Tutorial - How To Fix CPU and RAM Overload on XtreamUI

Watching your XtreamUI panel's CPU and RAM usage spike into the red is one of the most stressful things ever. Your streams start to buffer, customers get annoyed, and your whole server feels like it's about to give up. It's a huge pain.

If you're tired of dealing with this, you're in the right place. In this tutorial, we're going to show you exactly how to fix CPU and RAM overload on XtreamUI. We'll walk through some powerful server optimizations you can do right now. Plus, we'll introduce you to a game-changing alternative that makes these problems a thing of the past.


First, Why Is This Happening?

Before we dive into the fix, it helps to know what's causing the trouble. Often, the default settings on a server are not prepared for the heavy lifting that an IPTV panel requires.

Think of your server like a regular family car. It's great for daily driving, but if you try to haul a giant boat with it, the engine is going to overheat. Your server is trying to haul that boat! The default limits and network settings just aren't designed for thousands of connections, and that's what causes the CPU and RAM overload on your XtreamUI panel.

The Step-by-Step Guide to Fix Overload Manually

Alright, let's get our hands dirty and give your server the tune-up it desperately needs. Follow these steps carefully, and you should see a big improvement.

Step 1: Basic Housekeeping

First, a couple of quick checks. It's always a good idea to make sure your system is running smoothly.

  • Make sure pid_monitor is running in your crons. This little tool helps keep processes in check.
  • Use the stream tools in your panel to clean up the streams_sys table. A cluttered database can slow things down.

Step 2: Increase Your Server's Limits (ulimit)

Think of ulimit as the number of tasks your server is allowed to juggle at once. On most systems, this number is set way too low for an IPTV server. We're going to give it a massive boost.

First, check your current limit with this command:

ulimit -u

If it shows a low number like 1024, it's time to increase it. Open the limits configuration file:

nano /etc/security/limits.conf

Scroll to the very bottom and add these lines:

# Add to the end of /etc/security/limits.conf* hard nofile 500000 * soft nofile 500000 root hard nofile 500000 root soft nofile 500000 * soft nproc 500000 * hard nproc 500000 root soft nproc 500000 root hard nproc 500000

Now save the file and close it.

Step 3: Opimize Your Network Settings (sysctl)

Next, we're going to optimize your server's network traffic. The sysctl.conf file is like the main control board for your server's network. We're going to tweak the settings to handle a huge amount of traffic without breaking a sweat, kind of like widening a highway to prevent traffic jams.

Open the file to edit it:

nano /etc/sysctl.conf

Scroll to the bottom and paste in all of these settings:

# Add to the end of /etc/sysctl.confnet.core.somaxconn = 6815744 net.ipv4.route.flush=1 net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save=1 net.ipv4.tcp_moderate_rcvbuf = 1 fs.file-max = 6815744 fs.aio-max-nr = 6815744 fs.nr_open = 6815744 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000 net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1 net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0 net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 10000000 10000000 10000000 net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 10000000 10000000 10000000 net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 10000000 10000000 10000000 net.core.rmem_max = 524287 net.core.wmem_max = 524287 net.core.rmem_default = 524287 net.core.wmem_default = 524287 net.core.optmem_max = 524287 net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 300000 net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog = 300000 net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_max=1215196608 net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1 vm.max_map_count = 655300 net.ipv4.tcp_max_tw_buckets = 1440000

Save and close the file. Now, apply the changes with this command:

sudo sysctl -p

Step 4: Reboot and Check Your Work

The final step is to reboot your server to make sure all the new settings are active. Once it's back online, you can run the check commands again to verify everything worked:

ulimit -u

This should now show 500000.

What is required to create an IPTV Server?

Setting up your own IPTV server requires careful planning and resources. Here's what you need to know:

Technical Requirements:

  • Solid understanding of streaming software and willingness to learn
  • Dedicated servers (not provided by us) with sufficient resources
  • Reliable IPTV software for high-quality streaming and channel restreaming
  • Stable internet connection with high bandwidth capacity

Business Considerations:

If you have an existing client base that can cover server, streaming, and software costs, you can proceed with building your own system. However, if you're just starting out, we recommend:

  • Initially working as a distributor to build your client base
  • Establishing sub-resellers under your umbrella
  • Growing your business before investing in costly server infrastructure

This approach allows you to learn the business while minimizing initial investment risks.
