What is eddrit?

eddrit is an open-source, lightweight alternative frontend for Reddit. It lets you browse subreddits, posts and users without a Reddit account, and keeps visitor settings such as theme and default sort in the visitor's own browser.

It needs two components: the app itself and a Valkey instance, which it uses to store OAuth tokens. Upstream's design is compact and inspired by old.reddit.com, and the project says it is inspired by Nitter, the alternative frontend for Twitter.

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

An eddrit install normally means an app container, a Valkey instance, a reverse proxy, a domain and a certificate. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick eddrit from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the eddrit image and a Valkey 9.1 cache, both pinned by immutable digest, keep Valkey on the private network with no published port, and publish eddrit over HTTPS on your domain. There are no volumes and no credentials to save.
Step 03
Browse A Subreddit
Open your HTTPS eddrit URL — it is usually ready within about 30 seconds — then search for a subreddit from the front page or open one directly. There is no account to create.

Everything eddrit Does, On Your Own Server

eddrit runs in full here: a lightweight Reddit frontend on your own domain, with nothing stored on the server.

eddrit vs Alternatives

Reddit (reddit.com): Reddit's own site and apps. eddrit shows the same pages at the same URL paths, without needing an account to browse.
old.reddit.com: Reddit's older interface. eddrit's compact design is inspired by it rather than by the redesign.
Redlib: Another self-hosted Reddit frontend. eddrit credits redlib for its Android app spoofing code.

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 makes eddrit different from Reddit's own site?

It is a lightweight frontend that lets you browse subreddits, posts and users without an account, and keeps visitor settings in the browser.

How do I sign in?

There is no sign-in. Anyone with the address can use the site, so restrict access if it should be private.

Is the instance public by default?

Yes — eddrit has no accounts, admin user or built-in authentication, and this template does not enable any. Put Basic Auth or another access control in front of the site if it should not be open.

What runs alongside eddrit?

A Valkey 9.1 cache that holds only the Reddit OAuth token. It is reachable only on the install's private network, keeps no data on disk and is capped at 64 MB of memory.

What should I back up?

Nothing. The app writes no files, Valkey keeps no data on disk and the template has no named volumes. The OAuth token is fetched again automatically after a restart.

Backups in xCloud

What if Reddit blocks my server?

Reddit may rate-limit or block datacenter IP addresses, which makes pages load empty or with errors. Set PROXY in the Environment editor to an HTTP proxy, such as Cloudflare WARP's proxy mode, then Save and Redeploy.

Where do requests to Reddit come from?

From your server's IP address, so heavy use can get that IP rate-limited by Reddit. Set PROXY if that happens.

What happens if I open a subreddit that does not exist?

eddrit returns its own error page.

Where are visitor settings stored?

In each visitor's own browser. Settings such as theme and default sort are not stored on the server.

How do I change LOG_LEVEL, DEBUG or PROXY?

Edit them in the site's Environment editor, then Save and Redeploy. DEBUG should stay false outside of development.

Edit environment variables and redeploy

What survives a restart?

There is no data to lose. In QA, after an xCloud Restart both containers came back and served pages again.

Does xCloud automatically update eddrit?

No. The template pins eddrit 0.19.0 and Valkey 9.1 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release 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 6 GB?

The template's baseline asks for 1 CPU core, 256 MB of RAM and 1 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 138 MiB across eddrit and its cache. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with eddrit?

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