Thanks for considering contributing to Marzban!
Please don't ask your questions in issues. Instead, use one of the following ways to ask:
- Ask on our telegram group: @Gozargah_Marzban
- Ask on our GitHub Discussions for long term discussion or larger questions.
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.
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.
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.

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.
To maintain consistency in the codebase, we require all code to be formatted using
autopep8 <file> --max-line-length 120
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.
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 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 (typer-cli
package needs to be installed first):
$ PYTHONPATH=$(pwd) typer marzban-cli.py utils docs --name "" --output ./cli/README.md
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."
