Common 3x-ui Server Setup

Install

bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MHSanaei/3x-ui/master/install.sh)
/usr/local/x-ui/x-ui setting -username admin -password '<YOUR_PASSWORD>'
systemctl restart x-ui

Never set the bcrypt password via raw SQL — shell $ corrupts hashes.

Default panel: http://<IP>:54321/<PANEL_PATH>. For production use HTTPS below (v3.0.2 built-in HTTPS is broken).

Panel HTTPS (nginx + Let's Encrypt)

Prerequisites: port 80 open, subdomain DNS → server IP, nginx installed.

1. Bind panel to localhost

sqlite3 /etc/x-ui/x-ui.db "UPDATE settings SET value='2053' WHERE key='webPort';"
sqlite3 /etc/x-ui/x-ui.db "UPDATE settings SET value='127.0.0.1' WHERE key='webListen';"
systemctl restart x-ui
# ss -tlnp | grep 2053  → 127.0.0.1:2053

2. nginx TLS terminator on 54321

Write an nginx site config with:

• listen 54321 ssl and server_name <panel.example.com>
• location / -> proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2053
• listen 80 ACME server block with /.well-known/acme-challenge/
• redirect http:// to https://<panel.example.com>:54321

When running remotely through SSH, write the config with the base64 pattern from vpn-server-access.

3. certbot

certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/html -d <panel.example.com>
# Point ssl_certificate paths to /etc/letsencrypt/live/.../fullchain.pem and privkey.pem
nginx -t && systemctl reload nginx

API base becomes: https://<panel.example.com>:54321/<PANEL_PATH>/

API login helper

import requests

def login(base, password):
    s = requests.Session()
    s.get(f"{base}/", timeout=10)
    csrf = s.get(f"{base}/csrf-token",
        headers={"X-Requested-With": "XMLHttpRequest"}, timeout=10).json()["obj"]
    s.post(f"{base}/login",
        json={"username": "admin", "password": password},
        headers={"X-CSRF-Token": csrf, "X-Requested-With": "XMLHttpRequest"}, timeout=10)
    csrf = s.get(f"{base}/csrf-token",
        headers={"X-Requested-With": "XMLHttpRequest"}, timeout=10).json()["obj"]
    return s, {"X-CSRF-Token": csrf, "X-Requested-With": "XMLHttpRequest"}
