What is Cloudreve?

Cloudreve is an open-source file management and sharing platform you host yourself. It gives you a web file manager with share links, WebDAV, online preview of common media and documents, user groups with storage quotas, and an aria2-based offline downloader.

This page deploys the Community edition at version 4.19.1 under GPL-3.0, so your files stay on a server you control rather than with a hosted drive service.

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

A Cloudreve stack normally means an application container, a PostgreSQL database, a generated password, two volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first upload. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Cloudreve 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 Cloudreve image pinned by immutable digest with a private PostgreSQL 17 database that has no host port, mount the cloudreve_data and postgres_data volumes, generate the database password, and publish it over HTTPS. The first start runs the database migration and can take a minute or two.
Step 03
Register The First Account
Open your HTTPS Cloudreve URL and register your account straight away: Cloudreve has no pre-made admin, so the first account becomes the administrator. Then set the Site URL to your domain in the admin dashboard and decide whether to keep registration open.

Everything Cloudreve Does, On Your Own Server

Cloudreve runs in full here: a file manager and sharing portal on your own domain, backed by a database and storage you own.

Share Links For Files And Folders
Share a file or a whole folder with a link, and let the link expire when you want it to.
WebDAV Access
Mount your files from desktop and mobile WebDAV clients, alongside the web interface and API on the same HTTPS address.
Online Preview And Editing
Preview images, video, audio, text, Markdown and Office documents in the browser without downloading them first.
Users, Groups And Quotas
Run it for more than one person with user groups and per-account storage quotas set from the admin dashboard.
Offline Downloads With aria2
The bundled aria2 downloader fetches files to the server for you. BitTorrent peer ports 6888 (TCP and UDP) are public, and incoming peer connectivity is limited.
Multi-Storage Support
Upstream describes Cloudreve as supporting multiple storage backends; this install keeps files on the cloudreve_data volume to start with.

Cloudreve vs Alternatives

Dropbox: A hosted file-sync and sharing service where files live on the vendor's servers; Cloudreve is open source and, here, keeps them on a VPS you control.
Google Drive: A hosted drive tied to a Google account; Cloudreve runs on your own domain with accounts you manage.
Nextcloud: A self-hosted collaboration suite that goes well beyond files; Cloudreve is focused on file management, sharing and WebDAV.
Seafile: Another self-hosted file sync and share platform; compare how each handles storage backends, previews and sharing for your team.

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 the first time?

Cloudreve has no pre-made administrator. Open your HTTPS address and register an account: the first account registered becomes the administrator, so do it right after install. Registration stays open until you turn it off in the admin dashboard.

What runs alongside Cloudreve?

A private PostgreSQL 17 database with a generated password. It has no host port and is not exposed to the internet.

Can I use BitTorrent downloads?

Yes, through the bundled aria2 downloader. TCP and UDP port 6888 are published on the server; if the server has a firewall, open them there yourself. Incoming peer connectivity is limited.

Should I leave registration open?

Only if you want others to create accounts. For a private server, sign in as the administrator and turn off registration in the admin dashboard settings.

What should I set after installing?

Set the Site URL in the admin dashboard to your domain. It starts as http://localhost:5212, is used for share links and downloads, lives in the database and does not follow later domain changes.

What should I back up?

The cloudreve_data volume (configuration, uploads and download files) and the postgres_data volume (the database), plus the generated values in the site environment.

Backups in xCloud

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Cloudreve?

No. The template pins Cloudreve 4.19.1 and PostgreSQL by immutable digest; 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 10 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 150 MiB for both containers. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, which leaves room for files, previews and downloads.

What survives a restart?

Accounts, files and the database. A QA run restarted both containers and found the created items intact, because both volumes are persistent.

Is there anything sensitive in the container logs?

Yes. Cloudreve writes its configuration overrides, including the database password, to its own container log at every start, so anyone who can read this server's container logs can see it.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Cloudreve?

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