* feat(clients): cap how many times a client may auto-renew Auto-renew today runs forever: a prepaid or fixed-term client keeps being handed new periods until an operator remembers to switch it off. There is no way to say "renew this three times, then let it lapse". Add a per-client maximum. Zero keeps today's behaviour, so nothing changes for anyone who does not set one. When the count is reached the client is simply left to expire, like any client without auto-renew. Catching up several missed periods spends one allowance per period. A client that was away for three cycles must not receive three of them free of the cap, and the catch-up stops at the last period the cap paid for rather than jumping to the present. * fix(clients): persist the auto-renew cap and stop the capped churn resetMax lived only in the inbound settings JSON and client_traffics, so every path that rebuilds a client from the clients table wrote it back as zero. The edit dialog showed 0 for a capped client, and saving an unrelated comment change lifted the cap; an attach or a traffic reset did the same with no operator action at all. Adds reset_max to ClientRecord and threads it through ToRecord, ToClient, applyClientRecordMerge, the record update map and ClientSlim, so the cap survives the round trip. When the cap truncates a catch-up the client is still expired, but the renewal side effects fired anyway: counters were zeroed for periods it can never use, and it was enabled and pushed to xray only for disableInvalidClients to undo both in the same transaction. Those are now skipped when the new expiry has not reached the present. Also makes any non-positive resetMax mean unlimited instead of silently meaning "never renew again", rejects a negative one at the service layer, surfaces renewals used against allowed in the client info modal so the operator can see what to raise, adds the field to the bulk-add modal, translates the labels in all 13 locales, and drops the stray internal/web/dist/.gitkeep build stub. * fix(clients): let the renewal cap be changed after creation ClientService.Update writes the record columns directly only for a client with no inbounds. The normal path goes through SyncInbound and applyClientRecordMerge, which this change had not extended, so raising a cap from 3 to 6 — the natural action when a customer buys another block of periods — updated the inbound settings JSON while clients.reset_max kept the old value and the renewal query kept enforcing it. The existing test did not catch it: it asserted the cap survived an unrelated edit, and it survived precisely because nothing on that path ever wrote it. TestClientEditChangesTheRenewalCap raises the cap and then lifts it entirely; removing the record write turns it red. * chore: drop the accidentally committed dist build stub internal/web/dist/.gitkeep is what make dist-stub creates locally. Committing it changes fresh-clone behaviour for everyone: today a bare go build fails loudly on //go:embed all:dist, which is the documented signal to run the stub target; with the file present the build succeeds and the panel serves an empty dist instead. --------- Co-authored-by: n0ctal <n0ctal@users.noreply.github.com>

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 and custom page templates.
- 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.

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. v3.4.0):
bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhsanaei/3x-ui/master/install.sh) v3.4.0
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.
For full documentation, please visit the project Wiki.
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
