AuthPortal Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy AuthPortal hosting and give the people on your Plex, Jellyfin or Emby server one sign-in for your other self-hosted apps. xCloud runs the pinned AuthPortal v2.0.6 image with a private PostgreSQL 15 database, generates the database password and session secrets, keeps a persistent OIDC signing key and publishes the sign-in page and admin console over HTTPS on your domain.

What is AuthPortal?

AuthPortal is a lightweight, self-hosted authentication gateway for Plex, Jellyfin and Emby. It authenticates people directly against their media-server accounts and manages their sessions with HTTP-only cookies.

It also includes a first-party OAuth 2.1 / OpenID Connect provider, so other self-hosted apps can use the same media-server accounts. Upstream is licensed under GPL-3.0, and this template deploys version v2.0.6.

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

An AuthPortal stack normally means an app container, a database, a signing key, generated secrets, a domain and a certificate before the first login. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick AuthPortal from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain, then pick your media server (Plex, Jellyfin or Emby), enter its URL or the Plex machine identifier, an optional Jellyfin/Emby API key, and the administrator as username:email.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official AuthPortal v2.0.6 image, pinned by immutable digest, with a private PostgreSQL 15 database kept off the public internet and a small helper that writes a persistent OIDC signing key. The authportal_pgdata and authportal_keys volumes are mounted, the secrets are generated, and the first start takes about a minute.
Step 03
Sign In And Register Your Apps
Open your HTTPS AuthPortal URL and sign in with the administrator's media-server account — there is no separate AuthPortal password. Then open /admin to register OIDC clients and point each app at https://<your domain>/.well-known/openid-configuration.

Everything AuthPortal Does, On Your Own Server

AuthPortal runs in full here: a sign-in portal in front of your media-server accounts, backed by a database and signing key you own.

Media-Server Sign-In
People sign in with the Plex, Jellyfin or Emby account they already have, and AuthPortal keeps no passwords of its own.
OpenID Connect Provider
A first-party OAuth 2.1 / OIDC server with authorization code and PKCE, RS256-signed ID tokens, and discovery, JWKS, token and userinfo endpoints for your other apps.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Optional TOTP-based multi-factor authentication with recovery codes protects sign-ins.
Admin Console
Manage providers, security and MFA settings, OIDC clients, roles and permissions, backups and logs from the browser at /admin.
Optional LDAP Sync
Upstream can export authorized users to LDAP on demand or on an hourly, daily or weekly schedule, configured in the admin console.
Private PostgreSQL Included
PostgreSQL 15 holds users, settings and OIDC clients, reachable only inside the install's private network with no published port.

What You Can Do With AuthPortal

One sign-in across your self-hosted apps
Register each app as an OIDC client in /admin and point it at the discovery URL, so the media-server account people already use works everywhere.
Sign-in for a media-server community
Give friends and family who share your Plex, Jellyfin or Emby server a single portal address to sign in at.
Stronger sign-ins with MFA
Turn on optional TOTP-based multi-factor authentication with recovery codes for the accounts that reach your apps.
Directory sync for LDAP-based apps
Use the optional LDAP Sync tab to export authorized users to an LDAP directory for apps that expect one.

AuthPortal vs Alternatives

Authelia: Describes itself as a single sign-on multi-factor portal for web apps; AuthPortal is built specifically around Plex, Jellyfin and Emby accounts.
Keycloak: An open-source identity and access management server (Apache-2.0); AuthPortal instead signs people in with their existing media-server accounts.
authentik: Describes itself as “the authentication glue you need”; AuthPortal is built specifically around Plex, Jellyfin and Emby accounts.

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.

How do I sign in?

With the media-server account whose username you entered as the administrator at install. There is no separate AuthPortal password.

What runs alongside AuthPortal?

A private PostgreSQL 15 database and a small helper that writes a persistent OIDC signing key. Neither is exposed to the internet.

Do I need a media server first?

Yes. Plex, Jellyfin or Emby must already exist and be reachable from your xCloud server; sign-in fails until it is. Jellyfin and Emby need the server URL, and Plex needs its machine identifier.

How do I connect another app?

Open /admin, register the app as an OIDC client, and point it at https://<your domain>/.well-known/openid-configuration.

Can I change the media server later?

Yes, in the AuthPortal admin console. The media server and URL you enter at install only seed the first start, so editing them in the Environment editor has no effect.

Who can sign in?

Anyone with an enabled account on the media server, and media-server administrators become AuthPortal administrators. The template does not enable Basic Auth, so add it at your access layer if you want to limit who can reach the page.

What should I not change after install?

SESSION_SECRET, DATA_KEY and the OIDC signing key. They must stay the same for the life of the install, because DATA_KEY seals stored media-server tokens and the signing key signs issued OIDC tokens.

What should I back up?

Both volumes together, authportal_pgdata (users, settings and OIDC clients) and authportal_keys (the OIDC signing key), plus the stable environment values.

Backups in xCloud

What survives a restart?

Users, settings, OIDC clients and the signing key live on persistent named volumes and survived an xCloud Restart in QA; verified sessions stayed valid after restarting the app and database.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update AuthPortal?

No. The template pins AuthPortal v2.0.6 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release, existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then bump the readable tag and digest together on your own schedule. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.

What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 6 GB?

The template's baseline asks for 1 CPU core, 256 MB of RAM and 2 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 28 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with ample headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with AuthPortal?

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

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.
