eKuiper Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy eKuiper hosting and run SQL rules over your IoT and edge data from a web console on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned eKuiper 2.4.2 engine with the eKuiper manager console pre-connected to it, generates the admin password, mounts persistent volumes and publishes the console over HTTPS in minutes — the engine's REST API stays on the private network.

What is eKuiper?

eKuiper is a lightweight stream-processing engine from LF Edge for IoT and edge data. It reads data from MQTT, HTTP, files and other sources, filters and transforms it with SQL rules, and sends the result to sinks such as MQTT, REST endpoints, files and databases.

This template runs the engine together with the eKuiper manager web console, so streams and rules are managed from a browser.

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

An eKuiper stack normally means an engine, a manager console wired to it, replaced default credentials, volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first rule. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick eKuiper from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the eKuiper 2.4.2 engine and the eKuiper manager 1.9.5 console, both official images pinned by immutable digest, keep the engine's REST API private, mount the ekuiper_data, ekuiper_log, ekuiper_plugins and manager_data volumes, generate the admin password and publish the console over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Create A Stream And A Rule

    Open your HTTPS eKuiper URL and sign in as admin with the password from the protected credentials. Then create a stream and write a SQL rule from the console.

Everything eKuiper Does, On Your Own Server

eKuiper runs here as upstream ships it: an SQL rules engine for streaming data with a web console in front, on a server you control.

  • SQL Rules On Streaming Data

    Write SQL rules that filter and transform streaming data as it arrives from your sources.

  • Many Sources

    Read from MQTT, HTTP pull, files and other built-in sources.

  • Route To Sinks

    Send results to sinks such as MQTT, REST endpoints, files and databases.

  • Manager Web Console

    Manage streams and rules from the eKuiper manager console, already connected to the engine.

  • Generated Admin Password

    The manager's well-known default login is rejected; sign in as admin with the generated password, which you can change from the console user menu.

  • Small Footprint

    The engine and console idle at roughly 20 MB combined, and the template's baseline is 1 CPU core, 256 MB of RAM and 2 GB of disk.

What You Can Do With eKuiper

  • Filter noisy device data

    Write SQL rules that drop or reshape readings from MQTT topics before they reach storage or other systems.

  • Transform streams in flight

    Reshape streaming data with SQL and built-in functions, then forward the result to an MQTT topic, REST endpoint, file or database.

  • Manage rules from a console

    Create and edit streams and rules from the eKuiper manager web console instead of calling the engine's REST API by hand.

  • Run a small edge pipeline on one server

    The engine and console idle at roughly 20 MB combined, so a pipeline fits on a modest server alongside other apps.

eKuiper vs Alternatives

Node-RED
Node-RED builds event-driven flows in a visual editor, while eKuiper expresses the filtering and transformation as SQL rules.
Apache Flink
Apache Flink is a distributed stream-processing framework; eKuiper is a single lightweight engine aimed at IoT and edge data.
Telegraf
Telegraf is an agent that collects, processes and writes metrics; eKuiper processes streams with SQL rules and a web console.

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!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How do I sign in?

Use admin and the generated password from the protected credentials. The upstream default login is rejected; you can change the password from the console user menu.

What runs alongside the console?

The eKuiper engine, reachable only from the console over the private network, and a one-shot password initialiser. The engine's REST API is not published.

Which data sources can I use?

MQTT, HTTP pull, files and other built-in sources. The engine's HTTP push server is not published; use MQTT, or rules that pull data.

Is the engine's REST API public?

No. It has no login of its own and is not published. Do not expose it without your own authentication in front.

Can I use native or Python plugins?

No. The default Alpine image does not support native or Python plugins. Rules, streams, MQTT, HTTP and file sources and sinks, and built-in functions work.

Does every console page work?

Streams and rules work through the engine's REST API, but the manager is the 1.9 line and no 2.x manager image exists upstream, so a console page that relies on an endpoint removed in engine 2.x may not render fully.

What should I back up?

The ekuiper_data and manager_data volumes, together with the stable generated values from the environment. Do not rotate MANAGER_AES_KEY: data the manager encrypted with it becomes unreadable.

Backups in xCloud

What survives a restart?

Streams, rules and console accounts survive an xCloud Restart, because engine data, logs, plugins and manager data each have a named volume.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update eKuiper?

No. The template pins the images by immutable digest; existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, 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 2 GB of disk. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with eKuiper?

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