ClipCascade Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy ClipCascade hosting and run a self-hosted clipboard sync server that shares text, images and files between your desktop and Android devices, with end-to-end encryption chosen in the client. xCloud starts the pinned community image with an encrypted database, replaces upstream's default admin login with a generated password before the container reports healthy, and publishes the server over HTTPS. Sign-up stays off.

What is ClipCascade?

ClipCascade is a lightweight, open-source utility that automatically syncs your clipboard across multiple devices, released under GPL-3.0. Upstream lists real-time sync, end-to-end encryption, clients for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, text, image and file support, server-based and peer-to-peer sync, multi-user support and a web dashboard. Self-hosted ClipCascade is the option for people who would otherwise sync clipboards through a hosted service such as Pushbullet or upstream's free community server.

On xCloud the template runs the sathvikrao/clipcascade 0.7.0 server, which goes with ClipCascade 3.2.0, pinned by digest, as one container with an encrypted H2 database and two volumes. Upstream seeds an admin login with a published password, and the template's start script replaces it on every start. There is one administrator, and sign-up is off by default. Peer-to-peer mode was not tested.

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

A ClipCascade server normally means a container, a changed default password, persistent volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first copy and paste. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick ClipCascade from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in, because xCloud generates the credentials.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the single ClipCascade container from the community image pinned by immutable digest, replace the upstream default admin password with a generated one before the app reports healthy, mount the clipcascade_database and clipcascade_logs volumes, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Connect Your Devices
Save the admin password shown in the protected installation credentials, open your HTTPS ClipCascade URL and sign in as admin. Then enter the server URL, username and password in the desktop or Android app and choose an end-to-end encryption passphrase — the same one on every device.

Everything ClipCascade Does, On Your Own Server

ClipCascade runs in full here: a sync server your Windows, macOS, Linux and Android clients connect to, with the data on volumes you own.

Instant Clipboard Sync
Copy on one device and paste on another: clipboard content updates across all connected devices in real time.
End-To-End Encryption
Clients encrypt clipboard content with a passphrase that only they know, so the server never sees it.
Desktop And Android Clients
Upstream publishes apps for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, so one server covers the devices you actually use.
Text, Images And Files
Upstream syncs text, images and files across its clients, with a configurable maximum message size.
Web Dashboard
A browser interface on your HTTPS domain to track clipboard activity and manage settings.
Sign-Up Off By Default
Self-registration is disabled, so the generated admin account is the only login until you choose to enable sign-up.

What You Can Do With ClipCascade

Move text between laptop and phone
Copy a link or a code on the laptop and paste it on the phone seconds later, through a server you host instead of messaging yourself.
Share files through the clipboard
Send images and small files between devices, within the message size limit, and track clipboard activity in the web dashboard.
Keep clipboard data out of third-party hands
Choose an end-to-end encryption passphrase in the clients and host the server yourself, so the relay holds only protected content.
Give a household one sync server
Run one instance for the household. Upstream keeps each user's clipboard data separate, and you can enable sign-up and cap the number of accounts when others join.

ClipCascade vs Alternatives

Pushbullet: If you push text and links between devices through Pushbullet, ClipCascade is the self-hosted route: the server runs on your own Cloud VPS and you decide who has an account.
Apple Universal Clipboard: If you share a clipboard through Apple's Universal Clipboard today, ClipCascade lists Windows, macOS, Linux and Android clients, so it can link a mixed set of devices through your own server.
KDE Connect: KDE Connect has no OneClick page here. ClipCascade is a dedicated clipboard server reached over HTTPS on your own domain, so your devices connect to it from wherever they are.
The upstream community server: Upstream offers a free community server at its own domain. A hosted copy on xCloud gives you the same clients with your own domain, database and account list.

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.

What is ClipCascade used for?

ClipCascade is used to share your clipboard between devices automatically. Copy text, an image or a file on your desktop and it appears on your Android phone, and the other way round, without emailing yourself. Your devices connect to the server you host, and the content can be end-to-end encrypted.

Is ClipCascade free and open source?

Yes. ClipCascade is open source under GPL-3.0, so the server has no licence fee. Upstream also runs a free community server, but this template is your own copy. What xCloud charges for is the Cloud VPS under it, plus the deployment, and the client apps are separate downloads from upstream.

Can you self-host ClipCascade with Docker?

Yes. For ClipCascade Docker hosting the template runs the sathvikrao/clipcascade 0.7.0 image, pinned by digest, in a single container with two named volumes, behind HTTPS on your domain. A wrapper script signs in with upstream's default login on every start and replaces its password with a generated one, so the default is never left reachable.

How much RAM does ClipCascade need?

The manifest floor is 512 MB of RAM, a single core and 2 GB of disk, since the server is a Java application. The 6 GB tier on this page is far more than it needs. The default limit for one clipboard message is 1 MiB, which you can raise with an environment setting.

Is ClipCascade end-to-end encrypted?

Upstream lists end-to-end encryption, and the clients ask for a passphrase that you must enter identically on every device. When a passphrase is set, clipboard contents are protected beyond the account password. Transport is HTTPS on your domain. The login page itself is visible to anyone who can reach the site.

Which devices does ClipCascade support?

Upstream lists desktop clients for Windows, macOS and Linux, plus an Android client, with a web dashboard for the account. In each app enter your server address, the username admin and the password from your credentials card. There is no iPhone client in upstream's list, so check before you plan around one.

How do I log in to ClipCascade?

Use the username admin and the generated password shown on your credentials card, in each client and on the web page. There is one administrator account and sign-up is off by default. Upstream cannot set the password from the environment, so change it in the web interface afterwards and then stop relying on the card.

How do I back up ClipCascade?

Back up the clipcascade_database volume, which holds the encrypted H2 database with users and settings, and optionally clipcascade_logs. The database keys are generated at install and joined into the encryption key, so they must stay unchanged. Keep copies off-server and test a restore before relying on it.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade ClipCascade?

Server 0.7.0 is fixed by digest, so a template change never alters a running site. Back up the database volume, read the upstream release notes, and select a later template version. Update the desktop and Android clients to a matching ClipCascade release afterwards, since each server release goes with a ClipCascade client release.

Can I allow other people to sign up?

You can, but the default is off. Set CC_SIGNUP_ENABLED to true in the Environment editor and redeploy to let visitors register, and optionally cap accounts with CC_MAX_USER_ACCOUNTS. For a private server, leave sign-up off. Do not put an HTTP login in front of the site, because the native apps cannot answer it.

Can I run ClipCascade in the cloud on xCloud?

Yes. ClipCascade cloud use gives it a dedicated Cloud VPS with your domain and certificate attached, so your devices reach it from anywhere. Another provider's server can be enrolled as self-managed, and the same template deploys there. Peer-to-peer mode needs a STUN server that clients reach themselves.

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.
