Docassemble Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Docassemble hosting and run guided interviews that turn answers into finished PDF and Word documents on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned Docassemble 1.10.13 image as a single container with PostgreSQL, Redis and RabbitMQ built in, creates the first administrator from the e-mail and password you enter, mounts a persistent backup volume and publishes the site over HTTPS.

What is Docassemble?

Docassemble is a free, open-source expert system for guided interviews and document assembly. It provides a web site that conducts interviews with users and, based on the information gathered, can present them with documents in PDF, RTF or DOCX format, which they can download or e-mail.

Interviews do not have to assemble a document: upstream says they might submit an application, direct the user to other resources, store user input, interact with APIs or simply provide information. It was created for automating the practice of law, but it is a general-purpose platform.

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

A Docassemble server normally means a web stack, a database, a queue, background workers, a domain and a certificate before the first interview. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Docassemble from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then enter the admin e-mail — the admin password can be generated for you.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start the official Docassemble image, pinned by immutable digest, as a single container that runs PostgreSQL, Redis and RabbitMQ inside it, mount the docassemble_backup volume, create the first administrator, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain. The first start takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 03
Invite Users And Build Interviews
Open your HTTPS Docassemble URL and sign in with the admin e-mail and the password from the credentials card. Invite users from Admin > Users, then start writing interviews.

Everything Docassemble Does, On Your Own Server

Docassemble runs in full here: a guided-interview server on your own domain, with its database, queue and workers inside the one container.

Guided Interviews In YAML And Python
Write web interviews that collect answers step by step, with Python available to extend what an interview can do.
PDF And Word Documents
Present users with documents in PDF or DOCX format built from their answers, which they can download or e-mail.
Everything In One Container
PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ and the Celery background workers run inside the container, so there is nothing extra to set up.
Closed Sign-Up By Default
Public registration is off. The admin invites users from Admin > Users, or opens sign-up under Admin > Configuration.
Persistent Backup Volume
Interview data, uploaded files and generated documents survive an xCloud Restart; Docassemble writes a database dump, uploaded files and config.yml to the docassemble_backup volume.
Playground For Developers
Admins and developers can write and run Python in the Playground, so grant those roles only to people you trust.

Docassemble vs Alternatives

Google Forms: A hosted form builder. Docassemble runs on your own server and its interviews are written in YAML and Python, with PDF and DOCX documents assembled from the answers.
Typeform: A hosted form and survey builder. Docassemble is open source under the MIT licence, so you host it yourself and keep the interview data on your own server.
Jotform: A hosted online form builder. With Docassemble, you run the interview server yourself, and interviews can run background tasks and call APIs through Python.

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?

Use the admin e-mail and password from the credentials card. The first administrator is created from them on first start only; change the password later from your profile page inside Docassemble.

Can visitors register themselves?

No. Registration is off by default; invite users from Admin > Users, or enable it under Admin > Configuration by setting allow registration to true.

What runs alongside Docassemble?

PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ and the Celery background workers all run inside the single container, so there are no private services to manage separately.

Why does the site show an error right after install?

The first start sets up PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ and the language packages inside the container, which takes about 5 to 10 minutes. The page can show an error until it finishes.

Who should get the Admin and Developer roles?

Only people you trust. Admins and developers can run arbitrary Python through the Playground and package installation.

Is the site public by default?

Yes. The template does not put Basic Auth in front of the site; you can add it at your reverse proxy or access layer if the interviews should not be public.

How big can uploads be?

16 MB by default. To raise the limit, set maximum content length in bytes under Admin > Configuration; the proxy accepts up to 100 MB.

What should I back up?

The docassemble_backup volume, which holds the database dump, uploaded files and config.yml. Keep the admin password private.

Backups in xCloud

Can I lose data if the server crashes?

Possibly. Docassemble writes its backup on a clean stop, which can take up to 10 minutes, and daily. After a hard crash, changes made since the last daily backup can be lost.

What survives a restart?

Interview data, uploaded files and generated documents survived an xCloud Restart in QA, restored from the docassemble_backup volume.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Docassemble?

No. The template pins Docassemble 1.10.13 by immutable digest, and existing sites are not automatically upgraded. 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 16 GB?

The template's baseline asks for 2 CPU cores, 4096 MB of RAM and 20 GB of disk; measured use in QA was about 2.2 to 2.9 GiB. A 4 GB minimum leaves little headroom on a 6 GB server, so this page sells the 16 GB tier as the entry rung.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Docassemble?

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