Sanaei f8e89cc848 fix(mtproto): reap orphaned mtg, fix SysLog viewer, mtg log visibility, export remark (#5105) (#5107)
* fix(logs): render journalctl output in the SysLog viewer

The log viewer's parseLogLine only understood the app-log format
(2006/01/02 15:04:05 LEVEL - body). With SysLog ticked the backend
returns journalctl lines (Mon DD HH:MM:SS host ident[pid]: LEVEL - body),
so the parser mistook the journal time for the level and dropped the
body, leaving only timestamps. Detect and strip the journald prefix,
keep the journal timestamp as the stamp, then parse the real level and
body from the remainder.

* feat(mtproto): surface mtg output and add status reporting

mtg's stdout/stderr was captured by a writer that kept only the last
line and showed it nowhere, so the reason a proxy could not reach
Telegram was invisible. Stream mtg output line-by-line into the x-ui
log, tagged per inbound, so it appears in the panel log viewer and
journald.

Also fix mangled log lines: logger.Info uses fmt.Sprint, which drops
the space between adjacent string operands, producing output like
'inbound3on0.0.0.0:8443'. Switch the affected mtproto calls to the
formatted (*f) variants.

Add show_mtproto_status to x-ui.sh so 'x-ui status' reports each
mtproto inbound's mtg process state and bind address.

* fix(logs): parse all journalctl message shapes in SysLog viewer

Real journalctl output mixes four message shapes after the
'Mon DD HH:MM:SS host ident[pid]:' prefix: go-logging 'LEVEL - msg'
(x-ui/xray), Go std-log with an embedded date (net/http, runtime),
telego's '[timestamp] LEVEL msg', and systemd lines. The viewer only
understood the first, so std-log and telego lines — which never contain
' - ' — collapsed to a bare timestamp (e.g. the 8s telego 409 spam).

Extract the parser into a pure, testable module and teach it the other
shapes: strip the redundant Go std-log date, lift the level out of
telego brackets, and always keep the message body. Add a unit test
covering each shape with real captured lines.

* fix(mtproto): reap orphaned mtg sidecars so a stale one can't break new clients

On Linux x-ui does not kill its mtg children when it dies (no kill-on-exit,
unlike the Windows job object). After a crash, OOM, kill -9, or update, a
stale mtg keeps holding the inbound port with an OLD secret, so new clients
fail the FakeTLS handshake and get silently domain-fronted to the fakeTLS
domain instead of proxied to Telegram (a few MB of traffic, never connects).

Sweep orphans at startup: on the first reconcile, before x-ui starts any of
its own mtg, scan /proc and SIGKILL any process whose executable is our
mtg-<goos>-<goarch> binary. x-ui is the sole owner of mtg, so anything alive
then is an orphan. Runs once per process (swept guard), survives the
binary-deleted-during-update case via /proc/<pid>/cmdline, and is a no-op on
Windows (job object) and other platforms.

Also clear stray mtg in update.sh/install.sh after stopping x-ui, anchored to
the 'mtg-linux-<arch> run ' invocation so the pattern can't match unrelated
command lines (e.g. x-ui.sh's own 'grep mtg-linux').

* fix(logs): drop dead body initializer flagged by eslint no-useless-assignment

* fix(mtproto): drop remark fragment from tg://proxy export link

The mtproto export link appended the inbound remark as a URL fragment
(tg://proxy?server=...&port=...&secret=...#remark). Telegram Desktop
rejects a proxy deep link with a trailing fragment as 'This proxy link
is invalid', breaking one-click import, and a remark is meaningless for
proxy links across clients. Stop adding it in both the panel link
(genMtprotoLink) and the subscription service. Fixes #5105.

* fix(x-ui.sh): remove unused check_mtproto_status helper

show_mtproto_status does its own process check, so check_mtproto_status
was dead code. Drop it (per Copilot review on #5107).

3x-ui

Release Build GO Version Downloads License Go Reference Go Report Card

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.

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

Environment Variables

Variable Description Default
XUI_DB_TYPE Database backend: sqlite or postgres sqlite
XUI_DB_DSN PostgreSQL connection string (when XUI_DB_TYPE=postgres)
XUI_DB_FOLDER Directory for the SQLite database file /etc/x-ui
XUI_DB_MAX_OPEN_CONNS Maximum open connections (PostgreSQL pool)
XUI_DB_MAX_IDLE_CONNS Maximum idle connections (PostgreSQL pool)
XUI_ENABLE_FAIL2BAN Enable Fail2ban-based IP-limit enforcement true
XUI_LOG_LEVEL Log verbosity (debug, info, warning, error) info
XUI_DEBUG Enable debug mode false

Supported Languages

The panel UI is available in 13 languages:

English · فارسی · العربية · 中文(简体) · 中文(繁體) · Español · Русский · Українська · Türkçe · Tiếng Việt · 日本語 · Bahasa Indonesia · Português (Brasil)
