CommaFeed Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

A private, Google Reader inspired RSS reader for the feeds you actually follow — folders, search, keyboard shortcuts and OPML import, all on your own server. xCloud configures the pinned container, a private PostgreSQL database and the HTTPS reverse proxy, so all that's left is creating your first account.

  • No terminal
  • No technical skills needed
  • No lock-in, cancel anytime

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

Self-hosting CommaFeed normally means a container, a PostgreSQL database, a domain and a certificate before a single feed is subscribed. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick CommaFeed from the OneClick catalog. Choose your site and a temporary or production domain.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the pinned CommaFeed 7.3.0 image, provision a private PostgreSQL database on commafeed_postgresql_data, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Create Your Account And Close Sign-Up

    Open your HTTPS URL and create the first local account. Then set COMMAFEED_USERS_ALLOW_REGISTRATIONS=false in the xCloud Environment editor and restart the app to close public registration.

Everything CommaFeed Does, On Your Own Server

CommaFeed runs in full here — the same subscribe, organize and read workflow as any hosted feed reader, on infrastructure you control.

  • Feed Organization With Folders

    Group RSS and Atom subscriptions into folders so a large feed list stays navigable instead of one long, unsorted stream.

  • Full-Text Search

    Search across subscribed entries to find something you remember reading without scrolling back through every feed.

  • Keyboard Shortcuts

    Move through entries, mark as read and star items without reaching for the mouse, the same way the original Google Reader worked.

  • OPML Import And Export

    Bring an existing subscription list in from another reader, or export yours back out — your feed list is never locked in.

  • Mobile-Friendly Reading

    Read comfortably from a phone browser, with mobile clients able to talk to the same API your desktop session uses.

  • Your Own PostgreSQL Database

    Subscriptions, entries, reading state and starred items live in a PostgreSQL database private to your server, not a shared multi-tenant one.

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
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.

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.

What is CommaFeed?

CommaFeed is a free, open-source, Google Reader inspired RSS and Atom feed reader. It supports feed organization into folders, full-text search, keyboard shortcuts, mobile-friendly reading and OPML import/export. This template deploys version 7.3.0.

Is CommaFeed free?

Yes — it is free and open source under the Apache-2.0 licence. What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the application itself.

Can I self-host CommaFeed?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the pinned CommaFeed 7.3.0 container with its own PostgreSQL database, and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in about five minutes instead of assembled by hand.

Does CommaFeed support OPML import and export?

Yes. You can bring in a subscription list exported from another RSS reader, or export your own CommaFeed subscriptions back out to OPML at any time.

How do I create my first account?

Open your CommaFeed HTTPS URL after installation and register the first local account directly in the app — xCloud does not generate an administrator account for you here.

Why do I need to disable registration after signing up?

The template ships with public sign-up open so you can create your first account. Once you have one, set COMMAFEED_USERS_ALLOW_REGISTRATIONS=false in the xCloud Environment editor and restart the app — otherwise anyone who finds your URL can register their own account.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The CommaFeed URL, the private PostgreSQL database and its generated password, a generated SESSION_ENCRYPTION_KEY, the private container network, the persistent volume, the domain and the HTTPS route. PostgreSQL has no host port, so it is never directly exposed to the internet.

Can I change SESSION_ENCRYPTION_KEY later?

You can, but avoid it unless necessary — changing SESSION_ENCRYPTION_KEY invalidates every existing login session, signing everyone out at once.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 2048 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 10 GB of disk as a floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier at that same floor, with headroom driven mostly by how many feeds you follow and how long you retain entries.

What should I back up?

The commafeed_postgresql_data volume, which is the only place CommaFeed keeps state — accounts, subscriptions, entries, reading state and starred items all live there.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update CommaFeed?

No. The template pins CommaFeed 7.3.0; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Customers should schedule and test their own backups and review upstream release notes before updating.

What survives a restart?

Everything in the PostgreSQL database on commafeed_postgresql_data, because it is a persistent named volume. Restarting the container does not touch your subscriptions or reading state.

Is xCloud officially partnered with CommaFeed?

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

Can I run other apps on the same server?

Yes. It is a dedicated Cloud VPS, not a locked appliance, so you can deploy other OneClick apps or your own sites beside it as long as the resources are there.

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.
