How do you get it running?

Requires Docker and xray binary/service to be running, dashboard alone won't function without a working xray backend.

In plain English

X-UI is a web-based control panel for running xray, a proxy server tool commonly used to route internet traffic through privacy-focused tunnels. The problem it solves is making xray easy to manage: without a panel like this, you'd have to edit complex configuration files by hand. X-UI gives you a visual dashboard to create and manage multiple proxy connections for multiple users at once. Through its web interface, you can set up connections using a range of proxy protocols, vmess, vless, trojan, shadowsocks, socks, and http. You can track how much data each connection uses, set traffic limits, and configure automatic HTTPS access to the panel itself with automatic SSL certificate renewal. There's also optional Telegram bot integration for notifications about traffic and logins. It runs on Linux servers (CentOS 7+, Ubuntu 16+, Debian 8+) and can be installed with a single shell command or via Docker. Someone self-hosting a private proxy server for personal use or for a small group of users would use this panel to configure and monitor everything from a browser instead of the command line.
