ClipCascade Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy ClipCascade hosting and run your own clipboard sync server on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned ClipCascade server 0.7.0 image in a single container, replaces the upstream default password with a generated one, mounts persistent database and log volumes and publishes the web interface and client sync endpoint over HTTPS in minutes — your clipboard goes through a server you control, not a third party's.

What is ClipCascade?

ClipCascade is a lightweight, open-source utility that syncs your clipboard across multiple devices without manual input. It supports end-to-end encryption and runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android.

The server is the piece in the middle: your devices connect to it and it relays what you copy. Upstream offers a community server for people without one, or you can self-host the server from a Docker image, which is what this template deploys.

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 Your Computer And Phone
Copy a link, a code or a snippet on your desktop and paste it on your Android device, without emailing it to yourself.
Keep Your Clipboard Off A Third-Party Server
Point every client at your own HTTPS domain, so what you copy passes through a server you run rather than a public one.
Share A Clipboard Across Mixed Operating Systems
Connect Windows, macOS, Linux and Android clients to the same server, instead of relying on one vendor's ecosystem.
Add A Passphrase The Server Never Sees
Set the same end-to-end encryption passphrase in each client; it stays on your devices and never reaches the server.

ClipCascade vs Alternatives

Apple Universal Clipboard: Shares the clipboard between Apple devices signed in to the same Apple Account; ClipCascade also covers Windows, Linux and Android and runs on a server you choose.
Windows clipboard sync: Windows can sync clipboard history across Windows devices signed in with a Microsoft account; ClipCascade adds macOS, Linux and Android clients and a self-hosted server.
ClipCascade community server: Upstream runs a live community server for people who do not want to host anything; self-hosting on xCloud puts the server on your own domain instead.

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, in the browser and in each client app.

Is my clipboard private?

With an end-to-end encryption passphrase set in the clients, contents are encrypted and the server cannot read them. The passphrase is never sent to the server, so use the same one on every device.

Can other people sign up?

Not by default: sign-up is off, so the admin account is the only login. You can enable it in the environment settings.

What happened to the upstream admin123 password?

Upstream ships admin / admin123. This template replaces it with a generated password on every start, before the app reports healthy, and QA confirmed the upstream default is rejected, including after restarts and a database reset.

What runs alongside ClipCascade?

Nothing else: it is a single container with no private services. Its web interface and client sync endpoint are published through xCloud-managed HTTPS and no other ports are opened.

What should I back up?

Both volumes: clipcascade_database (the encrypted user database) and clipcascade_logs (application logs).

Backups in xCloud

Can I change the admin password?

Yes, in the web interface. After you do, the installation credentials card still shows the original value, and editing ADMIN_PASSWORD in the environment has no effect.

Can I change the database keys?

No. DB_FILE_KEY and DB_USER_KEY encrypt the user database and are read only when it is first created; the existing database cannot be opened with different keys.

Can I put an extra login in front of the site?

No. The desktop and Android apps connect straight to the server and cannot answer an extra HTTP login, so do not add one. The login page is visible to anyone who knows the address; clipboard contents are protected by your password and the client-side passphrase.

Does peer-to-peer mode work?

Upstream offers an optional peer-to-peer mode, but it needs a STUN server that clients can reach, some networks block it, and it was not tested on this template.

What survives a restart?

Users and settings, which live in the persistent clipcascade_database volume and survive an xCloud Restart.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update ClipCascade?

No. The template pins ClipCascade server 0.7.0 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, 512 MB of RAM and 2 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 340 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with ClipCascade?

No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the ClipCascade project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source ClipCascade project, which is licensed under GPL-3.0.

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.
