* fix(postgres): make node traffic sync robust after public API inbound updates
The background NodeTrafficSyncJob (every 5s) started failing after a
successful POST /panel/api/inbounds/update/{id} (including flows that
inject streamSettings.externalProxy) with:
node traffic sync: merge for <node> failed:
ERROR: CASE types boolean and integer cannot be matched (SQLSTATE 42804)
Root cause:
- The merge lives in setRemoteTrafficLocked (called from SetRemoteTraffic).
- The client_traffics delta path used a dialect-sensitive expression:
enable = enable AND ?
last_online = GREATEST(last_online, ?)
- On PostgreSQL, GREATEST / AND / COALESCE are implemented with internal
CASE expressions. When "enable" columns (client_traffics, inbounds, ...)
were INTEGER (common after SQLite → PG data migrations, older
AutoMigrate, or mixed write paths) and the right-hand side was a
boolean parameter (from snapshot ClientStats or form-bound API payload),
PG rejected the expression at plan time.
- The public API update path (unlike the internal remote wire path)
always runs updateClientTraffics + UpdateClientStat + SyncInbound.
This touches client_traffics.enable rows for any inbound that has
clients.
- SQLite tolerated 0/1 numeric bools; PG is strict.
Fix:
- Use an explicit CASE with ::boolean casts in the critical enable
expression so the result type is always boolean.
- Make GreatestExpr emit safe casts on Postgres.
- Add a one-time normalization step in MigrationRequirements (runs on
startup + xray restarts) that forces the relevant enable/enabled
columns to boolean on Postgres using an idempotent DO block + USING
cast. This cleans up pre-existing skew without a full re-migration.
This branch is based on upstream/main (original mhsanaei/3x-ui main).
The node traffic sync now survives arbitrary public-API inbound
updates on PostgreSQL.
* fix: make client traffic enable merge expression safe on SQLite too
The previous commit introduced an explicit CASE for the "only node
can disable" logic in the node traffic sync merge to fix the PG
"CASE types boolean and integer cannot be matched" error after
public API inbound updates.
That expression used PostgreSQL-only `::boolean` casts:
CASE WHEN ?::boolean THEN enable::boolean ELSE false END
This is invalid syntax on SQLite (and would break the merge when
the client_traffics delta UPDATE runs — which is commonly triggered
right after an API /inbounds/update because that path calls
updateClientTraffics + SyncInbound and touches client_traffics rows).
Extracted the expression to a new dialect-aware helper
`ClientTrafficEnableMergeExpr()` (following the same pattern as
GreatestExpr, JSONClientsFromInbound, etc.).
- On Postgres: keeps the strict boolean-typed CASE with casts.
- On SQLite: uses a numeric-compatible form
`CASE WHEN ? THEN enable ELSE 0 END` that produces the expected
0/1 result matching the column affinity.
The logical behavior ("node may only force-disable, never re-enable")
is preserved on both databases.
This is a follow-up commit on the same branch so that one PR
contains both the original Postgres fix and the SQLite compatibility
fix.
Builds directly on top of 91643f68.

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
