S-UI Backup

Language: English | Русский

Personal backup / survival archive of S-UI.

The original upstream repository alireza0/s-ui became unavailable for me and started returning 404 for the repository, releases, raw install script and the author profile. This repository is kept as a personal backup of a known working S-UI installation.

This is not an official S-UI repository.

The db/ directory is intentionally kept without the real database.

Important security warning

Do not upload a real s-ui.db to a public GitHub repository.

A real S-UI database may contain:

• admin panel settings
• users
• UUIDs
• Reality keys
• subscription data
• domains
• ports
• traffic limits
• other sensitive server configuration

This public backup should not contain:

s-ui.db
s-ui.db-wal
s-ui.db-shm
*.sqlite
*.sqlite3

Recommended .gitignore:

*.db
*.db-wal
*.db-shm
*.sqlite
*.sqlite3
*.log

Easy Installation / Restoration on a New VPS

Clone the script and run it:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FireTIA/S_UI_Backup/refs/heads/main/first-install-S-UI.sh -o first-install-S-UI.sh && sudo bash first-install-S-UI.sh

Install / restore on a new VPS

Target system: Ubuntu/Debian with systemd.

Install required tools:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y git sqlite3 ca-certificates

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/FireTIA/S_UI_Backup.git
cd S_UI_Backup/root/s-ui-survival

Stop old S-UI service if it exists:

sudo systemctl stop s-ui 2>/dev/null || true

Create install directories:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/s-ui/db

Copy S-UI files:

sudo cp -f sui.bin /usr/local/s-ui/sui
sudo cp -f s-ui.sh /usr/local/s-ui/s-ui.sh
sudo cp -f s-ui.service /usr/local/s-ui/s-ui.service

Fix permissions:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/s-ui/sui
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/s-ui/s-ui.sh

Install the systemd service:

sudo cp -f /usr/local/s-ui/s-ui.service /etc/systemd/system/s-ui.service

Install the s-ui management command:

sudo cp -f s-ui-command /usr/bin/s-ui
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/s-ui

Reload systemd and start S-UI:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now s-ui

Check service status:

sudo systemctl status s-ui --no-pager

Open the S-UI management menu:

sudo s-ui

Alternative restore from the archived folder

If you prefer to restore from the archived directory tree instead of loose files:

cd S_UI_Backup/root/s-ui-survival

Copy the archived install tree:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/s-ui
sudo cp -a s-ui-full-2026-05-11/usr/local/s-ui/. /usr/local/s-ui/

Fix permissions:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/s-ui/sui
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/s-ui/s-ui.sh

Install service and command:

sudo cp -f /usr/local/s-ui/s-ui.service /etc/systemd/system/s-ui.service
sudo cp -f s-ui-command /usr/bin/s-ui
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/s-ui

Start S-UI:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now s-ui
sudo s-ui

Restore a private database backup

Only do this if you have your own private s-ui.db backup.

Do not use a database from an untrusted source.

Stop S-UI:

sudo systemctl stop s-ui

Remove old database files:

sudo rm -f /usr/local/s-ui/db/s-ui.db
sudo rm -f /usr/local/s-ui/db/s-ui.db-wal
sudo rm -f /usr/local/s-ui/db/s-ui.db-shm

Copy your private database:

sudo cp -f s-ui.db /usr/local/s-ui/db/s-ui.db

Fix permissions:

sudo chown root:root /usr/local/s-ui/db/s-ui.db
sudo chmod 600 /usr/local/s-ui/db/s-ui.db

Check SQLite integrity:

sudo sqlite3 /usr/local/s-ui/db/s-ui.db "PRAGMA integrity_check;"

Start S-UI:

sudo systemctl start s-ui

Check status:

sudo systemctl status s-ui --no-pager

Verify files

From the repository root:

cd S_UI_Backup

Check SHA256 sums:

sha256sum -c checksums.sha256

Other checksum files are also included:

checksums.md5
checksums.sha1
checksums.sha512
checksums.hash

If your checksum tool uses different path formatting, manually compare the hashes for important files:

sha256sum root/s-ui-survival/sui.bin
sha256sum root/s-ui-survival/s-ui.sh
sha256sum root/s-ui-survival/s-ui.service
sha256sum root/s-ui-survival/s-ui-command

Logs

Check S-UI service logs:

sudo journalctl -u s-ui -e --no-pager

Follow logs live:

sudo journalctl -u s-ui -f

Useful commands

Open the management menu:

sudo s-ui

Restart S-UI:

sudo systemctl restart s-ui

Stop S-UI:

sudo systemctl stop s-ui

Start S-UI:

sudo systemctl start s-ui

Check service state:

sudo systemctl status s-ui --no-pager

Notes

Do not use the built-in update option unless you know exactly where the update source points.

The original upstream disappeared for me, so the update function may fail or break the installation.

Recommended approach:

• keep this repository as an archive
• test restore on a separate VPS first
• do not overwrite a working production installation without a private backup
• keep real database backups private
• keep at least one offline copy of the original full backup
