Contribute to Marzban

Thanks for considering contributing to Marzban!

Questions

Please don't ask your questions in issues. Instead, use one of the following ways to ask:

Reporting issues

Include the following information in your post:

  • Describe what you expected to happen.
  • Describe what actually happened. Include server logs or any error that browser shows.
  • If possible, post your xray json config file and what you have set in env (by censoring critical information).
  • Also tell the version of Marzban, Xray and docker (if you use docker) you are using.

Submitting a Pull Request

If there is not an open issue for what you want to submit, prefer opening one for discussion before working on a PR. You can work on any issue that doesn't have an open PR linked to it or a maintainer assigned to it. These show up in the sidebar. No need to ask if you can work on an issue that interests you.

Branches

When starting development on this project, please make sure to create a new branch off the dev branch. This helps to keep the master branch stable and free of any development work that may not be complete or fully tested.

Project Structure

.
├── app                      # Backend code (FastAPI - Python)
│   └── dashboard            # Frontend code (React - Typescript)
├── cli                      # CLI code (Typer - Python)
└── xray_api                 # Client of Xray's gRPC API

Backend

Backend is built using FastAPI and uses SQLAlchemy as the ORM for database operations. All Pydantic models can be found in the app/models directory, while all database-related operations and models are in the app/db directory. The migration scripts for the database (Alembic) can be found in the app/db/migrations directory.

Python Code Formatting

To maintain consistency in the codebase, we require all code to be formatted using

autopep8 <file> --max-line-length 120

Frontend

Frontend is pre-built and served by FastAPI from the app/dashboard/build directory. To rebuild the frontend, first make sure you have the necessary dependencies installed by running npm install in the app/dashboard directory. Then, simply remove the app/dashboard/build directory and run the Python code again, and it will rebuild the frontend automatically.

Components Library

Frontend uses Chakra-UI as the component library, so please adhere to the Chakra-UI approach when contributing. Strive to create components that are cohesive and serve a single purpose. Keep in mind that readability and maintainability are more important than brevity, so prioritize those factors when writing your code.

Marzban CLI

Marzban CLI is built using Typer, and its commands' code can be found in cli directory. Its documentation is generated using Typer CLI which can be re-generated by navigating to project's root directory and running the following command:

$ PYTHONPATH=$(pwd) typer marzban-cli.py utils docs --name "marzban-cli" --output ./cli/README.md

Debug Mode

To run the project in debug mode with auto-reload, you can set the environment variable DEBUG to true. then by running the main.py, the backend and frontend will run separately on different ports.

Note that you must first install the necessary npm packages by running npm install inside the app/dashboard directory before running in debug mode.

cd app/dashboard
npm install
cd ../..

If you run the project with debug mode off and delete the app/dashboard/build directory, the frontend will be rebuilt automatically on the next run. However, no rebuild will occur while inside debug mode."
