What is Apache DevLake?

Apache DevLake is an open-source engineering data platform. It collects data from tools such as GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira, Jenkins and SonarQube, normalises it into one database, and shows DORA metrics and engineering dashboards in Grafana.

This template runs the official DevLake server, Config UI and Grafana dashboard images with a MySQL database, all behind one domain: the Config UI at the root, Grafana under /grafana/ and the API under /api/.

From Sign-Up to Engineering Dashboards In Just 3 Easy Steps

A DevLake stack normally means a server, a Config UI, Grafana, a MySQL database, generated secrets, a reverse proxy, a domain and a certificate before the first connection. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Apache DevLake 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 official DevLake server, Config UI and Grafana images pinned by immutable digest with a private MySQL 8.4.11 database kept off the public internet, mount the mysql_data, grafana_data and devlake_logs volumes, generate the Config UI and Grafana passwords, and publish the Config UI over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Connect A Source
Wait a few minutes for the first-boot database migrations, open your HTTPS URL and sign in as devlake. Add a data source connection and schedule collection, then open /grafana/ and sign in as admin to see the dashboards.

Everything Apache DevLake Does, On Your Own Server

Apache DevLake runs in full here: the server, the Config UI, Grafana dashboards and a database you own, all behind one domain.

Connect Your Dev Tools
Add GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira, Jenkins, SonarQube and other data sources from the Config UI and schedule collection.
69 Ready-Made Dashboards
Grafana dashboards are provisioned on the reviewed release (69 of them), including DORA, served under /grafana/ on the same domain.
Bring Your Own Deployments
Send your own deployments and incidents through a webhook connection and see them in the dashboards.
Protected Config UI And API
The Config UI is behind a generated password and the REST API only answers requests carrying a DevLake API key.
Private Database And Services
The DevLake server, Grafana and MySQL have no published host ports; only the Config UI is reachable, through xCloud-managed HTTPS.
Data That Survives A Restart
Connections, collected data and Grafana users live on persistent volumes and were still present after an xCloud Restart.

What You Can Do With Apache DevLake

Track DORA metrics
See delivery metrics in Grafana once a DevLake project is configured, instead of stitching them together by hand from separate tools.
Bring scattered engineering data together
Pull commits, issues and pipeline data from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira and Jenkins into one database you control.
Include your own deployments and incidents
Send deployments and incidents from tools DevLake has no built-in connector for through a webhook connection and have them appear in the dashboards.
Keep engineering data on your own server
Collected data, including commits, issues and author email addresses, stays in your install's own database rather than a third-party service.

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.

Jorge de los Reyes Martínez

I use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

How do I sign in?

Config UI: user devlake and the generated password. Dashboards at /grafana/: user admin and the generated Grafana password. Both are shown in the protected installation credentials.

What runs alongside Apache DevLake?

The DevLake server, Grafana dashboards, the Config UI (an nginx front door) and a private MySQL 8.4.11 database. Only the Config UI is published; the rest stay on the private network.

Why does the site show a gateway error right after install?

The first boot creates the database and runs its migrations, which takes about 2-4 minutes. The site shows a gateway error until that finishes.

Who can sign in to the Config UI?

It is one shared account. Anyone with that login can add connections, store tokens and run pipelines, so keep it private. Dashboards use separate Grafana accounts.

Why do the DORA panels show a SQL error?

DORA panels show a SQL error until a DevLake project is configured; this is upstream behaviour.

Does it support real-time Grafana streaming?

No. Grafana Live is switched off because the Config UI proxy cannot forward websockets. Dashboards, panels and refresh are unaffected.

What should I back up?

The mysql_data, grafana_data and devlake_logs volumes plus the stable .env values, including ENCRYPTION_SECRET.

Backups in xCloud

What is ENCRYPTION_SECRET and can I change it?

It encrypts the data source tokens saved in DevLake. Never change or remove it after setup, or saved connections become unreadable.

What survives a restart?

Connections, collected data and Grafana users live on persistent named volumes and survived an xCloud Restart in QA.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Apache DevLake?

No. The template pins Apache DevLake v1.0.3-beta18 and its images 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 image tags and digests 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, 1536 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 1.3 GB. Large organisations produce a large database, and pipelines over many repositories need more RAM and disk than the minimum. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Apache DevLake?

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