Dashboard

We made an official web dashboard providing first class support for this project, check it out at metacubexd

Wiki

Configuration examples can be found at /docs/config.yaml, while documentation can be found Clash.Meta Wiki.

Build

You should install golang first.

Then get the source code of Clash.Meta:

git clone https://github.com/MetaCubeX/Clash.Meta.git
cd Clash.Meta && go mod download

If you can't visit GitHub, you should set proxy first:

go env -w GOPROXY=https://goproxy.io,direct

Now you can build it:

go build

If you need gvisor for tun stack, build with:

go build -tags with_gvisor

IPTABLES configuration

Work on Linux OS which supported iptables

# Enable the TPROXY listener
tproxy-port: 9898

iptables:
  enable: true # default is false
  inbound-interface: eth0 # detect the inbound interface, default is 'lo'

General installation guide for Linux

• Create user given name clash-meta

• Download and decompress pre-built binaries from releases

• Rename executable file to Clash-Meta and move to /usr/local/bin/

• Create folder /etc/Clash-Meta/ as working directory

Run Meta Kernel by user clash-meta as a daemon.

Create the systemd configuration file at /etc/systemd/system/Clash-Meta.service:

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/Clash-Meta -d /etc/Clash-Meta
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
