FilePizza Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy FilePizza hosting and let people send files browser to browser from your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned FilePizza image, commit 3258673, and publishes it over HTTPS in minutes. Files stream from the sender to the recipient and are never stored on the server, so there is no upload cap and nothing to back up. There is no login, so decide who may use it.

What is FilePizza?

FilePizza is a peer-to-peer file transfer app for the browser. The sender picks a file and gets a link, and the recipient opens it so the file streams directly from one browser to the other over WebRTC. Because data is never stored on an intermediary server, there is no upload step. Run on your own server it is a self-hosted FilePizza, an alternative to a hosted transfer service such as WeTransfer or Send Anywhere, licensed under a BSD-style licence.

On xCloud it is the kern/filepizza image at commit 3258673, pinned by digest, as one container with no volumes. Upstream publishes no tags, and the image is amd64 only. The server only brokers the connection: by default browsers meet through the public PeerJS cloud and Google's STUN server, which see IP addresses but never files. No TURN relay is included, and there is no login.

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

A FilePizza site normally means a Node container, HTTPS for the browser's service worker, a domain and a certificate before the first transfer. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick FilePizza from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and target server; the install form has no fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start kern/filepizza at commit 3258673, pinned by digest, with no volumes, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain. It is usually ready within about a minute. The image is amd64 only.
Step 03
Send A File
Open your URL and drop a file on the page. Copy the link it shows, open it in another browser or device, and keep the sender's page open until the transfer completes.

Everything FilePizza Does, On Your Own Server

FilePizza at commit 3258673 runs here as a connection broker, with the files themselves never touching your server.

Browser To Browser Transfers
Using WebRTC, the file streams straight from the sender's browser to the recipient's, with no upload step to a server.
Nothing Stored On The Server
File contents never pass through your server, so there is no size cap from the app or proxy and nothing to back up.
Several Files As A Zip
Upstream lets a sender add several files at once, which the recipient downloads as a zip.
Password Protection
Upstream offers password protection and reporting for transfers, alongside progress monitoring for the sender.
No Accounts At All
There is no login, admin panel or authentication setting. Anyone who opens the site can start a transfer.
Links Are Temporary
A transfer link stops working when the sender closes the page, and open links are forgotten when the container restarts.

FilePizza vs Alternatives

WeTransfer: A hosted file transfer service; FilePizza is the open-source, self-hosted alternative to WeTransfer and to Send Anywhere, streaming browser to browser with no upload step.
PairDrop: Another browser-based local file sharing tool, available as its own OneClick app.
Plik: A self-hosted temporary file upload service, available as its own OneClick app; it stores files on the server, where FilePizza does not.
Send Anywhere: A hosted file transfer service; FilePizza offers direct browser transfers on a site you run.

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.

Can I run FilePizza in Docker?

Yes, and this template is FilePizza Docker hosting without the setup: the kern/filepizza image at commit 3258673, pinned by digest, as a single container with no volumes and HTTPS on your own domain. The image is amd64 only and will not start on an arm64 server.

How much RAM does FilePizza need?

The template minimum is 256 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 1 GB of disk. File contents never pass through the server, so the load is small. The entry plan handles it without strain.

Are files stored on the FilePizza server?

No. Files travel directly from the sender's browser to the recipient's and are never stored on your server, so there is no upload size limit from the app or proxy. The limit is what the two browsers can handle.

Does FilePizza have a login?

No. It has no accounts, no admin login and no authentication setting, so anyone who can open the address can start a transfer. To limit access, set up Basic Authentication or IP restrictions at the access layer yourself.

Does FilePizza work behind strict firewalls?

Not always. No TURN relay is included, so two peers behind strict NATs or firewalls may fail to connect. You could run your own TURN relay and set the upstream options, but the template ships none.

Does FilePizza send data to third parties?

By default the browsers use the public PeerJS cloud at 0.peerjs.com to find each other and Google's STUN server for their network address. Those services see browser IP addresses and temporary transfer identifiers, never the files.

Is FilePizza free?

Yes. FilePizza is released under a BSD-style licence, so the software has no fee. Only the dedicated Cloud VPS that brokers your transfers is billed, and because files never reach the server, storage and bandwidth for transfers are not yours to pay for. That makes it a FilePizza cloud of your own.

How do I back up FilePizza?

There is no volume, database or stored file to back up. Transfer channels live in the container's memory and are lost on restart, which only invalidates open links. Your server-level backups still cover the host itself.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade FilePizza?

The install stays on its pinned commit until you adopt a newer template version. Upstream publishes no releases or tags and tags images by commit only. There is nothing to back up first, and a redeploy forgets open transfer links.

What happens when the sender closes the page?

The transfer link stops working. Transfer channels live in memory, so closing the sender's page or restarting the container ends open links. The sender should keep the page open until the recipient finishes the download.

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.
