DumbAssets Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy DumbAssets hosting and run a self-hosted asset tracker for equipment, sub-assets, photos, receipts, manuals, warranties and maintenance on your own domain. The pinned image runs as one container with all records on one volume, served over HTTPS by xCloud. A numeric PIN that you choose at install is the only access control, so pick one that is hard to guess.

What is DumbAssets?

DumbAssets is a stupid simple asset tracker for keeping track of your physical assets, their components and applicable warranties and routine maintenance, released under GPL-3.0. Upstream lists assets with model, serial and warranty details, components and sub-components, photos and receipts, search, tags, warranty and maintenance notifications through Apprise, and PIN authentication with brute force protection. Self-hosted DumbAssets is the option for people who would otherwise track equipment in a spreadsheet or a hosted tool such as Asset Panda.

On xCloud the template runs dumbwareio/dumbassets 1.0.11, pinned by digest, as one container with a single dumbassets_data volume holding the records, images, receipts and manuals. The 4 to 10 digit PIN you enter at install is the only access control: there are no user accounts, roles or single sign-on. The PIN and session secret are read at every start.

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

A DumbAssets setup normally means a container, a data volume, a reverse proxy, a domain, a certificate and a PIN before you can log your first asset. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick DumbAssets from the OneClick catalog and choose your domain and target server. The one install field is a 4 to 10 digit numeric PIN.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the upstream DumbAssets container, pinned by immutable digest, with no database service to run alongside it, mount the dumbassets_data volume for your records, config, images, receipts and manuals, generate the session secret and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Unlock And Add An Asset
Save the PIN shown in your installation credentials, open your HTTPS DumbAssets URL and unlock it. Then add your first asset and attach its photos, receipt or manual.

Everything DumbAssets Does, On Your Own Server

DumbAssets runs in full here: a focused register for the things you own, with its data on a volume you control.

Assets, Components And Sub-Components
Record each asset with model, serial number, warranty and price details, then break it down into components and sub-components.
Photos, Receipts And Manuals
Attach photos, receipts and manuals to an asset, so the paperwork lives next to the item it belongs to.
Search And Tags
Find an item by name, model, serial number or description, and organise your records with tags.
Warranty And Maintenance Reminders
Built-in Apprise support sends warranty-expiry and maintenance-event notifications to services such as Discord, ntfy and Telegram, with direct links to the asset.
PIN Protection
The instance is locked behind a numeric PIN with brute-force lockout, constant-time PIN comparison, rate limiting and secure session cookies.
Import Your Assets
Bring in existing records with the Import Assets button; the application limits an import file to 5 MiB.

Get warned before a warranty ends
Configure warranty expiration notifications so you can claim or replace in time, with a link in the message to the asset.
Track maintenance on machines
Schedule maintenance events for equipment and receive notifications, with manuals attached to the same asset.
Break big assets into parts
Add components and sub-components, such as the drives in a server, in a hierarchy that mirrors the real equipment.

DumbAssets vs Alternatives

Asset Panda: If you track equipment in Asset Panda, DumbAssets is the simple self-hosted route: one container, one data volume and one PIN, with records you can back up yourself.
Snipe-IT: Snipe-IT has its own xCloud page. DumbAssets is deliberately simple: JSON files on one volume, a single PIN and no user accounts.
Homebox: Homebox has its own xCloud page. DumbAssets centres on equipment, components, warranties and maintenance behind a single PIN, so compare sign-in models before choosing.
InvenTree: InvenTree has its own xCloud page. DumbAssets focuses on tracking physical equipment, its components, warranties and routine maintenance.

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.

What is DumbAssets used for?

DumbAssets is used to keep a record of physical things you own or manage. For each asset you store model, serial number, warranty and notes, attach photos, receipts and manuals, break it into components, tag it and search it later. It can also notify you about warranty expiry and maintenance.

Is DumbAssets free and open source?

Yes. DumbAssets is open source under GPL-3.0, so there is no licence fee for the tracker. What xCloud charges for is the Cloud VPS and the deployment. Notification services you connect through Apprise may have their own terms and costs.

Can you self-host DumbAssets with Docker?

Yes. For DumbAssets Docker hosting the template runs the dumbwareio/dumbassets 1.0.11 image, pinned by digest, as a single container with one named volume and HTTPS on your domain. The PIN you enter at install is passed in for you, and the template generates a 64-character session secret.

How much RAM does DumbAssets need?

DumbAssets's manifest floor is 512 MB of RAM, one core and 5 GB of disk. The 6 GB tier here is vastly larger than that. Disk use depends on how many photos, receipts and manuals you attach. Asset imports are limited to 5 MiB by the application.

Does DumbAssets track warranties and maintenance?

Yes. Upstream lists configurable warranty expiration notifications and maintenance event notifications, sent through a built-in Apprise integration, with links to the specific asset. You configure the notification targets yourself, since the template does not set up any messaging service for you.

Does DumbAssets have user accounts?

No. There are no user accounts, roles or single sign-on. A single PIN of 4 to 10 digits unlocks the whole app, with brute force protection upstream, and there is no default PIN. Everyone who knows it sees every asset, so share it only with people you trust.

How do I change the DumbAssets PIN?

Edit DUMBASSETS_PIN in the site's Environment editor and choose Save & Redeploy. The PIN and the session secret are read each time the container starts, so the new value takes effect after the restart. The login screen accepts digits only, and a longer PIN is harder to guess.

How do I back up DumbAssets?

Back up the dumbassets_data volume. It holds the whole data directory, including the assets and sub-assets files, the configuration, and the Images, Receipts and Manuals folders. Also keep the PIN. Copy the volume off-server and test a restore before you rely on it.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade DumbAssets?

Version 1.0.11 is pinned by digest, so catalog changes affect new installs only. Back up dumbassets_data before any maintenance, read the upstream release notes, and select a later template version. After the restart, unlock with your PIN and open a few assets to check them.

Can I run DumbAssets in the cloud on xCloud?

Yes. DumbAssets cloud use means giving the container a Cloud VPS of its own, with your domain and certificate attached. If another provider already hosts a small server for you, enrol it as self-managed. Memory needs are tiny, so other small apps can share the machine.

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.
