Dagu Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Stop stitching cron jobs and shell scripts together to run your operations. Dagu lets you define workflows as human-readable DAGs and manage their schedules, runs and execution history from one web interface. xCloud configures the official Dagu 2.14.0 image, its persistent data volume and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes, with generated administrator sign-in waiting when you open your site.

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

Self-hosting a workflow engine normally means a container, persistent storage for definitions and history, an auth layer, a domain and a certificate before a single job is scheduled. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Dagu from the OneClick catalog. Enter an administrator username and password, then choose your site domain.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official immutable Dagu 2.14.0 image, mount the dagu_data volume for definitions, history and logs, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Run A Workflow

    Open your HTTPS Site URL and sign in with the administrator credentials xCloud shows you. Create or open a workflow, run it, and confirm the result in execution history.

Everything Dagu Does, On Your Own Server

Dagu runs in full here — a self-hosted workflow orchestration engine, on infrastructure you control.

  • Human-Readable Workflows

    Define DAG workflows and manage their schedules, runs and execution history from Dagu's own web interface.

  • Official Immutable Image

    Runs the official, unmodified Dagu 2.14.0 multi-architecture image — nothing built from source, nothing patched.

  • Persistent Execution History

    Every run, its logs and its result are written to dagu_data, so history survives a restart.

  • Built-In Authentication

    Sign in with the administrator username and password you set at install — authentication is enabled from the first launch.

  • Restart-Safe By Design

    Administrator access and workflow definitions are preserved across xCloud Restart actions, not just left to chance.

  • One Volume, Fully Persistent

    Authentication data, DAG definitions, execution history, logs and the token secret all live in dagu_data.

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

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.

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 Dagu?

Dagu is a free, open-source workflow orchestration engine for defining human-readable DAG workflows and managing their schedules, runs and execution history from a web interface. This template deploys version 2.14.0.

Is Dagu free?

Yes — it is free and open source under the GPL-3.0-or-later license. 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 Dagu?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the official immutable Dagu 2.14.0 multi-architecture image, mounts its persistent data volume and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.

How do I sign in?

With the administrator username and password you enter during installation. Built-in authentication is enabled from the first launch, and xCloud shows the Site URL to open once provisioning finishes.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The HTTPS route on your domain, the persistent dagu_data volume, and a loopback-bound application port so only the Dagu web interface is reachable. Administrator authentication is built into Dagu itself and set from the values you provide.

Can workflows run Docker containers or touch the host filesystem?

No. This template deliberately does not enable Docker-socket or host-path access, so Docker-based workflow steps are not available. Workflows run within what Dagu itself supports without that access.

What should I back up?

The dagu_data volume, as one unit. It holds authentication data, DAG definitions, execution history, logs and the persisted DAGU_AUTH_TOKEN_SECRET, and should be restored together, not piecemeal.

Can I change the authentication token secret?

You can, but keep DAGU_AUTH_TOKEN_SECRET stable whenever possible — changing it invalidates active sessions. If you do rotate it, expect to sign in again afterward.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Dagu?

No. The template pins Dagu 2.14.0; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Before changing the pinned image, review the upstream release notes, take a verified backup of dagu_data, and test administrator login plus workflow execution and history afterward.

What are the server requirements?

The template asks for 512 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 5 GB of disk as a floor — Dagu is lightweight. This page sells the same 6 GB tier as every other OneClick app, well above what Dagu itself needs, so there's room for other work on the same server.

What survives a restart?

Administrator access and workflow definitions are preserved across xCloud Restart actions, because everything that matters lives on the persistent dagu_data volume, not in the container.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Dagu?

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