BookLogr Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

BookLogr hosting keeps your reading, notes and ratings in a private library on your own domain. Deploy BookLogr 1.12.0 as a self-hosted book tracker: xCloud runs the pinned web and API images, creates your account from the email you enter at install with a generated password, keeps the database, profile picture and exports on three persistent volumes, and publishes it over HTTPS with public sign-up switched off.

What is BookLogr?

Self-hosted BookLogr is a book tracker. Its README calls it a simple, self-hosted service to keep track of your personal library: look up books by title or ISBN through Open Library, add them to reading lists, track your current page, rate from half a star to five, keep notes and quotes, share an optional public profile and export to CSV, JSON or HTML. It can stand in for a hosted site such as Goodreads when you want the data on your own server, under the Apache-2.0 licence.

On xCloud the template runs the official mozzo/booklogr API and mozzo/booklogr-web v1.12.0 images, each pinned by immutable digest, with three volumes for the database, profile pictures and exports. HTTPS is published on your domain, your account is created at install, and public registration is disabled until you enable it. The README warns the project is under active development, with bugs and breaking changes possible.

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

Self-hosting BookLogr normally means a container, a database, a domain and a certificate before a single book is logged. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick BookLogr from the OneClick catalog, choose a domain, and enter the account email you'll sign in with.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up BookLogr v1.12.0 pinned by immutable digest, mount the database, profile-picture and export volumes, generate your password, and publish it over HTTPS with public registration disabled.
Step 03
Sign In And Add Your First Book
Open your HTTPS URL, sign in with the generated credentials, change your password in Settings, then search for a book and add it to a list.

Everything BookLogr Does, On Your Own Server

BookLogr runs in full here — book lookup, reading lists, ratings, notes and an optional public profile, on infrastructure you control.

Look Up Or Add By Hand
Find books by title or ISBN through Open Library metadata, or add any book by hand when it isn't listed.
Organize Into Reading Lists
Sort books into the Reading, Already Read, To Be Read and Did not finish lists, and track your current page.
Rate, Note And Quote
Rate books on a 0.5–5 star scale, take notes and save your favourite quotes against each title.
Optional Public Profile
Share a public profile of your library with friends and family when you choose to — profiles start hidden.
Export Anytime
Export your whole library as CSV, JSON or HTML whenever you want a copy outside the app.
Your Library, Your Server
Database, profile picture and export files each persist on their own volume, all surviving a restart.

What You Can Do With BookLogr

Log what you are reading
Add a book by title or ISBN, put it on the Reading list and update your current page as you go, instead of keeping a note in your phone.
Keep ratings, notes and quotes together
Rate finished books from half a star to five, take short notes and save quotes against each title, all stored in a database on your own Cloud VPS.
Share a library with friends and family
Switch your profile from hidden to public and send the link, so people can see your library without an account on a third-party site.
Take your data with you
Export the whole library as CSV, JSON or HTML whenever you want a copy outside the app, for another tool or a plain backup of your reading history.

BookLogr vs Alternatives

Goodreads: Goodreads is a hosted book-tracking site. BookLogr is a self-hosted service where, per its README, you keep complete control over your data, with exports to CSV, JSON and HTML.
BiblioReads: BiblioReads is a Goodreads front-end with its own xCloud template. BookLogr keeps your own library, lists and ratings on your server.
BookLore: BookLore is a self-hosted ebook library with its own xCloud template for files you own. BookLogr tracks what you read, own or want to read, without storing the books themselves.
Kavita: Kavita is a reading server with its own xCloud template that serves comics and books you own. BookLogr is a log of your reading, not a reader.

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 much RAM does BookLogr need?

The manifest floor for the API and web containers is one core, 512 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk. The 6 GB plan on offer here sits well above that floor, leaving room for a growing library, profile pictures and exports.

Is BookLogr free and open source?

Yes. BookLogr is licensed under Apache-2.0, per the LICENSE file at the v1.12.0 tag, and the application carries no fee. xCloud charges only for the Cloud VPS underneath, and your library, ratings and exports stay in your own volumes.

Can you run BookLogr with Docker?

Yes, and this is BookLogr Docker hosting prepared for you: the template runs the official mozzo/booklogr and mozzo/booklogr-web v1.12.0 images, both pinned by immutable digest, with three persistent volumes and HTTPS in front on your domain, so you write no compose file.

Where does BookLogr get book information?

From Open Library, per its README: you look books up by title or ISBN. When a book is not listed there you can add it by hand, so your library is never limited to what Open Library knows. Lookups need outbound internet access from the server.

Can other people sign up on my BookLogr server?

Not by default. Public registration is disabled and the API rejects sign-ups until you set AUTH_ALLOW_REGISTRATION=True and BL_ALLOW_REGISTRATION=true in the Environment editor and redeploy. Your own account is created at install from the email you enter and a generated password.

Can I share my BookLogr library publicly?

Yes. The README describes a public profile of your library that you can share with others. Profiles start hidden, so set yours to public from inside BookLogr and anyone with the link can view it. Switch it back to hidden whenever you want it private again.

Can I export my BookLogr library?

Yes. Export your data as CSV, JSON or HTML whenever you like, per the README. Exports are written to their own volume, so they survive restarts, and they give you a copy outside the app that works for a move to another tool.

Which databases does BookLogr support?

The README says SQLite by default or PostgreSQL. This template uses the default, with the database file on its own persistent volume, so there is no separate database container to run. Switching to PostgreSQL is not offered by the template.

What should I back up on a BookLogr server?

A backup needs all three declared volumes together, the database, profile pictures and exports, plus the generated AUTH_SECRET_KEY value. Changing that key signs everyone out, so keep it with the backup rather than rotating it casually, and test a restore.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade BookLogr?

Nothing upgrades it for you: the template pins v1.12.0 by immutable digest. The README warns that the project is in active development and may have breaking changes, so read the upstream changelog, back up all three volumes, then adopt a newer template version when xCloud publishes one.

Is this BookLogr cloud hosting?

It is your own BookLogr on a dedicated Cloud VPS provisioned by xCloud, not a hosted book site. The two containers, the three volumes and your account belong to your install, and the app is served over HTTPS on your domain.

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.
