Cassandra Reaper Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Cassandra Reaper hosting and give your team one dashboard for scheduling and monitoring repairs on the Apache Cassandra clusters you already run. xCloud runs the pinned Cassandra Reaper 5.0.1 image as a single container, generates the admin password and JWT signing secret, mounts a persistent volume for its embedded SQLite state and publishes the web UI and REST API over HTTPS in minutes — with sign-in required from the first request.

What is Cassandra Reaper?

Cassandra Reaper is a centralized, stateful and highly configurable tool for running Apache Cassandra repairs against single or multi-site clusters. It runs repairs in segments, opportunistically running several in parallel on different nodes of the cluster, and supports basic repair scheduling.

Reaper comes with a web interface and a REST API, and talks to the nodes of registered clusters over JMX. This template deploys version 5.0.1 and manages clusters you already run; it does not include a Cassandra node.

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

A self-run Reaper normally means a Java service, an authentication setup, a place to keep its state, a domain and a certificate before the first cluster is registered. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Cassandra Reaper from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Cassandra Reaper image as a single container, pinned by immutable digest, mount the reaper_data volume for its embedded SQLite database, generate the admin password and JWT secret, and publish the web UI and REST API over HTTPS on your domain. The unauthenticated admin port 8081 is not published.
Step 03
Register Your Cluster
Save the generated admin password from the installation credentials, open your HTTPS address at /webui/ (allow about a minute for first boot) and sign in as admin. Then use Add Cluster with the address of one of your Cassandra nodes.

Everything Cassandra Reaper Does, On Your Own Server

Cassandra Reaper runs in full here: a repair scheduler and dashboard for the clusters you already run, behind a login on your own domain.

Repair Scheduling
Create repair schedules from the web UI, with a start time and an interval in days, instead of managing crontabs and nodetool commands by hand.
Segmented, Coordinated Repairs
Reaper splits a repair run into segments and runs them against one replica at a time, postponing a segment when a repair is already running there or compactions are pending.
Web UI And REST API
Manage clusters, repairs and schedules in the dashboard, or drive the same operations through the REST API for automation.
Login From The First Request
There is no sign-up and no default password: the dashboard and the REST API both require the generated admin login.
Cluster Health View
Registered clusters appear in the dashboard, and clicking a node opens a dialog with the node's state.
State Kept In SQLite
Registered clusters, repair schedules and run history live in an embedded SQLite database on the reaper_data volume, so there is no extra database to run.

What You Can Do With Cassandra Reaper

Keep a cluster's repairs on a schedule
Set a start time and an interval in days for the tables that matter, and leave repairs to run from one dashboard rather than from scattered cron entries.
Run repairs without overlapping load
Reaper postpones a segment when a repair is already running on one of its replicas, so repair work is coordinated across the cluster instead of colliding.
Watch several clusters from one place
Register each cluster by the address of one of its nodes and see the registered clusters, their nodes and their repair schedules in a single login-protected dashboard.
Automate repair management through the API
Create clusters, runs and schedules through the REST API with a JWT token, for teams that already script their operations.

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?

Use the username admin and the generated password from the installation credentials, at the /webui/ address of your domain. Authentication is on from the first request, there is no sign-up and there is no default password.

Does it include Cassandra?

No. Reaper manages Apache Cassandra clusters you already run; no Cassandra node is included in this template.

What does Cassandra Reaper need to reach my cluster?

The server must be able to reach your nodes on JMX (port 7199) and CQL (port 9042). If your nodes require JMX authentication, set the JMX username and password on the REAPER_JMX_AUTH_* lines in the Environment editor and redeploy.

Where does Cassandra Reaper store its data?

In this template Reaper keeps its state in an embedded SQLite database on the reaper_data volume, so there is no extra database to run. Upstream replaced its earlier EclipseStore backend with SQLite in v4.2.0.

Why does the dashboard take a minute to appear after install?

Reaper is a Java service and takes about a minute to come up on first boot. Reload the /webui/ page if it is not ready yet.

How do I change the admin password?

Edit it in the Environment editor and redeploy. The login and the JWT secret are applied from that file on every start, and changes made elsewhere are not stored. Rotating the JWT secret signs everyone out.

Edit environment variables and redeploy

Is the admin port published?

No. Reaper's unauthenticated admin connector on port 8081 is intentionally not published; only the web UI and REST API on port 8080 are, through xCloud-managed HTTPS. Unauthenticated, wrong-password and bad-token API calls were verified to return 401.

What should I back up?

The reaper_data volume (clusters, schedules and run history) and the generated JWT_SECRET. Keep the admin password private: Reaper stores JMX credentials for your clusters and can start repairs on them.

Backups in xCloud

What survives a restart?

Data on the reaper_data volume. In QA, a cluster and a repair schedule were created, an xCloud Restart was performed and they were deleted afterwards; a repair run was not executed to completion.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Cassandra Reaper?

No. The template pins Cassandra Reaper 5.0.1 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, 1536 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 224 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Cassandra Reaper?

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