DailyTxT Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

DailyTxT hosting keeps your diary on a server you control. Deploy DailyTxT 2.6.4 as a self-hosted encrypted journal: xCloud runs the pinned image as a single container, generates the admin panel password, mounts a persistent volume for your entries and publishes it over HTTPS. Entries are encrypted before they reach the server's storage, so even an administrator cannot read them, and a forgotten password cannot be recovered.

What is DailyTxT?

Self-hosted DailyTxT is an encrypted journal. Its README calls it an encrypted diary and journal web app written in Svelte and Go: everything you write is encrypted before it is written to the server's storage, so even the admin cannot read it, with a calendar, Markdown editor, tags, search, per-day file uploads and an image gallery. People run it in place of a hosted journaling app such as Day One when entries should stay on their own server. It is MIT licensed.

On xCloud the template runs the phitux/dailytxt 2.6.4 image as a single container pinned by immutable digest, with no separate database and the dailytxt_data volume holding users, entries and encrypted files. HTTPS is published on your domain and xCloud generates the admin panel password. Registration is open until you turn it off, and a lost journal password means unrecoverable entries.

From Sign-Up to Your First Entry In Just 3 Easy Steps

Running a private journal yourself normally means a container, a session secret, an admin password, a volume, a domain and a certificate before the first line is written. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick DailyTxT from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, and leave Allow Registration on Yes so you can create your own account.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official DailyTxT image as a single container with no separate database, pinned by immutable digest, mount the dailytxt_data volume, generate the session secret and the admin panel password, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Register And Write
Open your HTTPS DailyTxT URL and choose Create Account — there is no default user. Sign in, write your first entry, and set Allow Registration to No once every account you need exists.

Everything DailyTxT Does, On Your Own Server

DailyTxT runs in full here: a calendar-based encrypted journal on your own domain, with storage you own.

Encrypted Entries
Everything you write is encrypted before it is written to the server's storage, with a key derived from your password.
Calendar And Markdown Editor
Pick a day in the calendar and write in Markdown with a live preview; the editor saves automatically.
Tags And Search
Add tags to entries and search for any word, tag or filename across your journal.
File Attachments
Upload files for each day; they are stored encrypted on the server, and images appear in a gallery view.
Multi-User Journals
Create several accounts, each with its own encryption key, so family or friends keep separate private journals.
Export And Read Mode
Export your entries, including uploaded files, to HTML, or switch to a distraction-free read mode for each month.

What You Can Do With DailyTxT

Keep a private diary on your own server
Write one entry per day in Markdown with a live preview, with every entry encrypted by a key derived from your own password before it is stored.
Find an old entry in seconds
Search for any word, tag or filename across the journal, or pick a day in the calendar, instead of scrolling through notes to find a date.
Attach photos and files to a day
Upload files for each day, stored encrypted on the server, and browse the day's images in a gallery view and in full screen.
Give each person a separate journal
Create several accounts, each with its own encryption key, so family or friends keep separate private journals on one install.

DailyTxT vs Alternatives

Day One: Compared with Day One, DailyTxT is MIT licensed and self-hosted, and its README says entries are encrypted before they reach the server's storage, so your Cloud VPS holds only encrypted data.
Nightlio: Nightlio is another self-hosted journal with its own xCloud template. Compare it with DailyTxT on encryption, since DailyTxT encrypts every entry with a key from the user's password.
Memos: Memos has its own xCloud template. DailyTxT is a calendar-based diary, one Markdown entry per day, with every entry encrypted before it is stored.
Journey: Compared with Journey, DailyTxT keeps entries on your own Cloud VPS, but you carry the risk: a lost password means entries that cannot be recovered.

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 much RAM does DailyTxT need?

The floor in the manifest is one core, 256 MB of RAM and 2 GB of disk, and QA measured about 143 MiB after a write round-trip. The 6 GB Cloud VPS sold on this page is the smallest plan in the OneClick family and far above that, while the disk bounds how many attachments you keep.

Is DailyTxT free and open source?

Yes. DailyTxT is MIT licensed, per the LICENSE file at the 2.6.4 tag, so nothing is owed for the application. xCloud bills the dedicated Cloud VPS alone, and your entries stay in encrypted form on the dailytxt_data volume of your own server.

Can you run DailyTxT with Docker?

Yes, and this is DailyTxT Docker hosting prepared for you. Upstream is meant to run with Docker on AMD64 or ARM64; the template runs the official phitux/dailytxt 2.6.4 image as one container, pinned by immutable digest, with dailytxt_data and HTTPS in front on your domain.

Are DailyTxT entries encrypted?

Yes. Per its README everything you write is encrypted before it is written to the server's storage, with a key derived from each user's password, so even an administrator cannot read it. Uploaded files are stored encrypted as well. Create backup codes in the app.

What happens if I forget my DailyTxT password?

Your entries become unrecoverable. The encryption key is derived from the password and no administrator reset exists, so a forgotten password cannot be fixed by xCloud or by the admin panel. Create backup codes inside the app while you still have access.

Can anyone create an account on my DailyTxT server?

While Allow Registration is Yes, anyone who can reach the site can register, and the first registrant is an ordinary user, not an administrator. Set Allow Registration to false in the Environment editor and Save and Redeploy once your accounts exist, or add Basic Authentication.

How large can DailyTxT attachments be?

Keep attachments modest. Each uploaded file is held in memory while it is encrypted, and the platform proxy accepts up to 100 MB per request, which is lower than the per-file limit the README mentions, so the proxy is the limit you will actually meet.

Does DailyTxT contact anything outside my server?

Yes. The app contacts Docker Hub to check whether a newer version exists, and there is no setting to turn that off. Your entries are not sent anywhere, but treat the container log as sensitive, because the app prints the session secret at startup.

What should I back up on a DailyTxT server?

A backup is the dailytxt_data volume, which holds users, entries and encrypted files. The data is already encrypted, so the copy is safe against casual reading, but it is useless without your password, and the generated secrets must stay private. Test a restore.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade DailyTxT?

Nothing upgrades it for you: the template pins 2.6.4 by immutable digest. Read the upstream release notes and any migration instructions, back up dailytxt_data, then adopt a newer template version when one is published, and check you can still open an old entry.

Is this DailyTxT cloud hosting?

It is your own journal on a dedicated Cloud VPS provisioned by xCloud, not a hosted diary service. The container and the volume belong to your install, the app is served over HTTPS on your domain, and the admin panel needs the generated admin password.

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.
