Installation guide

Run the following command

sudo bash -c "$(curl -sL https://github.com/Gozargah/Marzban-scripts/raw/master/marzban.sh)" @ install

Once the installation is complete:

• You will see the logs that you can stop watching them by closing the terminal or pressing Ctrl+C
• The Marzban files will be located at /opt/marzban
• The configuration file can be found at /opt/marzban/.env (refer to configurations section to see variables)
• The data files will be placed at /var/lib/marzban
• You can access the Marzban dashboard by opening a web browser and navigating to http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8000/dashboard/ (replace YOUR_SERVER_IP with the actual IP address of your server)

Next, you need to create a sudo admin for logging into the Marzban dashboard by the following command

marzban cli admin create --sudo

That's it! You can login to your dashboard using these credentials

To see the help message of the Marzban script, run the following command

marzban --help

If you are eager to run the project using the source code, check the section below

Manual install (advanced)

Install xray on your machine

You can install it using Xray-install

bash -c "$(curl -L https://github.com/XTLS/Xray-install/raw/main/install-release.sh)" @ install

Clone this project and install the dependencies (you need Python >= 3.8)

git clone https://github.com/Gozargah/Marzban.git
cd Marzban
wget -qO- https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3 -
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Alternatively, to have an isolated environment you can use Python Virtualenv

Then run the following command to run the database migration scripts

alembic upgrade head

If you want to use marzban-cli, you should link it to a file in your $PATH, make it executable, and install the auto-completion:

sudo ln -s $(pwd)/marzban-cli.py /usr/bin/marzban-cli
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/marzban-cli
marzban-cli completion install

Now it's time to configuration

Make a copy of .env.example file, take a look and edit it using a text editor like nano.

You probably like to modify the admin credentials.

cp .env.example .env
nano .env

Check configurations section for more information

Eventually, launch the application using command below

python3 main.py

To launch with linux systemctl (copy marzban.service file to /var/lib/marzban/marzban.service)

systemctl enable /var/lib/marzban/marzban.service
systemctl start marzban

To use with nginx

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    server_name  example.com;

    ssl_certificate      /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key  /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;

    location ~* /(dashboard|api|docs|redoc|openapi.json) {
        proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:8000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }

    # xray-core ws-path: /
    # client ws-path: /marzban/me/2087
    #
    # All traffic is proxed through port 443, and send to the xray port(2087, 2088 etc.).
    # The '/marzban' in location regex path can changed any characters by yourself.
    #
    # /${path}/${username}/${xray-port}
    location ~* /marzban/.+/(.+)$ {
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:$1/;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

or

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    server_name  marzban.example.com;

    ssl_certificate      /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key  /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:8000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

By default the app will be run on http://localhost:8000/dashboard. You can configure it using changing the UVICORN_HOST and UVICORN_PORT environment variables.

API

Marzban provides a REST API that enables developers to interact with Marzban services programmatically. To view the API documentation in Swagger UI or ReDoc, set the configuration variable DOCS=True and navigate to the /docs and /redoc.

Backup

It's always a good idea to backup your Marzban files regularly to prevent data loss in case of system failures or accidental deletion. Here are the steps to backup Marzban:

1. By default, all Marzban important files are saved in /var/lib/marzban (Docker versions). Copy the entire /var/lib/marzban directory to a backup location of your choice, such as an external hard drive or cloud storage.
2. Additionally, make sure to backup your env file, which contains your configuration variables, and also, your Xray config file. If you installed Marzban using marzban-scripts (recommended installation approach), the env and other configurations should be inside /opt/marzban/ directory.

By following these steps, you can ensure that you have a backup of all your Marzban files and data, as well as your configuration variables and Xray configuration, in case you need to restore them in the future. Remember to update your backups regularly to keep them up-to-date.

Telegram Bot

Marzban comes with an integrated Telegram bot that can handle server management, user creation and removal, and send notifications. This bot can be easily enabled by following a few simple steps, and it provides a convenient way to interact with Marzban without having to log in to the server every time.

To enable Telegram Bot:

1. set TELEGRAM_API_TOKEN to your bot's API Token
2. set TELEGRAM_ADMIN_ID to your Telegram account's numeric ID, you can get your ID from @userinfobot

Marzban CLI

Marzban comes with an integrated CLI named marzban-cli which allows administrators to have direct interaction with it.

If you've installed Marzban using easy install script, you can access the cli commands by running

marzban cli [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

For more information, You can read Marzban CLI's documentation.

Marzban Node

The Marzban project introduces the Marzban-node, which revolutionizes infrastructure distribution. With Marzban-node, you can distribute your infrastructure across multiple locations, unlocking benefits such as redundancy, high availability, scalability, flexibility. Marzban-node empowers users to connect to different servers, offering them the flexibility to choose and connect to multiple servers instead of being limited to only one server. For more detailed information and installation instructions, please refer to the Marzban-node official documentation

Webhook notifications

You can set a webhook address and Marzban will send the notifications to that address.

the requests will be sent as a post request to the adress provided by WEBHOOK_ADDRESS with WEBHOOK_SECRET as x-webhook-secret in the headers.

Example request sent from Marzban:

Headers:
Host: 0.0.0.0:9000
User-Agent: python-requests/2.28.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
