Fireshare Hosting Live In 5 Minutes
Fireshare hosting on xCloud gives you a self-hosted video and image sharing library for game clips and other media, shared by unique links. Deploy Fireshare 1.8.4 and xCloud runs the pinned lite image behind HTTPS with a generated admin login that replaces the image's default, and four persistent volumes for data, processed media, videos and images, ready in just a few minutes.

What is Fireshare?
Self-hosted Fireshare is a library for sharing your game clips, videos and other media through unique links. Upstream's README lists sharing videos through unique links, public and private feeds where private is link-only, video transcoding, password-protected videos, game-based organisation with cover art, folder sharing, uploads, view counting, cropping and tags. It is a self-hosted alternative to clip-sharing services such as Medal, and it is licensed GPL-3.0.
On xCloud the template runs the shaneisrael/fireshare 1.8.4 lite image, pinned by digest, as one container with SQLite and no separate database. Four named volumes hold app data, processed media, videos and images, so a library survives a restart or a redeploy. New items are private by default, there is no self-service sign-up, no email, and GPU transcoding is unavailable.
From Sign-Up to Your First Shared Clip In Just 3 Easy Steps
Self-hosting a media sharing server normally means a container, a database, TLS and storage that survives a restart before the first upload. This is the same starting point without the assembly.
Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick Fireshare from the OneClick catalog and choose a domain. No other fields are needed.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
xCloud starts the pinned Fireshare 1.8.4 image, generates the admin password, mounts persistent volumes and serves HTTPS.
Step 03
Sign In And Upload
Sign in as fireshare-admin, upload a first video or image, and check its visibility before sharing the link.
Everything Fireshare Does, On Your Own Server
Fireshare runs in full here: the library, the share links and the user accounts, on infrastructure you control.
Unique Share Links
Share game clips, videos and images through unique links on your own domain, with Open Graph previews on every link.
Unlisted, Not Locked
Private items are unlisted, which means anyone with the link can watch them. They are not access-controlled, so treat links as secrets.
Public Upload Off By Default
Anonymous upload is off at install. Turn it on in Settings only if you want strangers to be able to upload to your library.
Users With Permissions
Create extra users with per-user permissions from Settings, with optional two-factor authentication on each account.
Chunked Browser Uploads
Chunked browser uploads handle large video files, so a big clip does not have to travel in one request to reach your library.
Library Survives Restarts
The database, config, videos, images and generated thumbnails all live on persistent volumes and survive an xCloud Restart.
Everything You Need To Run Your Media Sharing, Set Up
xCloud runs the server and the stack under Fireshare. You own your library, your users and your share links.

What You Can Do With Fireshare
Game clip sharing by link
A player drops recordings from their capture tool into the library and shares a unique link in chat, instead of uploading each clip to a video platform.
Keep clips private until you choose
An admin leaves new items private and flips visibility only for the clips to be shared, treating each share link as a secret that anyone holding it can open.
Organise by game
A group sorts its clips by game with cover art, adds tags for search and categories, and uses folder sharing to hand over a whole set at once.
Run a private library for a small group
An owner creates extra users from Settings, switches on two-factor authentication per account, and keeps the library on volumes they back up.
Fireshare vs Alternatives
- Medal
- Choose Fireshare as a Medal alternative when you want clips on your own Cloud VPS. It is a category comparison: no source compared them, and this template offers CPU transcoding only, without GPU acceleration.
- Immich
- Immich is a self-hosted photo and video library with its own OneClick page. Fireshare is narrower: link-based sharing of clips with game organisation, view counts and a public feed.
- Jellyfin
- Jellyfin is a self-hosted media server with its own OneClick page for streaming a personal library. Fireshare focuses on sharing individual clips through unique links rather than serving a catalogue.
- Video platform uploads
- Uploading each clip to a public video site hands distribution to that platform. Fireshare serves the file from your own domain, with per-item visibility and share links you control.

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 GeovannyI'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 PinedaI'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
Leo KooHow Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud
Ed EllinghamxCloud 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 ButucelxCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar AhmedTrust 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 SinghSo 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 VillaCame from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson ElI'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 LewisI came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowellI 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
David McCanHow Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin HeinrichsI had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan SpinozaDear 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 MaknojiaCame from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Gary MoodyxCloud 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.
Jorge de los Reyes MartínezI use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

Blaine MooreFrequently Asked Questions
Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.
Is Fireshare free and open source?
Yes. Fireshare is licensed GPL-3.0, so the library software has no licence charge of its own. xCloud bills for the dedicated Cloud VPS, and your clips stay on your own volumes. This template adds no paid tier of any kind.
Can I run Fireshare with Docker?
Yes, and this template does it for you: the shaneisrael/fireshare 1.8.4 lite image, pinned by digest, with four named volumes behind HTTPS. It is Fireshare Docker hosting without writing the compose file. The lite image is used because GPU passthrough is not available.
How much RAM does a Fireshare cloud server need?
Fireshare needs 512 MB of RAM at least, and the 6 GB Cloud VPS sold here suits a Fireshare cloud install. CPU transcoding is off unless you enable it and adds real load, so a busy library needs more headroom.
Are Fireshare videos private?
New items are private by default. Admins manage the library after signing in, and share links expose only the items you mark public. The public feed and some APIs are reachable without a login, while library APIs need a session, so treat share links as secrets.
How do I upload videos to Fireshare?
Use the in-app uploader, which sends browser uploads in about 90 MB chunks, or copy videos into the videos volume and images into the images volume from the server. The library scans for new files on an interval you can set or trigger from the admin panel.
Does Fireshare support GPU transcoding?
No. The template uses the lite image and GPU or NVENC transcoding is not usable here. CPU transcoding exists but is off by default, because it adds load, and you can enable it with ENABLE_TRANSCODING if you accept that.
How do I back up Fireshare?
Take one backup of fireshare_data, fireshare_processed, fireshare_videos and fireshare_images together. The data volume holds the SQLite database and app configuration, and the videos and images volumes hold your originals. Test a restore before relying on it.
How do I update Fireshare?
There are no automatic upgrades. Release 1.8.4-lite is pinned by digest, and catalogue changes never touch live sites. Back up all four volumes, read upstream's notes, then adopt a newer template version when one is published, keeping ADMIN_PASSWORD set because the image default is admin.
How do I sign in to Fireshare?
Open your HTTPS URL and sign in as fireshare-admin with the generated password in your credentials. The username and password are re-applied on every start, so change them in the Environment editor, because a password changed only inside the app reverts on restart. Extra users are created from Settings.
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.
