What is Argilla?

Argilla is a collaboration tool for AI engineers and domain experts who need to build high-quality datasets for their projects. It collects human feedback for traditional NLP such as text classification and named entity recognition, for LLM work such as RAG and preference tuning, and for multimodal models, with a web UI and a Python SDK. Run on your own server it is a self-hosted Argilla, an alternative to a hosted labelling vendor, under the Apache-2.0 licence.

On xCloud it is deployed as five containers pinned by digest: the Argilla server and a background worker, PostgreSQL 14, a single-node Elasticsearch 8.17.0 and Redis 7.4.5. The argilla_data, postgres_data, elasticsearch_data and redis_data volumes hold the state, and the owner login and API key are generated.

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

An Argilla install normally means a server, a worker, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Redis, an owner account, an API key, four volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first dataset. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Argilla from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and a server; the install form has no application fields, because xCloud generates the owner login, API key and database passwords.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start argilla-server v2.8.0 and a worker with postgres 14, Elasticsearch 8.17.0 and redis 7.4.5, all pinned by digest, mount four volumes and publish HTTPS. First boot runs migrations for two to five minutes.
Step 03
Sign In And Create A Dataset
Sign in with the owner username and password, confirm the default workspace and create a small dataset to annotate. Use the generated API key with the Python SDK; additional users are created by the owner.

Everything Argilla Does, On Your Own Server

Argilla 2.8.0 runs here as a private annotation server, with datasets, indexes and job state kept on volumes you own.

Collaboration Tool For Datasets
Argilla lets AI engineers and domain experts build and curate high-quality datasets together, in a web UI backed by your own database.
NLP, LLM And Multimodal Feedback
Upstream describes collecting human feedback for text classification and NER, RAG and preference tuning, and text-to-image style projects.
Filters, Suggestions And Semantic Search
Label data quickly with filters, AI feedback suggestions and semantic search, using the Elasticsearch index that runs beside the server.
Python SDK And API Key
A generated API key works with the Python SDK for programmatic access to your datasets, over your own HTTPS domain.
Owner Account, No Public Signup
The owner is created at install and there is no public signup, so only users the owner adds can sign in.
Four Persistent Volumes
Application files, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch indexes and Redis job state each live on their own volume, backed up together.

What You Can Do With Argilla

Collect human feedback on LLM outputs
Have reviewers rate and compare model responses in Argilla to build preference data for tuning, with the records on a server you control.
Label text for classification and NER
Annotate text with filters and AI suggestions, then pull the labelled dataset into your training pipeline through the Python SDK.
Curate a RAG evaluation set
Review retrieved passages and answers with domain experts and keep the curated set alongside your other project data.
Keep sensitive training data in-house
Annotate private text on infrastructure you own, rather than uploading it to a hosted labelling vendor.

Argilla vs Alternatives

Scale AI: If you are weighing a hosted labelling service, Argilla is software you run yourself, so annotators work in your own instance and the records stay on your volumes.
Labelbox: With Argilla on xCloud the datasets, search indexes and users sit on a server in your own account, under the Apache-2.0 licence.
Label Studio: Also a OneClick app; upstream focuses Argilla on human feedback for NLP, LLM and multimodal datasets, so compare the two on your own task.
doccano: Argilla here runs five containers, including PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch and Redis, with a 4 GB RAM minimum, so size that stack against your annotation needs.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Can I self-host Argilla with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Argilla Docker hosting without the compose file: the argilla-server v2.8.0 image and a worker, PostgreSQL 14, a single-node Elasticsearch 8.17.0 and Redis 7.4.5, all pinned by digest, with four named volumes and an HTTPS route to port 6900.

What services does Argilla run?

The server for the web UI and API, a background worker, PostgreSQL for users, workspaces and dataset metadata, Elasticsearch for search indexes, and Redis for job state. Only the server is published, on localhost behind HTTPS; the other four have no host ports.

How much RAM does Argilla need?

The template minimum is 2 CPU cores, 4096 MB of RAM and 20 GB of disk for the server, worker, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch with a 512 MB heap, and Redis. This page sells the 16 GB tier, since 4 GB leaves little headroom.

How do I log in to Argilla?

Open the application URL and sign in with the generated owner username and password from the credentials. There is no public signup, so the owner creates other users. Changing the owner values in the environment later does not rotate the stored owner.

How do I get the Argilla API key?

The generated API key is shown in the credentials panel. Use it with the Python SDK, pointing the SDK at your domain. Like the owner login, it is applied only when the owner is created, so editing it later in the environment does not change it.

Is Argilla an alternative to Label Studio?

Both annotate data. Upstream positions Argilla for NLP and LLM dataset quality with human feedback, and Label Studio is a separate tool available as its own OneClick app. Compare their interfaces on your task before choosing.

Is Argilla free?

Yes. Argilla is released under the Apache-2.0 licence, so the platform itself is free software. You pay for the dedicated Cloud VPS that runs the stack, and any model or service you connect may bill separately. Optional Hugging Face sign-in is not configured here.

How do I back up Argilla?

Back up all four volumes together with the Environment values: argilla_data, postgres_data, elasticsearch_data and redis_data. PostgreSQL holds users, workspaces and metadata. No backup is taken for you, so schedule one and restore it somewhere safe to check it.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Argilla?

Nothing upgrades itself: Argilla v2.8.0 and the sidecar images are pinned by digest. Review upstream release notes, back up all four volumes plus the Environment values, then adopt a newer xCloud template version when one is published and verify login and a dataset.

Is this an Argilla cloud service?

It is Argilla on a dedicated Cloud VPS under your xCloud login, an Argilla cloud of your own at your domain. Elasticsearch runs with security off because it is private, so never publish its ports.

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.
