FlexGet Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

FlexGet hosting on xCloud runs your feed-watching tasks as a self-hosted task automation daemon on your own domain. Deploy FlexGet 3.22.3 and xCloud runs the pinned official image as a single container, writes a minimal config with no tasks, generates the web login, publishes the web interface over HTTPS, and keeps the config and state on one persistent volume in minutes.

What is FlexGet?

Self-hosted FlexGet is a multipurpose automation tool for content such as torrents, NZBs, podcasts, comics, series and movies. Upstream's README says it can use sources like RSS feeds, HTML pages, CSV files and search engines, and there are plugins for sites without useful feeds. You define rules that filter the entries and hand the results to downloaders, notifiers and scripts. It is an alternative to checking feeds and downloading by hand, and it is MIT licensed.

On xCloud the template runs ghcr.io/flexget/flexget 3.22.3, pinned by digest, as one container where the daemon, scheduler, web interface and API are one process. State is an SQLite database in the flexget_config volume next to config.yml. It starts with no tasks, so you add your own, and the web interface has a single account.

From Sign-Up to a Running FlexGet In Just 3 Easy Steps

A FlexGet install normally means a container, a config file, a web password, a volume, a domain and a certificate before the first task. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick FlexGet 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 official FlexGet image, pinned by immutable digest, as a single container with no companion services, mount the flexget_config volume, generate the web password, and publish the web interface over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Add Your First Task
Open your HTTPS FlexGet URL and sign in as flexget with the password on the credentials card. Open the Config page and add a task: a feed, some filters and an output. Changes to the configuration reload automatically.

Everything FlexGet Does, On Your Own Server

FlexGet runs in full here: the scheduler, web interface and API in one container, with your configuration kept on a persistent volume.

Watch Feeds, Sites And APIs
FlexGet reads RSS feeds, web pages and APIs on a schedule and turns what it finds into entries for your tasks.
Rule-Based Filtering
Entries are filtered with the rules you define in each task, so only what matches is passed on.
Downloaders, Notifiers And Scripts
Accepted entries are handed to downloaders, notifiers, scripts and other plugins.
Edit Tasks In The Browser
The built-in Config page edits config.yml on the persistent volume, and the configuration reloads automatically when it changes.
Scheduler And REST API
The daemon, scheduler, web interface and REST API are one process, protected by a single generated login.
One Lightweight Container
No companion services to run. Measured idle use in QA was about 160 MiB.

What You Can Do With FlexGet

RSS task automation on a schedule
An owner of a podcast or content feed collection defines a task with a feed, some filters and an output, and lets the scheduler run it, instead of checking the feed by hand.
Filter entries with rules
A user writes rules that match titles or qualities in a feed and pass only the matching entries on, using FlexGet's plugin set and a YAML configuration edited from the web interface.
Hand matches to downloaders and notifiers
An admin connects the output of a task to a downloader, a notifier or a script, so a matching entry is forwarded automatically where the user has the right to fetch it.
Manage config from the browser
An operator opens the Config page of the web interface to edit config.yml, trigger runs and see results, without logging into the server for every change.

FlexGet vs Alternatives

Manual RSS downloads: Checking feeds and fetching items by hand repeats the same steps. FlexGet automates the watch, filter and hand-off loop on a schedule, and keeps its task state in an SQLite database on a volume you control.
Sonarr: Sonarr is a series manager with its own OneClick page. FlexGet is a rules-and-scheduling layer that can sit beside such apps, so this is not a one-for-one replacement and makes no capability claim.
Radarr: Radarr is a movie manager with its own OneClick page. FlexGet reads feeds and other sources with rules you write in YAML, rather than managing a movie library through a dedicated interface.
Prowlarr: Prowlarr is an indexer manager with its own OneClick page. FlexGet is a general automation daemon for feeds and pages, with downloaders and notifiers as outputs.

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.

Is FlexGet free and open source?

Yes. FlexGet is MIT licensed, so there is no charge for the daemon itself. xCloud bills for the dedicated Cloud VPS. This template adds no paid tier, and you should only automate content you have the right to download.

Can I run FlexGet with Docker?

Yes, and the official image is flexget/flexget. This template does it for you: the ghcr.io/flexget/flexget 3.22.3 image, pinned by digest, started through a small wrapper that writes a minimal config and sets the web password, behind HTTPS. It is FlexGet Docker hosting.

How much RAM does a FlexGet cloud server need?

FlexGet needs 512 MB of RAM at least, and the 6 GB Cloud VPS sold here suits a FlexGet cloud install. The daemon, scheduler, web interface and API are one process, so many tasks and large feeds need more headroom.

What can FlexGet automate?

Upstream describes content such as torrents, NZBs, podcasts, comics, series and movies, from sources like RSS feeds, HTML pages and CSV files. You pair a source with filters and outputs in a task. The template starts with no tasks, so you build them in the Config page.

Is the FlexGet web interface protected?

Yes. The web interface and API have a single account, user flexget, with the generated password in your credentials, applied again on every start. There is no sign-up page and no default password. Anyone who can sign in can change the configuration, so keep it private.

Can FlexGet run shell commands?

Yes. FlexGet configurations can use the exec plugin to run shell commands inside the container and send requests to any address the server can reach. The API token is equivalent to the password, so treat both as sensitive and consider Basic Auth at your proxy.

How do I write a FlexGet task?

Open the site, sign in and use the Config page to add a task with a feed, filters and an output, then run it from the web interface or let the scheduler do it. The FlexGet cookbook has task examples, and config.yml is where everything lives.

How do I back up FlexGet?

Take a backup of the whole flexget_config volume as one unit: it holds config.yml, db-config.sqlite with task state, the web password hash and API token, and the lock file. Restore it together, and test a restore before relying on the copy.

Backups in xCloud

How do I update FlexGet?

Upgrades are manual. Release 3.22.3 is fixed by digest, and catalogue changes never reach live sites. Back up flexget_config, read upstream's notes, then adopt a newer template version and run one task to confirm it still works.

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.
