Checkrr Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Checkrr hosting and find corrupt media before you press play. xCloud runs the pinned Checkrr 3.6.1 image behind a Caddy gateway that enforces a username and a generated password on every route, mounts persistent volumes for its config, scan history and media folder, and publishes the dashboard over HTTPS in minutes — Checkrr only reports problems and never deletes your files itself.

What is Checkrr?

Checkrr scans your library files for corrupt media. It runs checks on the path you configure — ffprobe, a magic-number check, a mimetype check and, on later runs, a file hash — so a library that has been moved between servers and filesystems can be checked for files that no longer play.

Files that pass have their hash recorded, which makes later runs much faster on large libraries. Files that fail are listed in the dashboard and in a bad-file CSV, and Checkrr can optionally ask Sonarr, Radarr or Lidarr to re-acquire them.

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

A Checkrr setup normally means a container, a config file, a media volume, a login in front of an app that has none, a domain and a certificate before the first scan. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Checkrr from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, and set the admin username (it defaults to admin); a strong password is generated for you.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the community Checkrr image, pinned by immutable digest, behind a Caddy gateway that enforces HTTP Basic Authentication, mount the checkrr_data and checkrr_media volumes, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Add Media And Scan
Open your HTTPS Checkrr URL and sign in with the username and password from the installation credentials. The media volume starts empty, so copy your library into /media over SSH, then start a scan from the dashboard or wait for the daily schedule.

Everything Checkrr Does, On Your Own Server

Checkrr runs in full here: a media library scanner with a web dashboard on your own domain, with its config and scan history kept on persistent storage.

Corrupt File Detection
Scans a media library with ffprobe, and optionally ffmpeg, and reports corrupt or unrecognised video and audio files.
A Web Dashboard
Shows scan progress, statistics and the list of bad files, so you can see what a scan found without reading logs.
Optional Re-Acquire Requests
Can ask Sonarr, Radarr or Lidarr to fetch a replacement for a bad file. It is off by default and the apps must be configured and reachable by address and port.
Daily Scheduled Scans
Scans /media once a day, at midnight UTC by default, and you can set the time zone the schedule uses.
A Login In Front Of Everything
Checkrr has no login of its own, so a gateway enforces HTTP Basic Authentication on every route; requests without credentials or with a wrong password get a 401.
Config And History That Persist
The config file, scan database and bad-file CSV live on the checkrr_data volume, and your library on checkrr_media, so both survive an xCloud Restart.

What You Can Do With Checkrr

Catch broken files before movie night
Run a scan across your library and see which video and audio files are corrupt or unrecognised, instead of finding out when playback stops.
Audit a library after a migration
After moving a collection between disks, servers or filesystems, scan it to find the files that did not survive the move.
Keep Sonarr, Radarr and Lidarr libraries healthy
Enable re-acquire so a bad file can be requested again through the apps you already run, with every connection off until you configure it.
Check on scans from a browser
Watch scan progress, statistics and the bad-file list from the dashboard on your own domain, with a daily schedule running in the background.

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 and generated password on the installation credentials card. A gateway in front of Checkrr applies them with HTTP Basic Authentication on every route, because Checkrr has no login of its own.

Does Checkrr delete my files?

No. Checkrr only reports problems. Removal happens only if you configure and enable a Sonarr, Radarr or Lidarr re-acquire, which is off by default.

How do I add my media?

The media volume starts empty and Checkrr cannot upload files. Copy your library into /media over SSH with docker cp, then start a scan from the dashboard or wait for the daily schedule.

Are Sonarr, Radarr or Lidarr included?

No. They are separate apps. Checkrr must be able to reach them by address and port, and their path mappings must point to /media.

How do I change Checkrr's settings?

Checkrr reads no environment variables, apart from TZ for the schedule's time zone. Sonarr, Radarr and Lidarr connections, notifications and the schedule live in /data/checkrr.yaml, which you edit in the container and then restart.

How do I change the username or password?

Rotate them in the Environment editor and restart. The gateway applies them on every start.

What should I back up?

The checkrr_data volume (config and scan history) and the checkrr_media volume (the library you copied in).

Backups in xCloud

What survives a restart?

The config, scan history and media volume are persistent named volumes, so they survive an xCloud Restart.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Checkrr?

No. The template pins Checkrr 3.6.1 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, 256 MB of RAM and 2 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 17 MiB for the whole stack. Scanning a large library will use more. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with plenty of headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Checkrr?

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