Formbricks Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Formbricks hosting and run a self-hosted survey platform for link, website and in-app surveys on your own domain, with a no-code editor and templates. xCloud starts the pinned web app with PostgreSQL, Valkey, SpiceDB, Hub and Cube on a private network, generates every secret and publishes only the web app over HTTPS. Create the first account straight away, because it becomes the organization owner.

What is Formbricks?

Formbricks is a free and open-source surveying platform that upstream calls the open-source Qualtrics alternative, with a privacy-first approach to experience management. Its README lists a no-code survey editor with several question types, best-practice templates, targeting of survey groups without changing application code, shareable link surveys, collaboration for organisation members and integrations with Slack, Notion, Zapier and n8n. The core is AGPL-3.0. Self-hosted Formbricks is the option for teams that would otherwise rent survey software such as Qualtrics or SurveyMonkey.

On xCloud the template runs ghcr.io/formbricks/formbricks 6.0.2, pinned by digest, with PostgreSQL with pgvector, Valkey, SpiceDB, the Hub API and Cube analytics, none of them exposed. Code under the enterprise directory stays inactive without a licence key. No email or file storage is configured, and the first account becomes the owner.

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

A Formbricks stack normally means a web app, PostgreSQL, Valkey, SpiceDB, the Hub and Cube services, a set of secrets, volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first survey. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Formbricks from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in, because xCloud generates the credentials.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Formbricks image, pinned by immutable digest, with private PostgreSQL (pgvector), Valkey, SpiceDB, Formbricks Hub and Cube analytics services that have no public ports, mount the postgres_data and redis_data volumes, generate the secrets and publish the web app over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Create The Owner And A Survey
Open your HTTPS Formbricks URL right away and create the first account — it becomes the organization owner, and public sign-up then closes. Create your organization, then build and publish your first survey and share its link.

Everything Formbricks Does, On Your Own Server

Formbricks runs in full here: a survey builder and response viewer on your own domain, backed by a database you own.

Link, Website And In-App Surveys
Build link surveys, website surveys and in-app surveys, and share a survey by its public link.
No-Code Editor And Templates
Build surveys in the no-code editor with several question types, start from best-practice templates, and review answers in the Responses view.
Responses In Your Own PostgreSQL
Survey responses are stored in the PostgreSQL database that runs on your server, not in a third-party survey service.
Management API And Integrations
A management API and integrations are included in the web app.
Private Supporting Services
PostgreSQL, Valkey, SpiceDB, Formbricks Hub and Cube analytics run inside the install's private network with no public ports.
Owner-First Access
The first account becomes the organization owner and public sign-up then closes; others join by invitation.

Formbricks vs Alternatives

Qualtrics: Upstream positions Formbricks as the open-source Qualtrics alternative. On xCloud it runs on your own Cloud VPS with your responses in PostgreSQL, but Enterprise-licensed features are not included.
SurveyMonkey: If you collect responses with SurveyMonkey, Formbricks offers link, website and in-app surveys from a platform you host, with email and file storage left for you to configure.
LimeSurvey: LimeSurvey has its own xCloud page and is another open-source survey tool. Compare the two templates for question types, services and sizing before choosing.
OpnForm: OpnForm has its own xCloud page and builds forms and surveys. Formbricks targets website and in-app surveys at chosen user groups and runs six services together, so compare sizing too.

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.

What is Formbricks used for?

Formbricks is used to collect feedback and run surveys. You build a survey in the no-code editor, share it as a link or show it inside a website or app to chosen user groups, and review the responses. Integrations pass results on to tools such as Slack, Notion, Zapier and n8n.

Is Formbricks free and open source?

The Formbricks core is open source under AGPL-3.0, so using this template has no licence fee. The image also contains code under Formbricks' separate Enterprise licence that stays inactive without a key, and the template never asks for one. xCloud bills for the Cloud VPS and the deployment; upstream also runs its own hosted cloud.

Can you self-host Formbricks with Docker?

Yes. For Formbricks Docker hosting the template runs the official 6.0.2 image with a private PostgreSQL with pgvector, Valkey, SpiceDB, the Hub API and Cube analytics, all on a private network, and publishes only the web app over HTTPS. It generates the secrets and keys, so you do not write the compose file.

How much RAM does Formbricks need?

The manifest floor for Formbricks is 2048 MB of RAM, two cores and 10 GB of disk, because six services run together. The 6 GB plan offered here is comfortable for a team. Response volume and file storage, if you add S3, are what grow with use.

Who becomes the Formbricks organization owner?

The first person to create an account. Open your domain straight after install and sign up; that account becomes the organization owner, and once an account exists public sign-up closes and further users join by invitation. Do this before sharing the address with anyone.

Does self-hosted Formbricks send email?

Not out of the box. No mail server is configured, so sign-up needs no email confirmation, password reset by email is off and invitations are not emailed; copy the invite link instead. To enable mail, add the sender and SMTP settings in the Environment editor and redeploy.

Does self-hosted Formbricks support file uploads?

Only if you add storage. File-upload questions and image uploads store files in S3-compatible storage, which the template does not bundle. Add the S3 access key, secret, region and bucket settings in the Environment editor, plus an endpoint URL for non-AWS providers, then redeploy.

How do I back up Formbricks?

Back up the postgres_data and redis_data volumes together with the NEXTAUTH_SECRET and ENCRYPTION_KEY values. Both databases, formbricks and spicedb, live in the same PostgreSQL, so one dump per database covers them. Keep copies off-server, test a restore, and back up your S3 bucket separately if you use one.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Formbricks?

Version 6.0.2 stays fixed by digest, so a template refresh does not alter an install that is already running. Back up the volumes, read the upstream release notes, and select a later template version. If the app reports permission errors after the whole stack restarts, give SpiceDB a minute to come up.

Are Enterprise features included?

No. Teams and roles, single sign-on, segments, dashboards and the feedback inbox sit under Formbricks' separate Enterprise licence and stay inactive without a key. This template does not ask for one, so treat those as unavailable and check Formbricks' own licence terms before enabling anything.

Can I run Formbricks in the cloud on xCloud?

Yes. Formbricks cloud use means a dedicated Cloud VPS holding the app and its five supporting services, reachable on your domain over HTTPS. Prefer a server from another provider? Enrol it as self-managed. Allow time for the first start while migrations run.

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.
