Overview

Marzneshin is a censorship circumvention tool utilizing other censorship circumvention tools.

Dashboard enables access to nodes(configurations, status and stats, logs), hosts, users, service entities; while providing monitoring and system statistics.

On the other hand, the backend manages nodes, users, users' subscriptions, etc.

Marzneshin controls the Marznodes connected to it; monitoring/disabling/enabling users on marznode instances while marznode manages and interacts with vpn backends (such as xray).

Features

• Web UI Dashboard
• Multi Nodes support for traffic distribution, scalability, and fault tolerance
• Supports protocols Vmess, VLESS, Trojan and Shadowsocks as provided by xray
• Multi-protocol for a single user
• Manage users' access to inbounds separately
• Multi-user on a single inbound
• Limit users' data and set exire dates
• reset traffic periodically (daily, weekly,...)
• Subscription link compatible with V2ray (e.g. V2RayNG, OneClick, Nekoray, etc.), Clash and ClashMeta
• Automated Share link and QRcode generator
• System, nodes, traffic statistics, users monitoring
• Integrated Command Line Interface (CLI)
• Multi-admin support (WIP)
• Marzneshin is decoupled from VPN backends
• Resilient and fault tolerant node management
• UI performance and redesign

Deployment and Developer Kit:

• REST-full API
• Kubernetes and multiple deployment strategy and options (WIP)

Supported Languages

• Russian (WIP)
• English
• Kurdish (Soranî, Kurmancî)
• Persian (WIP)

Installation guide

Run the following command

sudo bash -c "$(curl -sL https://github.com/khodedawsh/Marzneshin/raw/master/script.sh)" @ install

To install with mariadb:

sudo bash -c "$(curl -sL https://github.com/khodedawsh/Marzneshin/raw/master/script.sh)" @ install --database mariadb

You could also use mysql by writing mysql instead, however mariadb is recommended. Also to install the latest nightly release use the --nightly option.

Once the installation is complete:

• You'd notice the logs, which you could stop watching by pressing Ctrl+C; The process will continue running normally.
• the configuration file can be found at /etc/opt/marzneshin/.env (refer to configurations section to see variables)
• Data files will be placed at /var/lib/marzneshin; e.g. the sqlite database.
• You can access the Marzneshin dashboard by opening a web browser and navigating to http://<SERVER_IP>:8000/dashboard/

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

marzneshin cli admin create --sudo

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

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

marzneshin --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'd need Python >= 3.10)

git clone https://github.com/khodedawsh/Marzneshin
cd Marzneshin/
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 marzneshin-cli, you should link it to a file in your $PATH, make it executable, and install the auto-completion:

sudo ln -s $(pwd)/marzneshin-cli.py /usr/bin/marzneshin-cli
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/marzneshin-cli
marzneshin-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 marzneshin.service file to /var/lib/marzneshin/marzneshin.service)

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

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|static|locales|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: /marzneshin/me/2087
    #
    # All traffic is proxed through port 443, and send to the xray port(2087, 2088 etc.).
    # The '/marzneshin' in location regex path can changed any characters by yourself.
    #
    # /${path}/${username}/${xray-port}
    location ~* /marzneshin/.+/(.+)$ {
        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;
    }

Backup

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

1. By default, all Marzneshin important files are saved in /var/lib/marzneshin (Docker versions). Copy the entire /var/lib/marzneshin 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. If you installed Marzneshin using the script (recommended installation approach), the env and other configurations should be inside /etc/opt/marzneshin/ directory.

By following these steps, you can ensure that you have a backup of all your Marzneshin 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

Marzneshin 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 Marzneshin 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

Marzneshin CLI

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

If you've installed Marzneshin using the installation script, you can access the cli commands by running

marzneshin cli [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

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

marznode

marznode is the backend needed to run proxy servers.

Webhook notifications
