AstrBot Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy AstrBot hosting and run a self-hosted AI chatbot platform that connects an LLM to your messaging apps on a dedicated Cloud VPS. xCloud starts the pinned AstrBot v4.28.2 container with a web dashboard, generates the login, keeps plugins, knowledge bases and settings on a persistent volume with anonymous metrics off, and serves the dashboard over HTTPS on your own domain.

What is AstrBot?

AstrBot is an open-source, all-in-one agent chatbot platform that integrates with mainstream instant messaging apps. It offers LLM conversations, multimodal input, agents, MCP, skills, a knowledge base and persona settings, with a web dashboard and plugin extensions. Run on your own server it is a self-hosted AstrBot, an alternative to a hosted bot builder such as Coze, with which it can also integrate, under the AGPL-3.0, so offering it as a network service means offering the source.

On xCloud it is one container, soulter/astrbot v4.28.2 pinned by digest, with the astrbot_data volume at /AstrBot/data holding configuration, JWT secret, plugins and knowledge bases. No LLM ships with it; you add a provider. Reverse-WebSocket ports such as 6199 are not published, and anonymous metrics are turned off.

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

An AstrBot install normally means a container, a dashboard password that meets its rules, a data volume, a public callback URL, a domain and a certificate before the first message. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick AstrBot from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and a server; the install form has no application fields, because xCloud generates the dashboard password.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start soulter/astrbot v4.28.2, pinned by digest, as one container, mount astrbot_data at /AstrBot/data, set the generated dashboard password and turn anonymous metrics off. It is usually ready within about a minute.
Step 03
Sign In, Set The Callback URL And Add A Provider
Sign in as astrbot with the generated password, set callback_api_base to your site's HTTPS URL so platforms can reach webhooks, then add an LLM provider and connect the messaging platforms you need.

Everything AstrBot Does, On Your Own Server

AstrBot v4.28.2 runs here as one dashboard-managed container, with its configuration, plugins and knowledge bases kept on a volume you own.

Chatbot For Your Messaging Apps
AstrBot is an all-in-one agent chatbot platform that integrates with mainstream instant messaging apps such as QQ, Telegram, Slack, Feishu and DingTalk.
LLM Conversations And Agents
Upstream lists LLM conversations, multimodal input, agents, MCP, skills, a knowledge base, persona settings and automatic context compression.
Plugin Extensions
Install plugins from the marketplace, kept with your configuration on astrbot_data, to extend what the bot can do.
Agent Sandbox Is Separate
Upstream's agent sandbox runs through a separate Shipyard service, which this template does not deploy, so sandboxed code execution needs your own setup.
Web Dashboard And Chat UI
Manage providers, platforms and plugins from the WebUI, and use the web chat UI, over your own HTTPS domain.
Generated Login, Metrics Off
A dashboard login is enforced from the first boot, with a generated password. Anonymous usage metrics are disabled by the template.

What You Can Do With AstrBot

Put an LLM chatbot into your team chat
Connect AstrBot to Telegram, Slack, Feishu or DingTalk so colleagues talk to a model from the app they already use.
Run a bot on QQ and other platforms from one dashboard
Add several messaging platforms in the dashboard and manage one persona and knowledge base behind all of them.
Give a bot a knowledge base
Load documents into a knowledge base so replies draw on your material, stored on the astrbot_data volume you back up.
Extend a bot with plugins
Install marketplace plugins for extra commands, after reviewing what each one can do on your server.

AstrBot vs Alternatives

Coze: Upstream lists Coze among the agent platforms AstrBot can integrate with; AstrBot itself is AGPL-3.0 software you run yourself, with configuration and knowledge bases on your own volume.
OpenClaw: Also a OneClick app; AstrBot centres on connecting an LLM to QQ, Telegram, Slack, Feishu and other messaging apps, so compare on that focus.
ZeroClaw: Also a OneClick app; AstrBot is managed from a web dashboard with a plugin marketplace, so weigh that model when choosing.
Hermes Agent: Also a OneClick app; AstrBot adds knowledge bases and persona settings behind one bot across several messaging platforms.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Can I run AstrBot in Docker?

Yes, and this template is AstrBot Docker hosting without the setup: soulter/astrbot v4.28.2 pinned by digest, one container, the astrbot_data volume at /AstrBot/data and an HTTPS route to the dashboard on port 6185. Upstream publishes a Docker guide in its docs.

Which messaging platforms does AstrBot support?

Upstream lists QQ, WeChat Work, Feishu, DingTalk, WeChat Official Accounts, Telegram, Slack and more. The template does not create platform accounts or tokens, and connectors that need reverse-WebSocket ports such as 6199 must run on the same Docker network.

Does AstrBot include an LLM?

No. Add an LLM provider in the dashboard after signing in, and the provider bills its own usage. Upstream also lists integrations with Dify, Alibaba Cloud Bailian, Coze and other agent platforms, none preconfigured here.

What is the default AstrBot dashboard login?

The username is astrbot, and the password is the generated one on the credentials page, with a fixed Ax1 prefix to satisfy AstrBot's complexity rule. AstrBot may ask you to change it on first login. Do not look for it in the container logs.

How do I reset the AstrBot dashboard password?

The initial password applies only on the first start against an empty config. To reset it, set ASTRBOT_RESET_DASHBOARD_PASSWORD=1 in the Environment editor, save and redeploy, then remove the flag. Editing the initial-password value alone changes nothing.

How much RAM does AstrBot need?

The template minimum is 1 GB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 5 GB of disk, and dashboard uploads are accepted up to 128 MB. Plugins, knowledge bases and many concurrent chats need more. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung.

Is AstrBot free?

Yes. AstrBot is released under the GNU AGPL v3, so the software is free to run. If you run it as a network service you must offer the corresponding source to the users who interact with it. Your cost is the dedicated Cloud VPS.

How do I back up AstrBot?

Stop the container, then back up the whole astrbot_data volume. It holds cmd_config.json with the dashboard credentials and JWT secret, plugins, knowledge bases and runtime files, so treat backups as secret-bearing. No copy is made automatically, so schedule your own and test restoring it.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade AstrBot?

Nothing upgrades itself: v4.28.2 is pinned by digest, and catalog updates apply to new installs only. Back up the data volume, read the upstream release notes, then adopt a newer xCloud template version when one is published, keeping the volume.

Is this an AstrBot cloud service?

It is AstrBot on a dedicated Cloud VPS under your xCloud login, an AstrBot cloud of your own at your domain. Set callback_api_base to the site's HTTPS URL so messaging platforms can reach your webhooks.

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.
