Aptabase Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

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

Self-hosting Aptabase normally means two private databases, a domain and a certificate before an event is ever recorded. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Aptabase from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain — the template needs no other app-specific fields.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned Aptabase image alongside private PostgreSQL 15 and ClickHouse 23.8 services, and publish the dashboard and ingestion API over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Register And Create Your First App
Open your HTTPS URL, register, and open the activation link from the Aptabase container logs unless SMTP is configured. Create your first app to get an App Key and install an SDK.

Everything Aptabase Does, On Your Own Server

Aptabase runs in full here — the same SDK ingestion and dashboard tooling as any hosted analytics service, on infrastructure you control.

Mobile, Desktop And Web SDKs
Send events from any Aptabase SDK to the ingestion API running on your own domain, instead of a shared third-party endpoint.
One Dashboard, One Domain
The dashboard and ingestion API share a single xCloud-managed HTTPS address, so there is nothing extra to route or certify.
App Keys Per Project
Create an app in the dashboard to get an App Key, then point that app's SDK at it — the same flow Aptabase documents upstream.
Debug And Release Builds
Switch the dashboard's Debug/Release toggle to see events from release builds once you are past local testing.
Your Events, Your Server
Accounts and apps live in PostgreSQL; events live in ClickHouse — both private to your server, not a third-party analytics account.
Optional SMTP And OAuth
Add SMTP, GitHub or Google sign-in later through the Environment editor when you're ready, without rebuilding the install.

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.

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.

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 Aptabase?

Aptabase is open-source, privacy-first analytics for mobile, desktop and web apps, with SDKs for sending events and a dashboard for viewing them.

Is Aptabase free?

Yes — it is open source. What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the application itself.

Can I self-host Aptabase?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the pinned Aptabase image alongside private PostgreSQL 15 and ClickHouse 23.8 services and publishes the dashboard and ingestion API over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The Aptabase URL, the private PostgreSQL and ClickHouse services, the domain and the HTTPS route. Only the dashboard and ingestion API are published through xCloud-managed HTTPS — the databases are not.

Is there a default account?

No. You register with a magic link. Without SMTP configured, the activation link is written to the Aptabase container logs rather than emailed — there is no pre-filled login.

Why does my dashboard show no events?

It opens in Debug build mode. Switch the dashboard's Debug/Release toggle to Release to see events sent from release builds of your app.

Can anyone register on my instance?

Yes, by default — anyone who can reach the site can register until you restrict access. Limit it at the edge (for example with a firewall rule) if you want a single-tenant instance.

Can the AUTH_SECRET be changed later?

No — AUTH_SECRET should stay stable once the instance is in use. Treat it the same as any other application secret: set it once, and don't rotate it casually.

What should I back up?

Both the PostgreSQL and ClickHouse volumes together, as one application boundary, plus a stable AUTH_SECRET. Use application-aware snapshots for a consistent restore point and keep off-server copies.

Backups in xCloud

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Aptabase?

No. Upstream publishes no version tags, so upgrading means reviewing upstream notes, taking a coordinated backup, then replacing the image digest (and sidecar pins if they change) yourself.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 1024 MB of RAM, 2 CPU cores and 20 GB of disk as a floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier, comfortable headroom above that floor for PostgreSQL and ClickHouse running alongside the dashboard.

What survives a restart?

Accounts, apps, icons and ingested events — all of it lives on the PostgreSQL and ClickHouse volumes, which persist through a restart or redeploy.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Aptabase?

No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the Aptabase project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source Aptabase project.

Can I run other apps on the same server?

Yes. It is a dedicated Cloud VPS, not a locked appliance, so you can deploy other OneClick apps or your own sites beside it as long as the resources are there.

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.
