From Sign-Up to a Live Alexandrie Install In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting a Markdown knowledge base normally means a database, S3-compatible storage, three domains and a signup gate before a single note exists. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick Alexandrie from the OneClick catalog, and choose a domain. xCloud generates the database and storage credentials and maps the web app, API and file storage domains.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned Alexandrie v8.14.2 image with MySQL 8.4 and RustFS 1.0.1, create the database and storage buckets, and publish all three domains over HTTPS.
Step 03
Create Your Account And Close Sign-Up
Open the HTTPS Alexandrie URL, choose Sign up to create your account, then set CONFIG_DISABLE_SIGNUP=true in the Environment editor and redeploy before creating your first note.

Everything Alexandrie Does, On Your Own Server

Alexandrie runs in full here — the same Markdown knowledge-base tooling as any hosted Notion or Obsidian alternative, on infrastructure you control.

Extended Markdown Editor
Write notes with an extended Markdown editor supporting LaTeX, diagrams and code snippets.
Nested Folders And Public Sharing
Organize documents in nested folders, and share individual notes through public links.
Your Own S3-Compatible File Storage
Image and file uploads are kept on your own S3-compatible storage, up to 20 MB per file and 1 GiB per account.
Optional Single Sign-On
Configure one OpenID Connect provider for single sign-on instead of managing separate Alexandrie passwords.
Installs As A Web App
Alexandrie installs as a PWA on desktop and mobile, so it opens like a native app.
Notes And Files Survive A Restart
The database and file storage live on persistent volumes, so notes, accounts and uploaded files survive an xCloud Restart.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Gary Moody

xCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.

Jorge de los Reyes Martínez

I use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

What is Alexandrie?

Alexandrie is a self-hosted, open-source Markdown knowledge base with an extended editor, nested folders, public-link sharing and offline-capable web-app support. This template deploys version 8.14.2.

What license is Alexandrie under?

Alexandrie is licensed under MIT.

What runs alongside Alexandrie?

A MySQL database and a RustFS S3-compatible storage server, both private to the install.

How do I sign in the first time?

There is no default login. Open the site, choose Sign up and create your account, then set CONFIG_DISABLE_SIGNUP=true in the Environment editor and redeploy to close registration to anyone else.

Why does the install have three domains?

The web app, its API and the file storage each use their own address, all mapped automatically by xCloud. Keep all three under one parent domain, otherwise sign-in appears to work and silently returns you to the login page.

Is there an administrator account?

The first account is a regular user, not an administrator. Administrator rights (user list, statistics) come from setting ADMIN_ACCOUNTS to your account ID in the Environment editor.

Can I use single sign-on?

Yes, one OpenID Connect provider can be configured in the Environment editor.

What should I back up?

The mysql_data volume (users, notes and settings) and the rustfs_data volume (uploaded files and in-app backups), ideally with a MySQL dump alongside a copy of the storage volume — Alexandrie's own in-app backup keeps archives for one day only. Keep JWT_SECRET stable, since a new value signs everyone out.

Backups in xCloud

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Alexandrie?

No. The template pins Alexandrie 8.14.2 by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. To upgrade, back up first, read the upstream release notes (database migrations run on backend start), then bump the readable tag and digest together.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 1 CPU, 512 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk as a floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier, comfortable headroom above that floor.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
