AliasVault Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

AliasVault hosting on xCloud gives you a self-hosted password and email alias manager, end-to-end encrypted, on a server you control. Deploy AliasVault from the OneClick catalog and xCloud starts the pinned all-in-one image with its PostgreSQL, generates the admin password, mounts four persistent volumes and publishes the web app, API and admin panel over HTTPS. This is your own server, not AliasVault's cloud service.

What is AliasVault?

AliasVault is a privacy-first password and email alias manager. Its README says you create unique identities, strong passwords and random email aliases for every website, with fully end-to-end encrypted vaults, a built-in email server and zero third-party dependencies. Self-hosted AliasVault is a self-hosted password and email alias manager you run yourself, a privacy-first alternative to closed-source password managers. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0.

On xCloud this template deploys AliasVault 0.30.7 as the upstream all-in-one image, pinned by digest, serving the web app, API and admin panel on one HTTPS address. Four volumes hold the database, secrets, logs and certificates. Inbound SMTP ports 25 and 587 are not published, so private email domains cannot receive mail, and registration is open until you disable it.

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

Running AliasVault yourself means the app, a database, secrets, an admin account, a domain and a certificate before the first vault is created. Here the install form has no fields at all.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick AliasVault from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and server; there are no other fields, because xCloud generates the admin password for you.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We start the pinned AliasVault 0.30.7 all-in-one image, mount aliasvault_database, aliasvault_secrets, aliasvault_logs and aliasvault_certificates, write the admin password hash once, and publish it over HTTPS. First boot takes about two minutes.

  3. Step 03

    Create Accounts, Then Close Sign-Up

    Open your domain, choose Create account, and register. Then set PUBLIC_REGISTRATION_ENABLED=false in the Environment editor and redeploy. Point the apps and browser extension at your domain under their server URL setting.

Everything AliasVault Does, On Your Own Server

This template runs the upstream all-in-one AliasVault image, which bundles PostgreSQL, the API, the web app, the admin panel, an SMTP service and a task runner in one container.

  • End-To-End Encrypted Vaults

    Upstream says vaults are encrypted on your device before they reach the server, your master password never leaves it, and the server has no access to unencrypted data.

  • Passwords And Email Aliases

    Create unique identities, strong passwords and random email aliases for each website, managed together in one vault.

  • Browser Extensions And Apps

    Upstream ships browser extensions and native iOS and Android apps, which you point at your own server address in their settings.

  • Admin Panel

    An admin panel at /admin manages the instance. Set ADMIN_IP_ALLOWLIST to private or a list of addresses to restrict it, because the password alone protects it.

  • All-In-One Container

    The app, API, admin panel, PostgreSQL, SMTP service and task runner share one container, so there is no separate database service to run.

  • Secrets And Database Volumes

    The database and its encryption keys live on separate volumes that must be backed up together, because the database is unreadable without the secrets.

Everything You Need To Run Your AliasVault 24/7

Dedicated server hosting for AliasVault, so the machine under it is not your problem.

  • AliasVault 0.30.7 deployed
  • Image pinned by immutable digest
  • Admin password generated for you
  • Admin IP allowlist supported
  • Free SSL certificate
  • Docker app backups you schedule
  • 30+ server locations
  • Unused balance refunded

What You Can Do With AliasVault

  • Keep your own vault for passwords and aliases

    An individual hosts a vault of logins and email aliases on a server they rent, using the browser extension and mobile apps pointed at their own domain.

  • Run a small private password service for a household

    A family creates a few accounts, then closes public registration, so only the people they invited use the server and every vault is encrypted on the device.

  • Replace a closed-source password manager

    Someone leaving a closed-source password manager moves to a self-hosted vault they control, and checks the import options in upstream's docs before switching.

  • Lock down the admin panel to your network

    An admin sets ADMIN_IP_ALLOWLIST so /admin is reachable only from private addresses, while the apps keep using /api on the same domain.

AliasVault vs Alternatives

Bitwarden
Bitwarden is a password manager with hosted and self-hosted options. AliasVault is a separate project that adds a built-in email alias server, and this page makes no feature comparison.
SimpleLogin
SimpleLogin is an email alias service. AliasVault bundles aliases with a password vault in one self-hosted install, but inbound mail ports are not published on this template.
Vaultwarden
Vaultwarden is a separate Bitwarden-compatible server with its own OneClick page. Choose AliasVault when you want its alias manager and its own apps rather than Bitwarden clients.
addy.io
addy.io, formerly AnonAddy, is an email alias forwarder with its own OneClick page. AliasVault is a password vault that also manages aliases, with encrypted vaults on your device.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is AliasVault free?

Yes. AliasVault is open source under AGPL-3.0, and its licence file at the pinned 0.30.7 tag is linked here. xCloud bills for the Cloud VPS under it, not for AliasVault. Upstream also runs a separate cloud service, which this install is not and has no affiliation with.

Can you self-host AliasVault with Docker?

Yes, and this AliasVault Docker hosting template does it for you: the upstream all-in-one image, pinned by digest and built for amd64 and arm64, runs under Docker Compose on your own server, not in the AliasVault cloud, with the web app at / , the API at /api and the admin panel at /admin.

How much RAM does AliasVault need?

The manifest floor is 16 GB disk, 1024 MB RAM and one CPU core, which matches upstream's stated minimum. More accounts and stored attachments need more disk. The 6 GB tier sold here gives the bundled PostgreSQL room.

Is AliasVault end-to-end encrypted?

Upstream says all sensitive user data is encrypted end-to-end, including vault contents and received emails, that your master password never leaves your device, and that the server never holds unencrypted data. This page makes no further security claim, and backups are highly sensitive, so protect them.

Can AliasVault receive email at my own domain?

Not with this template. Inbound SMTP ports 25 and 587 are not published, so private email domains cannot receive mail here. The vault, passwords and passkeys work, but incoming alias mail does not, so plan another route if aliases are central to how you will use it.

Are there AliasVault mobile apps and browser extensions?

Yes. Upstream's README lists browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari and native iOS and Android apps. Point each at your own domain under its server URL setting. This page does not test them against this install, so confirm sign-in on your devices.

How do I reset the AliasVault admin password?

ADMIN_PASSWORD is written once on the first start, so editing it later does nothing. Run reset-admin-password -y inside the container, note the printed password, and restart the app. Sign in as admin at /admin, and consider ADMIN_IP_ALLOWLIST to restrict who can reach it.

How do I back up AliasVault?

Include aliasvault_database and aliasvault_secrets in the same backup, because the database is unreadable without the keys in the secrets volume. Both hold your users' encrypted vaults and credentials, so treat backups as highly sensitive, store them off the server, and test a restore.

How do I upgrade AliasVault?

Upgrades are not automatic. The template pins 0.30.7 and its multi-architecture digest, and an existing install is unaffected by catalog changes. Back up both volumes, review the upstream release, then adopt a newer template version when one is published, keeping both volumes.

Can anyone sign up to my AliasVault server?

Yes, until you close it: public registration is open on a fresh install, and each account uses disk space even though vaults are encrypted. Create your accounts, then set PUBLIC_REGISTRATION_ENABLED=false in the Environment editor and redeploy. Site-wide Basic Auth is not recommended, since the apps call /api.

What runs inside the AliasVault container?

PostgreSQL, the API, the web app, the admin panel, an SMTP service and a task runner, all in one container behind a single HTTP port. Only that port is proxied, over HTTPS, and the healthcheck calls /api, which answers 200 only when the database is reachable and migrated.

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.
