FUXA Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy FUXA hosting and run a self-hosted SCADA platform where you build industrial dashboards and process views in the browser. xCloud starts the pinned FUXA 1.3.4 image with authentication switched on, generates the admin password and the signing secret, keeps your project on persistent volumes and serves the editor over HTTPS on your domain. Sign in as admin and start a project.

What is FUXA?

FUXA is a web-based SCADA and HMI platform for industrial automation, IoT and process visualization, released under the MIT licence. Upstream describes a browser editor for building dashboards and process views, a built-in data historian, and connectors for protocols such as Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT and BACnet IP. Self-hosted FUXA suits teams that would otherwise license a commercial SCADA suite such as Ignition just to draw and monitor machine views.

On xCloud the template runs the official standard FUXA 1.3.4 image, pinned by digest, as one container with authentication enabled and eight named volumes for settings, databases, logs, images, reports, widgets, packages and webcam snapshots. The Siemens S7 Snap7 build is not used, and the Node-RED instance inside the image is left disabled. The container sits on an isolated network, so it cannot reach PLCs on your own LAN unless you add that route yourself.

From Sign-Up to Your First FUXA View In Just 3 Easy Steps

A web SCADA server normally means a container, a users database, TLS and persistent storage before you can draw a single view. This is the same starting point without the assembly.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account, pick FUXA from the OneClick catalog and choose a domain. No other fields are needed.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    xCloud starts the pinned FUXA 1.3.4 image, generates the admin password, mounts persistent volumes and serves HTTPS.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Build

    Sign in as admin, change the password from the user menu, then create a project and add your first view.

Everything FUXA Does, On Your Own Server

FUXA runs here with its browser editor, runtime and device connections, on infrastructure you control. Node-RED stays disabled and the Siemens S7 Snap7 build is not used.

  • Browser-Based Editor

    Design industrial dashboards and process views entirely in the browser, with no desktop client to install or keep updated.

  • Device Protocols And Historian

    Upstream lists Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT and BACnet IP device protocols, plus a built-in data historian for recording your tags.

  • Sign-In Enforced From Boot

    Editing requires sign-in, and the upstream default password 123456 is rejected in this deployment from the first boot.

  • Live Updates Over HTTPS

    Live updates work through HTTPS, because socket.io upgrades to a real WebSocket through the xCloud proxy.

  • Light On Resources

    Measured at 54 to 66 MiB during our QA runs, far below the 256 MB baseline, so the server keeps room for other work.

  • Projects Survive Restarts

    Project, devices, tags, views and users kept working through a container restart in QA, and the generated password still signed in.

Everything You Need To Run Your SCADA Hosting, Set Up

xCloud runs the server and the stack under FUXA. You own your projects, your devices and your user accounts.

  • FUXA 1.3.4 deployed
  • Pinned image digests
  • Admin password generated for you
  • Sign-in required to edit
  • Free SSL certificate
  • Server backups and snapshots
  • Server security updates included
  • 30+ server locations
  • Unused balance refunded

What You Can Do With FUXA

  • Draw live views of your machines

    Build process views and dashboards in the browser editor and show real-time values from connected devices.

  • Keep a history of measured values

    Store readings in the built-in historian, with SQLite and other time-series databases listed by upstream.

  • Connect devices over standard protocols

    Bring in data over Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT or BACnet IP, wherever the server can reach the device.

  • Give operators a shared screen

    Serve dashboards to a team over HTTPS, with sign-in required to edit and an admin account to manage users. Signed-out visitors can still open the runtime viewer.

FUXA vs Alternatives

Ignition
If you pay for a commercial SCADA suite such as Ignition, FUXA is the open-source, browser-only route: you design and run the screens yourself on one server.
Node-RED
Node-RED has its own xCloud page and wires flows together. FUXA is the editor for operator-facing dashboards, and its image includes a Node-RED instance that this template leaves disabled.
SCADA-LTS
SCADA-LTS has its own xCloud page. FUXA is the other open-source SCADA option here, built on Node.js and Angular with a browser editor.
Grafana
Grafana has its own xCloud page. Choose FUXA when you want an HMI-style editor with device connectors and a historian in one install.

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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is FUXA used for?

FUXA is used to build and run web dashboards for machines and processes. In the browser editor you create a project, add devices, and draw views that show live values. Upstream lists a data historian and connectors for Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT and BACnet IP among its features.

Is FUXA free and open source?

The software is open source under the MIT licence, so the platform has no licence fee. The xCloud charge is for the dedicated Cloud VPS and the deployment. The industrial equipment and any external databases you connect to FUXA are separate and billed by whoever supplies them.

Can you self-host FUXA with Docker?

Yes. For FUXA Docker hosting the template runs the official frangoteam/fuxa 1.3.4 image, pinned by digest, as one container for HTTP and Socket.IO on port 1881. It is bound to localhost and published over HTTPS on your domain by the xCloud nginx proxy.

How much RAM does FUXA need?

The manifest asks for 256 MB of RAM, one CPU core and 4 GB of disk. Project size, historian data and image libraries all add to disk and memory use. The 6 GB plan on this page leaves wide headroom above that floor for growth.

How do I sign in to FUXA?

Open your HTTPS domain and sign in as admin with the generated password on your credentials panel; the upstream default is not used. First boot can take about a minute. The password is applied only when the users database is first created, so rotate it later from FUXA's user settings instead.

Can FUXA on xCloud reach PLCs on my local network?

Not by default. The container uses an isolated bridge network, and host networking is not used, so plant-floor PLCs on your own LAN are not reachable unless you arrange that route outside this template. Devices reachable over the network from the server itself are a separate matter.

How do I back up FUXA?

Back up all eight named volumes together after stopping the container: fuxa_appdata, fuxa_db, fuxa_logs, fuxa_images, fuxa_reports, fuxa_widgets, fuxa_pkg and fuxa_webcam. The appdata volume holds settings, the users database and uploads. Test a restore before you rely on it.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade FUXA?

Version 1.3.4 is pinned together with its digest, so a catalog update applies to new installs only. Back up every volume first, read the upstream release notes, and then adopt a newer template version when you choose. Changing the signing secret and redeploying signs every user out.

Which industrial protocols does FUXA support?

Upstream lists Modbus RTU and TCP, OPC-UA, MQTT, BACnet IP, Ethernet/IP, ODBC, MELSEC and Redis, among others. This template uses the standard image, so the Siemens S7 Snap7 build is excluded. Reaching a device still depends on the server having a network route to it.

Can I run FUXA in the cloud on xCloud?

Yes. FUXA cloud use places the editor and runtime on a dedicated Cloud VPS with a domain and certificate in front. Uploads of JSON and base64 are limited to 100 MB, matching the proxy. A server hosted elsewhere can instead be enrolled as self-managed.

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.
