Casdoor Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Casdoor hosting and run a self-hosted identity provider for single sign-on on a dedicated Cloud VPS. xCloud starts the pinned Casdoor 3.154.3 image with a private PostgreSQL database, replaces the upstream default administrator password with a generated one before the gateway serves anyone, and serves the console and identity endpoints over HTTPS on your own domain, ready for your first connected application.

What is Casdoor?

Casdoor is an open-source identity and access management platform and authentication server with a web UI. It supports OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, CAS, LDAP, SCIM, WebAuthn, TOTP and MFA, and manages users, organizations, applications and providers from one console, with authorization policies available through Casbin. Run on your own server it is a self-hosted Casdoor, an alternative to a hosted identity service such as Okta, released under the Apache-2.0 licence.

On xCloud it is deployed as Casdoor 3.154.3 behind a pinned nginx gateway with a private PostgreSQL 15.14 database, all pinned by digest. A bootstrap guard replaces the upstream default administrator password before the gateway serves publicly. The casdoor_db volume holds everything, including signing material, so it is the volume to protect and back up with care.

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

A Casdoor install normally means the server, PostgreSQL, a default admin password to replace, a gateway, a domain and a certificate before the first application is connected. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Casdoor from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and a server; the install form has no application fields, because xCloud generates the administrator and database passwords.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start casbin/casdoor 3.154.3 with postgres 15.14, both pinned by digest, mount casdoor_db, run a bootstrap guard that replaces the upstream default administrator password, and publish HTTPS only after that succeeds.
Step 03
Sign In, Create A Named Admin, Connect An App
Sign in with organization built-in, user admin and the generated password. Create a named administrator, then configure the built-in application's exact redirect URIs and connect your first client.

Everything Casdoor Does, On Your Own Server

Casdoor 3.154.3 runs here as an identity provider, with users, applications and signing material kept in a PostgreSQL volume you own.

Single Sign-On Protocols
Casdoor supports OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, CAS, LDAP and SCIM, so applications can sign users in through standard protocols.
MFA And Passkeys
Upstream lists WebAuthn, TOTP and MFA. Configure only the methods you need, and disable unused sign-up and provider paths.
UI-First Console
Manage users, organizations, applications and providers from a web console rather than editing configuration files.
Casbin Authorization
Authorization policies can be expressed with Casbin, covering ACL, RBAC, ABAC and more, alongside authentication.
Default Password Replaced
The upstream default administrator credential is replaced by a bootstrap guard before the public gateway starts, with a generated password.
Private PostgreSQL
Organizations, users, password hashes, providers, certificates and signing material live in PostgreSQL with no published port.

What You Can Do With Casdoor

Give all your apps one login
Connect internal tools through OIDC, OAuth 2.0 or SAML so staff sign in once, with users managed in one self-hosted console.
Sync directories over LDAP or SCIM
Use LDAP and SCIM support to align Casdoor with an existing directory, after you configure the integration yourself.
Add multi-factor sign-in
Turn on TOTP or WebAuthn passkeys for administrators and users, rather than leaving every account on a password alone.
Host a customer-facing login
Run a branded sign-in for your own product's users on a server you control, once you have set exact redirect URIs and SMTP.

Casdoor vs Alternatives

Okta: A hosted identity service run by its vendor; Casdoor is Apache-2.0 software you run yourself, with users, password hashes and signing keys in PostgreSQL on your own xCloud server.
Keycloak: An open-source identity server, available as its own OneClick app; compare its console and setup with Casdoor's organizations and applications.
ZITADEL: Another open-source identity platform, also a OneClick app; compare it with Casdoor's UI-first console for users, organizations and providers.
Authelia: An authentication server often placed in front of a reverse proxy, available as a OneClick app; Casdoor is a dedicated auth server with broad protocol support and a console.

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.

Can I run Casdoor in Docker?

Yes, and this template is Casdoor Docker hosting without the compose file: casbin/casdoor 3.154.3, a bootstrap guard and PostgreSQL 15.14, all pinned by digest, behind a pinned nginx gateway with the casdoor_db volume. Upstream documents a quick start with Docker.

How much RAM does Casdoor need?

The template requires at least 2 GB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 10 GB of disk, and more for high login rates, large user directories, audit retention or LDAP and SCIM synchronisation. The smallest sold plan, 6 GB, clears that comfortably.

What is the default Casdoor admin login?

Sign in with organization built-in, username admin and the generated password from the credentials. The template replaces upstream's well-known default before the gateway serves publicly. Create a named administrator for routine work and rotate the password inside Casdoor.

Which protocols does Casdoor support?

Per upstream, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, CAS, LDAP, SCIM, WebAuthn, TOTP and MFA, plus provider integrations. Nothing is preconfigured, so set the built-in application's exact redirect URIs and origins, and disable unused sign-up and external-provider paths.

Is Casdoor an alternative to Okta or Keycloak?

Casdoor is described as a UI-first identity provider that you host yourself. This page makes no claim about compliance certifications or feature parity with any vendor, so check your protocol and audit needs before replacing a hosted service.

How do I add an application to Casdoor?

In the console, configure the built-in application or create one, set exact redirect URIs and web origins, certificates and providers, then use the displayed client details in your app. Use https on your domain as the issuer and origin.

Does Casdoor send email?

Not until you configure SMTP. Set up mail before you enable email verification or password recovery, otherwise users cannot receive codes or reset links. The template configures no outgoing mail server, so test a message before you rely on it.

Is Casdoor free?

Yes. Casdoor is released under the Apache-2.0 licence, so the software has no licence fee and cost comes down to the server plan you choose. Provider integrations you connect, such as social login apps, may have their own terms you should read.

How do I back up Casdoor?

Back up the casdoor_db volume with an application-consistent PostgreSQL backup such as pg_dump. It holds organizations, users, password hashes, applications, providers, certificates and signing material. Restore the database with its matching credentials. Making copies of this volume is your job, so create them and test one.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Casdoor?

Nothing upgrades itself: 3.154.3 and PostgreSQL 15.14 are pinned by digest. To move up, back up the casdoor_db volume, then adopt a newer template version when one is published; do not edit the image tag or digest yourself. Afterwards verify administrator login, OIDC discovery, token issuance and a client sign-in.

Is this a Casdoor cloud service?

It is Casdoor on a dedicated Cloud VPS under your xCloud login, a Casdoor cloud of your own at your domain. Keep the same public domain over time, because identity clients depend on the issuer and redirect URLs.

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.
