What is Faridoon?

Faridoon is an open-source project for saving and publishing your favourite chat quotes so that others can see them. It is a Go service with a Vue 3 interface and a MySQL database, and upstream describes it as a self-hosted project inspired by bash.org.

Quotes are tidied as they are added, with usernames highlighted automatically and line breaks and odd characters removed. The site has user login, admins and privilege-based moderators, and an approval queue for guest submissions. Upstream states there is no paid tier, no telemetry and no usage tracking.

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

A Faridoon stack normally means a web container, a MySQL database, a first administrator, volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first quote is saved. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Faridoon from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, and optionally change the administrator username (it defaults to admin).

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official Faridoon image, pinned by immutable digest, with a private MySQL 8.4 database that has no published port, mount the mysql_data and auth_data volumes, run a short setup step that creates the administrator with a generated password, and publish the site over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Add Your First Quote

    Save the administrator password shown in the protected installation credentials, open your HTTPS Faridoon URL and sign in at /login. Add the first quote, and turn on registration under Account, Settings if you want public sign-up.

Everything Faridoon Does, On Your Own Server

Faridoon runs in full here: a quote site with accounts and moderation on your own domain, backed by a database you own.

  • Save And Publish Chat Quotes

    Usernames are highlighted automatically, and line breaks and odd characters are cleaned up, so saved quotes publish tidily.

  • Accounts And Moderators

    Users can sign in, with admins and privilege-based moderators for the people who run the collection.

  • Approval Queue

    Quotes from guests and non-privileged users wait in an approval queue; rejecting one deletes it.

  • Admin Settings

    Site title, voting, registration, guest submissions and syntax highlighting are switched on and off from the admin settings.

  • Registration Starts Closed

    xCloud creates the administrator for you and leaves public registration switched off, so strangers cannot create accounts until you decide to allow it.

  • Header Links, Webhooks And Audit Logs

    Upstream also includes header links, an approval.requested webhook, audit logs and diagnostics.

  • A self-hosted bash.org-style site

    Run your own quote database with voting and syntax highlighting that you can switch on or off, on a domain you control.

Faridoon vs Alternatives

bash.org
The quote site that inspired Faridoon; upstream's README notes it is now offline, so Faridoon lets you run a collection of your own.
Pinned messages in chat apps
Chat apps can pin messages inside the conversation. Faridoon keeps quotes on a separate site with public pages, accounts and an approval queue.
BookStack
A wiki organised into shelves, books and pages. It suits long-form documentation; Faridoon is built around short chat quotes with moderation.

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

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.

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How do I sign in?

Use the administrator username (admin by default) and the generated password from the protected installation credentials, at /login on your domain.

Can strangers register?

No. Registration is switched off from the first start. Turn it on under Account, Settings if you want public sign-up; visitors can still submit quotes as guests unless you switch that off, and submissions need approval by default.

What runs alongside Faridoon?

A MySQL 8.4 database, private to the site with no published port, and a short setup step that creates the administrator.

Is the site public by default?

Yes, the public quote pages and the Prometheus /metrics endpoint are readable without signing in. If you want an extra gate, add Basic Auth at the reverse proxy; the template does not enable it.

Can I change the administrator password later?

Yes, inside the app. The administrator variables only create the first account on the first start, so changing them afterwards does not change the account.

What should I back up?

The mysql_data volume, which holds the quotes, users and settings, and the stable values in the environment. The auth_data volume holds login sessions. Keep the administrator and database passwords private.

What survives a restart?

Quotes and the administrator account — both were still present after an xCloud Restart in QA, because they live on persistent named volumes.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Faridoon?

No. The template pins Faridoon 2.5.0 and MySQL 8.4 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release, 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, 384 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk; measured use in QA was about 270 MiB with a quote stored. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Faridoon?

No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the Faridoon project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source Faridoon project, which is licensed under AGPL-3.0.

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.
