What is ChirpStack?

ChirpStack is an open-source LoRaWAN network server that can be used to set up LoRaWAN networks. It provides a web interface for managing gateways, devices and tenants, data integrations with the major cloud providers, databases and services commonly used for handling device data, and a gRPC based API for integrating or extending it.

It is released under the MIT licence. This template deploys version 4.19.2 together with PostgreSQL, Redis and an Eclipse Mosquitto MQTT broker, so a working instance is ready without assembling the stack yourself.

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

A ChirpStack stack normally means a network server, a database, a cache, an MQTT broker, credentials, a domain and a certificate before the first gateway connects. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick ChirpStack from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, and optionally set the administrator password — leave it empty and xCloud generates one.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official ChirpStack image with private PostgreSQL 16 and Redis 7 containers that have no host ports, plus Eclipse Mosquitto 2.0 for gateway traffic, mount the postgres_data, redis_data and mosquitto_data volumes, generate the passwords, and publish the web interface over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Add Your First Gateway

    Open your HTTPS ChirpStack URL and sign in as admin (the first start creates the database and can take a minute or two). Add a gateway under Gateways, create an application, device profile and devices, then point the gateway at the MQTT host and port from your credentials, with the chirpstack username and MQTT password.

Everything ChirpStack Does, On Your Own Server

ChirpStack runs in full here: a LoRaWAN network server with its web interface, database, cache and MQTT broker on your own domain.

  • Gateways, Devices And Tenants

    Manage LoRaWAN gateways, devices and tenants from one web interface, and group devices into applications.

  • Data Integrations And API

    Upstream provides data integrations with major cloud providers, databases and services commonly used for handling device data, and a gRPC based API to integrate or extend ChirpStack.

  • Built-In MQTT Broker

    Eclipse Mosquitto ships in the same install and refuses anonymous clients; gateways connect with the chirpstack username and a generated password.

  • Seven Regions Enabled

    The template enables EU868, US915 (channels 0–7), AU915 (channels 0–7), AS923, IN865, KR920 and RU864; a gateway selects its region through its MQTT topic prefix.

  • Private PostgreSQL And Redis

    Both run on the install's internal network with no host ports, and their data lives on persistent named volumes.

  • HTTPS On Your Domain

    The web interface and API are published through xCloud-managed HTTPS, and the upstream default admin/admin login is replaced by a password set or generated at install.

Everything You Need To Run Your LoRaWAN Network Server 24/7

Managed hosting for ChirpStack, so the parts that keep it online are not your problem.

  • ChirpStack 4.19.2 deployed instantly
  • Official image pinned by digest
  • Admin and MQTT passwords generated
  • Kept behind xCloud nginx
  • Free SSL certificate
  • Server backups and snapshots
  • Server security updates included
  • 30+ server locations

What You Can Do With ChirpStack

  • A private IoT sensor network

    Run your own LoRaWAN network for sensors you own, with gateways, devices and applications managed from one place instead of a shared service.

  • Pilot deployments

    Stand up a network server for a proof of concept, onboard a few gateways and devices, and keep the data on a server you control.

  • LoRaWAN testing

    Try gateways, device profiles and regions against a real network server, with a separate tenant for each team or customer.

  • Gateway and device data over MQTT

    Receive gateway and device data from a broker that refuses anonymous clients, and forward it onward through ChirpStack's integrations.

ChirpStack vs Alternatives

The Things Stack
A LoRaWAN network server that is also offered as a hosted service. With ChirpStack you run the network server yourself, on your own domain, and the tenants, gateways and devices stay on your server.
A hosted LoRaWAN network service
Connect gateways to someone else's network server and you depend on their account limits and availability. ChirpStack on xCloud gives you the server and its database to administer.
Eclipse Mosquitto on its own
A plain MQTT broker with no LoRaWAN logic. This install includes one for gateway traffic, with ChirpStack on top to manage gateways, devices and applications.
ThingsBoard Community Edition
An IoT platform for device management and dashboards rather than a LoRaWAN network server; the two are often used together, and it is available as a OneClick app on xCloud.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

How do I sign in for the first time?

Open your HTTPS ChirpStack URL and sign in as admin with the password you set at install, or the generated one from the protected installation credentials. The first start creates the database and can take a minute or two. The upstream default admin/admin is rejected.

Does ChirpStack work with Semtech UDP packet forwarders?

Not directly. The template exposes MQTT, not UDP. Run the ChirpStack Gateway Bridge or MQTT Forwarder next to the gateway and point it at this broker.

Which regions are supported?

The template enables EU868, US915 (channels 0–7), AU915 (channels 0–7), AS923, IN865, KR920 and RU864. A gateway selects its region through the MQTT topic prefix it publishes under.

What runs alongside ChirpStack?

PostgreSQL, Redis and Eclipse Mosquitto, in the same install. You do not need to add them. PostgreSQL and Redis have no host ports.

How do gateways connect to the MQTT broker?

The broker is published as a raw TCP host port. Use the MQTT host and port from the installation credentials with the chirpstack username and the generated MQTT password. Anonymous and wrong-password publishes are refused.

Is the MQTT port encrypted?

No. It is plaintext TCP and open to the internet, so restrict it to your gateway addresses with your firewall where you can, and treat the MQTT password like an API key.

How do I change the passwords?

Change the admin password in the web interface under Users; the install-time value is applied only once. The MQTT password is applied on every start, so after changing it, update every gateway to the new password.

What should I back up?

The postgres_data volume, which holds users, gateways, devices, applications and device data, so it keeps your network configuration and device keys. Also keep the generated values in the credentials panel: the admin password, the MQTT password and the stable settings in the environment. redis_data holds device sessions and frame state, and mosquitto_data holds broker persistence.

What survives a restart?

Tenants, gateways, devices and applications. After restarting all containers on QA, the login worked and the test application was still listed.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update ChirpStack?

No. The template pins ChirpStack 4.19.2 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release and existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up the database volume 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, 1024 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 160 MB across all four containers. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with ChirpStack?

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