Egor 2d7c8c77f7 docs: add TUIC v5 to READMEs, guides, and protocol references (#6511)
* docs: add TUIC v5 to READMEs, guides, and protocol references

* docs: address review feedback on TUIC architecture, external links, and i18n parity

* docs(tuic): drop the Xray-routing claim and qualify Limit IP for TUIC

The README feature bullet in all seven locales credited the TUIC sidecar
with "seamless Xray routing". A TUIC inbound never enters the Xray config
(internal/web/service/xray.go skips model.TUIC) and the generated
tuic-server config carries no forwarding target, so decrypted TUIC
traffic egresses from the sidecar directly and Xray routing rules never
see it; docs/architecture.md in this same branch already says so. An
operator reading the bullet would expect geo blocking and outbound
selection to cover TUIC clients.

The client field table marks Total (GB) as inbound-level for TUIC but
left Limit IP at "all". The IP-limit job's only data source is Xray's
online-stats API (internal/web/job/check_client_ip_job.go), which TUIC
clients never reach, so a Limit IP set on a TUIC client is silently
unenforced. Qualify that row the same way in en, fa, ru and zh.

**3X-UI** is an advanced, open-source web control panel for managing [Xray-core](https://github.com/XTLS/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](docs/custom-subscription-templates.md).
- **Telegram bot** 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
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
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
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](https://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/`](deploy/) for:
- [Cloud-init user-data](deploy/cloud-init/) — unattended install on any cloud (Hetzner/AWS/DO/Vultr/GCP/Azure/Oracle)
- [Hetzner Cloud notes](deploy/marketplace/hetzner/) — 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
```bash
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:
```bash
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:
```bash
docker run -d --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --cap-add=NET_RAW ... ghcr.io/mhsanaei/3x-ui
```

| `NODE_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION` | Encryption at rest for node API tokens: `off`, `migration`, or `required` (note: no `XUI_` prefix) | `off` |
| `XUI_NODE_TOKEN_KEY_FILE` | JSON keyring (mode `0600`) holding the active key id and its base64 32-byte keys | `/etc/x-ui/node_token_key.json` |
| `XUI_NODE_TOKEN_KEY` | A single base64 32-byte key, used only when the key file cannot be loaded | — |
