DVinyl Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

DVinyl hosting catalogues your physical media on your own server. Deploy DVinyl 3.2.1 as a self-hosted physical media collection manager: xCloud runs the pinned image with a private MongoDB 8.0 database, creates your administrator account from the install form so nobody can claim the instance first, mounts persistent volumes for the database and item images and publishes it over HTTPS.

What is DVinyl?

Self-hosted DVinyl is a physical media collection manager. Its README calls it a little home for your physical collection that lives on your own server, with vinyls, CDs, cassettes, books, movies, video games, LEGO sets and board games, plugin-based media types, virtual shelves, wishlists, a statistics dashboard, a barcode scanner, and cover art and metadata from databases such as Discogs and Hardcover. It stands in for tracking a collection on a hosted site such as Discogs, under the MIT licence.

The xCloud template for DVinyl runs the ghcr.io/kyonew/dvinyl 3.2.1 image beside a private MongoDB 8.0 database, both pinned by immutable digest, with dvinyl_uploads and dvinyl_mongo_data volumes. HTTPS is published on your domain, and a one-shot job creates the administrator at install. Metadata lookup needs your own provider keys, and sessions are held in memory.

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

A DVinyl stack normally means an app container, a MongoDB database, signing secrets, volumes, a domain, a certificate and a first-run setup page that anyone can reach. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick DVinyl from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then set the administrator username, email and password — a strong password is generated for you.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the upstream DVinyl image, pinned by immutable digest, with a private MongoDB 8.0 database kept off the public internet, mount the dvinyl_uploads and dvinyl_mongo_data volumes, create your administrator account through a one-shot init service, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Add Your First Record
Open your HTTPS DVinyl URL and sign in with the administrator username or email and the password shown in the installation credentials. Then add your first record, or import an instance backup.

Everything DVinyl Does, On Your Own Server

DVinyl runs in full here: a collection manager for your physical media on your own domain, backed by a database you own.

Many Media Types, One Collection
Track vinyl, CDs and cassettes, books, manga and comics, movies, video games, LEGO sets and board games in one place.
Wishlists And Statistics
Keep a wishlist of items you are hunting for and lay your collection out on a dashboard whose stat widgets you choose.
Optional Metadata Lookup
Pull in cover art and metadata from Discogs, TMDB, Hardcover, IGDB, Rebrickable, BoardGameGeek and ScreenScraper once you add your own provider keys.
Optional Single Sign-On
DVinyl supports OIDC login with providers such as Authentik, Keycloak, Authelia or pocketID; enable it with lines in the environment file.
Administrator Ready At First Boot
The administrator account exists from the first boot, and the setup page redirects to login afterwards, so a visitor cannot claim the instance first.
Albums And Images Survive Restarts
Item images and the database live on persistent volumes, and a stored album was still present after a container restart in QA.

What You Can Do With DVinyl

Catalogue a record collection
Add vinyl, CDs and cassettes by ID or barcode, and browse them as a grid, a table or virtual shelves, with the data on a Cloud VPS you control.
Track more than music
Keep books, movies, games, LEGO sets and board games in the same app, enabling only the media-type plugins you collect.
Hunt with a wishlist
Keep a wishlist of items you are looking for next to what you own, and lay the collection out on a dashboard whose stat widgets you choose.
Keep separate libraries per person
Use multiple collections to keep yours, the family's or each room's items apart, and switch between them in one click.

DVinyl vs Alternatives

Discogs: Discogs is a hosted music database and marketplace. DVinyl pulls metadata from it, with your own key, but keeps your collection and images in a database on your own server.
Goodreads: Goodreads is a hosted book tracker. DVinyl covers books alongside vinyl, movies and games and can import a Goodreads library, with everything on your own Cloud VPS.
BookLogr: BookLogr is a self-hosted book tracker with its own xCloud template. DVinyl is broader, covering physical media of many kinds, while BookLogr focuses on reading lists and ratings.
Homebox: Homebox is a self-hosted home inventory app with its own xCloud template. DVinyl is built around media collections, with metadata lookup and virtual shelves rather than general household items.

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 DVinyl need?

The template's minimum is 1 CPU core, 512 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk, and QA saw roughly 185 MiB idle across the app and MongoDB. The 6 GB Cloud VPS here leaves comfortable room, while item images are what grow the disk.

Is DVinyl free and open source?

Yes. DVinyl is MIT licensed, per the LICENSE file at the v3.2.1 tag, so the software costs nothing to license, the dedicated Cloud VPS is the only thing xCloud charges for, and your collection and item images stay on your own volumes.

Can you run DVinyl with Docker?

Yes. xCloud sets up DVinyl Docker hosting for you: the template runs the upstream ghcr.io/kyonew/dvinyl 3.2.1 image beside MongoDB 8.0, both pinned by immutable digest, with dvinyl_uploads and dvinyl_mongo_data volumes and HTTPS on your domain. It is DVinyl cloud hosting on your own VPS, not a shared service.

Which media types does DVinyl support?

Per its README, music on vinyl, CDs and cassettes, books including manga and comics, movies on Blu-ray, 4K, DVD, VHS and LaserDisc, video games, LEGO sets and board games. Every media type is a plugin, so you turn on only the ones you collect.

Do I need API keys to use DVinyl?

Not to run it. Metadata lookup from Discogs, TMDB, Hardcover, IGDB, Rebrickable, BoardGameGeek and ScreenScraper needs your own provider keys, added as optional lines in the Environment editor. Without them you can still add items by hand, so the catalogue works from day one.

Can a stranger claim my DVinyl instance first?

No. The administrator is created automatically at install from the values you set on the install form, and the setup page redirects to login afterwards. In QA the setup page redirected to login on the first request, so there is no first-visitor window.

Does DVinyl support single sign-on?

Yes, optionally. It supports OIDC login with providers such as Authentik, Keycloak, Authelia or pocketID, configured with lines in the environment file followed by a redeploy. The template configures no provider, so set one up and test it before you rely on it.

Does a DVinyl restart sign users out?

Yes. Sessions are held in memory, so a restart signs users out. Your albums, item images and database are kept on the persistent volumes, so nothing is lost; people simply sign in again. Plan restarts for quiet moments if several people use the instance.

Does DVinyl need a CPU with AVX?

Yes, because MongoDB 8 needs a CPU with AVX support. Before deploying, especially on your own server through the self-managed plans, check that the processor reports AVX, or the database will not start and DVinyl, which waits for it, will not come up either.

What should I back up on a DVinyl server?

A backup needs both volumes: dvinyl_uploads for item images and dvinyl_mongo_data for the database. Keep the administrator password private. Instance backup imports are accepted up to 2 GiB, though a Cloudflare proxy caps single requests near 100 MB. Test a restore.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade DVinyl?

Nothing upgrades it for you: the template pins 3.2.1 by immutable digest. Back up both volumes, read the upstream release notes, then adopt a newer template version; never edit the image tag or digest by hand. Check sign-in and an old item afterwards.

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.
