Aurral Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Discover new music and send artist and album requests to your Lidarr server. Aurral builds personalized recommendations, trends, tags and recent releases on top of Lidarr, lets you search and preview tracks before adding them with your own defaults, and runs scheduled playlist flows and imports from Spotify, Last.fm or ListenBrainz. xCloud configures the pinned Aurral 2.10.0 image, generates an admin password for setup, mounts the persistent config volume and publishes it over HTTPS.

From Sign-Up to Live Music Discovery In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting Aurral normally means a container, persistent storage, a domain and a certificate before it's even connected to Lidarr. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Aurral from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain — xCloud generates the admin password for you.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official ghcr.io/lklynet/aurral image pinned by immutable digest, mount the persistent config volume, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Finish The Setup Wizard
Save the admin username and generated password from your protected installation credentials, open your HTTPS Aurral URL, and create the admin account in the setup wizard. Enter your Lidarr URL and API key, finish setup, sign in and start discovering.

Everything Aurral Does, On Your Own Server

Aurral runs in full here — the same discovery and request tooling as any hosted companion, connected to the Lidarr server you already run.

Recommendations Built On Lidarr
Personalized recommendations, trends, tags and recent releases, all built on top of your existing Lidarr library.
Search, Preview, Request
Search artists and albums, preview tracks, and add them to Lidarr with your own defaults.
Scheduled Playlist Flows
Run scheduled playlist flows and imports from Spotify, Last.fm or ListenBrainz, each needing its own account.
Multi-User Access
Per-user profiles and permissions, with local login, reverse-proxy SSO or native OIDC.
Activity View
See an activity view of Lidarr requests and downloads from inside Aurral.
Survives A Restart
The settings database, user accounts, request history and downloaded playlist tracks live on the persistent config volume and 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.

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 Aurral?

Aurral is the self-hosted music discovery companion for Lidarr: it recommends artists and albums, sends requests to Lidarr and runs playlist flows. This template deploys version 2.10.0.

Is Aurral free?

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

Does Aurral replace Lidarr?

No. Aurral is a companion: it finds music and sends requests to Lidarr, which still manages and downloads the library. You need a running Lidarr server and its API key, reachable from this server.

How do I sign in the first time?

Open the site right after install and complete the setup wizard, using the admin username and generated password from your xCloud installation credentials. After that, Aurral asks for that login on every visit.

Can I play music in Aurral?

Aurral previews tracks; full playback happens in a separate player such as Navidrome or Plex that reads the same music.

Should I turn on Auto-login on local network?

No. Keep it off. Behind the reverse proxy every visitor counts as local, so enabling it would sign any visitor in as the admin.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The pinned Aurral image, a generated admin password for the setup wizard, the persistent config volume, the domain and the HTTPS route. The container port is bound to loopback only.

What should I back up?

The config volume, which holds the database, settings, users, request history and downloaded playlist tracks. Music managed by Lidarr stays on the Lidarr server and needs its own separate backup.

Backups in xCloud

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Aurral?

No. The template pins v2.10.0 by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review upstream release notes and take a complete backup before changing the pinned release.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 1 CPU core, 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of disk as a floor. Measured use in QA was about 315 MiB idle and 400 MiB after use. This page sells the 6 GB tier, comfortable headroom above that floor.

Can I change the admin password later?

Yes. The password is stored in Aurral's own database after setup; change it under Settings > Users inside the app.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Aurral?

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