccount passed with inviteClaimMu removed: the first claimant took the pool's idle connection and bound before the rest had opened theirs, so no two ever raced. It now holds the inbound write the binds need until every claimant has resolved, and fails without the lock ("6 accounts told they bound"). TestCommandAllowed restated the commandsByLevel map; TestGateCommand drives the same allowlist through gateCommand. TestIgnoredChat goes with the code it pinned. * docs(tgbot): document access levels and invite links The command table still said /help and /status answer anyone. An account no admin has linked now reaches only /start and /id, and a customer is linked through the client card's Invite Link, whose token is the Subscription ID.

3X-UI is an advanced, open-source web control panel for managing Xray-core servers. It provides a clean, multi-language interface for deploying, configuring, and monitoring a wide range of proxy and VPN protocols — from a single VPS to multi-node deployments.
Built as an enhanced fork of the original X-UI project, 3X-UI adds broader protocol support, improved stability, per-client traffic accounting, and many quality-of-life features.
Important
This project is intended for personal use only. Please do not use it for illegal purposes or in a production environment.
Features
- Multi-protocol inbounds — VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, WireGuard, AmneziaWG, TUIC v5, Hysteria2, MTProto, HTTP, SOCKS (Mixed), Dokodemo-door / Tunnel, and TUN.
- Modern transports & security — TCP (Raw), mKCP, WebSocket, gRPC, HTTPUpgrade, and XHTTP, secured with TLS, XTLS, and REALITY.
- AmneziaWG built in — DPI-resistant WireGuard runs inside the panel on a userspace network stack, with no kernel module, DKMS, or extra packages to install.
- TUIC v5 sidecar — High-performance QUIC-based proxy with native UDP relay traffic metering, 0-RTT handshakes, and BBR congestion control.
- MTProto proxies — per-client FakeTLS secrets, ad-tags, and quotas, applied live without dropping existing connections.
- Fallbacks — serve multiple protocols on a single port (e.g. VLESS and Trojan on 443) using Xray's fallback support.
- Per-client management — traffic quotas, expiry dates, IP limits with trusted-address exemptions, HWID device limits, scheduled renewal cycles, live online status, and one-click share links, QR codes, and subscriptions.
- Traffic statistics — per inbound, per client, and per outbound, with reset controls.
- Multi-node support — manage and scale across multiple servers from a single panel, including cloning inbounds onto other nodes.
- Outbound & routing — WARP, NordVPN, PIA, custom routing rules, load balancers with balancer-to-balancer fallback, and outbound proxy chaining. Bundled geosite and geoip categories are browsable straight from the rule editor.
- Built-in subscription server — raw, JSON, and Clash output, auto-selected from the client's User-Agent, plus custom page templates.
- Telegram and Discord bots for remote monitoring and management.
- RESTful API with scoped, optionally expiring tokens and an in-panel API reference.
- Installable panel (PWA) — pin 3X-UI to a desktop or phone home screen.
- Flexible storage — SQLite (default) or PostgreSQL.
- 13 UI languages with dark and light themes.
- Fail2ban integration for enforcing per-client IP limits.

Quick Start
bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhsanaei/3x-ui/master/install.sh)
To install a specific version, append its tag (e.g. v3.7.0):
bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhsanaei/3x-ui/master/install.sh) v3.7.0
To install the rolling dev build (latest per-commit pre-release from main, not a stable release), pass dev-latest:
bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhsanaei/3x-ui/master/install.sh) dev-latest
During installation a random username, password, and access path are generated. After installation, run x-ui to open the management menu, where you can start/stop the service, view or reset your login credentials, manage SSL certificates, and more.
Every release asset is published with a .sha256 sum next to it. Both install.sh and the updater verify the archive against that sum and abort on a mismatch.
For full documentation — installation, configuration, operations, and the complete API reference — visit docs.sanaei.dev.
Unattended install
The installer also runs non-interactively for cloud-init.
Set XUI_NONINTERACTIVE=1 (or pipe with no TTY) and it installs end-to-end with
zero prompts, generating random credentials and writing them to
/etc/x-ui/install-result.env. See deploy/ for:
- Cloud-init user-data — unattended install on any cloud (Hetzner/AWS/DO/Vultr/GCP/Azure/Oracle)
- Hetzner Cloud notes — cloud-init deployment on Hetzner
Supported Platforms
Operating systems: Ubuntu, Debian, Armbian, Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux, Amazon Linux, Virtuozzo, Arch, Manjaro, Parch, openSUSE (Tumbleweed / Leap), Alpine, and Windows.
Architectures: amd64 · 386 · arm64 (aarch64) · armv7 · armv6 · armv5 · s390x.
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 and 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 environment variables (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
