Cal.diy Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Cal.diy hosting and run the Cal.com community edition as self-hosted booking pages on a dedicated Cloud VPS. xCloud starts the pinned Cal.diy 6.2.0 image with a private PostgreSQL 16 database, generates the secrets and encryption key, switches public sign-up off and serves it over HTTPS on your domain. Upstream recommends it for personal, non-production use, so weigh that first before you rely on it for a business.

What is Cal.diy?

Cal.diy is the open-source community edition of Cal.com, a scheduling platform you can self-host. It offers public booking pages, availability from connected calendars, team and round-robin events and webhooks, and upstream describes Cal.com as the open-source Calendly successor. Run on your own server it is a self-hosted Cal.diy, an alternative to a hosted booking tool such as Calendly, under the AGPL-3.0. Upstream recommends this edition for personal, non-production use.

On xCloud it is deployed as two containers pinned by digest: an xCloud rebuild of the Cal.diy 6.2.0 source and a private PostgreSQL 16 database. The calcom_postgres volume holds everything, including avatars and encrypted calendar credentials. No email, scheduler or calendar integration is preconfigured, so you add the ones you need.

From Sign-Up to a Live Cal.diy In Just 3 Easy Steps

A Cal.diy install normally means a Next.js container, PostgreSQL, several secrets, an encryption key, a setup wizard, a domain and a certificate before the first booking page. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Cal.diy from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and a server; the install form has no application fields, because xCloud generates the database credentials, secrets and encryption key.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start the xCloud-built Cal.diy 6.2.0 image and postgres 16, both pinned by digest, mount calcom_postgres, generate the NextAuth secret, encryption key and cron tokens, turn public sign-up off and publish HTTPS. Migrations take a few minutes.
Step 03
Finish The Setup Wizard Straight Away
Open the site and complete the setup wizard at once: whoever submits it first becomes the administrator. Choose the AGPLv3 licence option, then add users from the admin area and create your first event type.

Everything Cal.diy Does, On Your Own Server

Cal.diy 6.2.0 runs here as a private scheduling server, with everything it stores kept in a PostgreSQL volume you own.

Booking Pages
Publish public booking pages and event types, so people pick a time from your availability instead of trading emails.
Availability From Calendars
Cal.diy reads availability from connected calendars. Google Calendar, Outlook and others need OAuth credentials you create with each provider.
Team And Round-Robin Events
Define team events and round-robin assignment, as upstream lists, so bookings rotate between the people you add.
Webhooks
Cal.diy supports webhooks. Queued deliveries need a scheduler calling its job endpoints, and this template does not run one.
Sign-Up Closed By Default
Public sign-up is turned off. You add people from the admin area, or set NEXT_PUBLIC_DISABLE_SIGNUP to false to open registration.
Telemetry Off
The template sets CALCOM_TELEMETRY_DISABLED, and the Enterprise Edition directories in the image stay inactive without a licence key.

Rotate meetings across a small team
Use team and round-robin events so incoming bookings are shared between the people you add as users.
Replace a Calendly subscription for personal use
Move your own scheduling to a server you host, remembering that upstream advises personal, non-production use of this edition.
Trigger your own workflows with webhooks
Send booking events to your tools through webhooks, after adding a scheduler to run the queued tasks.

Cal.diy vs Alternatives

Calendly: A hosted scheduling product run by its vendor; Cal.diy is AGPL-3.0 software you run yourself, with bookings and encrypted calendar credentials in PostgreSQL on your own server.
Cal.com: The vendor's hosted and commercial product, from which Cal.diy is the community edition; for commercial or enterprise use upstream points to Cal.com itself.
Rallly: A scheduling poll tool, available as its own OneClick app; it finds a time that suits a group, where Cal.diy publishes your own availability.
Easy!Appointments: Appointment scheduling for services, providers and customers with a public booking page, also a OneClick app; compare its provider model with Cal.diy's event types.

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.

Is Cal.diy the same as Cal.com?

No. Cal.diy is the open-source community edition of Cal.com, intended for people who want to self-host their own instance. Cal.com is the vendor's hosted and commercial product, and upstream points commercial or enterprise users to it. This page hosts Cal.diy only.

Can I self-host Cal.diy with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Cal.diy Docker hosting without the compose file: an xCloud-built image of the 6.2.0 source and postgres 16, both pinned by digest, with the calcom_postgres volume and an HTTPS route to port 3000. Upstream also documents Docker self-hosting.

Is Cal.diy suitable for production?

Upstream says use at your own risk and that Cal.diy is strictly recommended for personal, non-production use, and points commercial or enterprise users to Cal.com. Weigh that before relying on it for a business, and keep your own backups.

How much RAM does Cal.diy need?

The template baseline is 1 GB of RAM, 2 CPU cores and 10 GB of disk. Next.js, the first-start migration and the app-store seed step all need memory, so more helps with concurrent users. This page sells the 6 GB tier.

Does Cal.diy send booking emails?

Not by default. Outgoing email is off until you add EMAIL_SERVER_HOST, EMAIL_SERVER_PORT, EMAIL_SERVER_USER, EMAIL_SERVER_PASSWORD and EMAIL_FROM in the Environment editor and redeploy. Until then booking confirmations and reminders are not sent to anyone, so test a booking end to end first.

How do I connect Google Calendar to Cal.diy?

Create OAuth credentials with the provider, then set them as environment variables following upstream's per-integration instructions and redeploy. No integration credentials are part of this template, so calendars stay unconnected until you add your own.

Do reminders and webhooks run automatically?

No scheduler ships with the template. Cal.diy relies on an external scheduler calling its job endpoints, so without one booking pages work but timed reminders and queued webhook or workflow tasks do not run. The tokens are in the Environment editor.

Is Cal.diy free?

The release is AGPL-3.0, except upstream's Enterprise Edition directories, which are under Cal.com's commercial licence and need a subscription in production. No key is set here, so those features stay inactive. Your plan pays for the dedicated Cloud VPS.

How do I back up Cal.diy?

Back up the calcom_postgres volume together with NEXTAUTH_SECRET, CALENDSO_ENCRYPTION_KEY and the database password. Without the matching encryption key a restored database cannot decrypt stored calendar credentials. Nothing is scheduled by default, so turn on scheduled backups and rehearse a restore.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Cal.diy?

Nothing upgrades itself: your install stays on Cal.diy 6.2.0 and PostgreSQL 16, both pinned by digest, until you adopt a newer template version. Before you do, back up the calcom_postgres volume with NEXTAUTH_SECRET and the encryption key, and read the upstream release notes. Keep the encryption key unchanged for the life of the installation.

Is this a Cal.diy cloud service?

It is Cal.diy on a dedicated Cloud VPS under your xCloud login, a Cal.diy cloud of your own at your domain, not the vendor's hosted Cal.com. The first person to finish the setup wizard becomes administrator, so complete it straight after install.

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.
