* fix(db): additional cross-DB and node traffic edge cases
- ExternalProxy migration: change StreamSettings scan from []byte
to string (text column on both SQLite and Postgres). Use []byte()
for json.Unmarshal. Avoids potential scan/encoding differences
in migration of old multi-domain data on PG.
- Node mirror inbound creation and updates in SetRemoteTraffic:
now copy LastTrafficResetTime from the node's reported snapshot.
Previously, resets done on the node (or via API that affects
node-owned inbounds) would not update the grace period tracking
on the central mirror. This improves traffic reset + node traffic
combining accuracy when using the public API to manage node
inbounds or when nodes perform resets.
These are independent additional issues around node traffic
combining, creating mirrored node inbounds from snapshots,
and migration code that can affect Postgres (or mixed) setups
after API changes or node operations. They do not depend on the
previous enable-merge or tag/sub fixes.
Base: upstream/main (separate PR).
* fix(db): even more node/SQLite edge cases (chunked IN for node stats, tag cleanup)
- In NodeService.GetAll (used for node list/stats): the load of client_traffics
for node inbound IDs used a direct "IN ?" with all IDs. On SQLite this
can hit the bind var limit ("too many SQL variables") when there are
many nodes/inbounds. Chunked using the existing chunkInts + sqliteMaxVars
(same pattern as other large IN queries in the package). This is a
specific scale issue for "node" setups on SQLite (PG is fine with large IN).
- Tag cleanup raw in MigrationRequirements (always runs at startup):
was using SQLite-only INSTR. Fixed to use position() on PG (same as
the previous tag fix on the main branch). Prevents startup crash on PG
after node/inbound API changes that leave old tags.
These are additional specific cases around node traffic/stats combining,
node inbound counts, and startup migrations that can affect Postgres
users or large SQLite node deployments. They are independent of the
enable/traffic core fixes and the prior additional ones.
Added to the clean additional-issues branch for the separate PR.
* fix(db): even more for node traffic merge on 5045 (dialect enable expr + chunk gone deletes)
- Full dialect-safe client enable merge in setRemoteTrafficLocked:
- Added ClientTrafficEnableMergeExpr() helper (PG CASE with ::boolean
casts to avoid type errors; SQLite numeric for affinity).
- Updated GreatestExpr with ::bigint casts on PG.
- Switched the merge UPDATE from "enable AND ?" to the helper.
This completes the node traffic sync safety for the "only node can
disable" logic across DBs (core of the original symptom after API
inbound updates on nodes).
- Chunked the NodeClientTraffic delete for "goneEmails" (when a node's
snapshot no longer includes clients previously attached to a mirrored
inbound). The "email IN ?" could exceed SQLite bind limit for nodes
with many clients (after API deletes, bulk ops, or structural changes).
Uses chunkStrings + sqliteMaxVars (consistent with the node stats chunk
we added earlier).
These are direct extensions of node traffic combining, mirrored inbound
lifecycle, and API-driven changes that affect client_traffics / NodeClientTraffic
for nodes. Stayed on the clean 5045 branch as requested.

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, Hysteria2, 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.
- 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, 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.
- Outbound & routing — WARP, NordVPN, custom routing rules, load balancers, and outbound proxy chaining.
- Built-in subscription server with multiple output formats.
- Telegram bot for remote monitoring and management.
- RESTful API with in-panel Swagger documentation.
- Flexible storage — SQLite (default) or PostgreSQL.
- 13 UI languages with dark and light themes.
- Fail2ban integration for enforcing per-client IP limits.
Screenshots
Quick Start
bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhsanaei/3x-ui/master/install.sh)
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.
For full documentation, please visit the project Wiki.
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
