GoCD Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy GoCD hosting and run your delivery pipelines on a server you own. xCloud starts the official GoCD 26.1.0 server and a bundled Wolfi worker agent, both pinned by immutable digest, generates the administrator password and the agent auto-register key, mounts persistent volumes for server and agent data, and publishes GoCD over HTTPS at /go/ so jobs can run as soon as the server is ready.

What is GoCD?

GoCD is an open-source continuous delivery server. It lets you model pipelines with stages and jobs, run those jobs on registered agents, and track artifacts and dependencies from build through to deployment. It is licensed under Apache-2.0.

On xCloud it runs as the official server image plus one official Wolfi agent image on your own server, with HTTPS in front and the server and agent data on named volumes.

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

A GoCD setup normally means a server, an agent that registers with it, generated credentials, persistent storage, a domain and a certificate before the first pipeline. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick GoCD from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server; the administrator username is pre-filled as admin and the password is generated for you.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the GoCD server and one Wolfi agent on an internal compose network, mount the gocd_data and gocd_agent_data volumes, write the generated password and auto-register key to your protected site credentials, and publish the server over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In And Check The Agent
Once the server reports ready, open https://your-domain/go/ and sign in with the saved credentials. Confirm the bundled agent shows as Enabled and Idle under Agents, then set the site URL in Admin → Server Configuration and create your first pipeline.

Everything GoCD Does, On Your Own Server

GoCD runs in full here: a pipeline server and a worker agent on your own domain, with the data on volumes you control.

Pipeline Modelling
Model multi-stage delivery workflows with conditional steps, fan-out and fan-in, and promote artifacts from build through deployment.
Distributed Agents
One Wolfi agent is bundled and registers itself. Add more agents later on any machine using the auto-register key from your credentials.
Artifact Storage
Artifacts produced by your jobs are stored with the server on the persistent gocd_data volume.
Plugins For Other Sign-In Methods
Password-file authentication is configured at install. After first login you can add LDAP, OAuth, SAML or other authentication plugins from Admin → Plugins.
Environments And Resources
Group agents and pipelines into environments and tag agents with resources, so jobs land on the machines that can run them.
Private Agent Network
The agent talks to the server over the internal compose network with no published ports, and there is no Docker socket or privileged mode.

What You Can Do With GoCD

Run multi-stage release pipelines
Chain build, test and deploy stages with conditional steps and promote the same artifact through each one.
Coordinate fan-out and fan-in builds
Split work across parallel jobs and join the results before a release, using GoCD's dependency modelling.
Scale jobs across worker agents
Start with the bundled agent and register more machines later using the auto-register key as your workload grows.
Keep delivery history on your own server
Pipeline configuration, the database, artifacts, plugins and logs live on a volume you control instead of a third-party CI service.

GoCD vs Alternatives

Jenkins: Jenkins is a plugin-driven automation server for jobs and pipelines; GoCD models pipelines, dependencies and artifact promotion as core concepts.
GitHub Actions: GitHub Actions is a hosted workflow service tied to GitHub repositories; GoCD is a server you run yourself with your own agents.
GitLab CI/CD: GitLab CI/CD is built into the GitLab platform; GoCD is a standalone delivery server that works across your repositories and tools.
CircleCI: CircleCI is a hosted CI/CD service billed by usage; GoCD runs on a server you own, with the pipeline data on your own volumes.

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 GoCD best for?

Complex CD and CI pipelines with conditional steps, fan-out and fan-in, and artifact promotion. It suits teams managing multi-stage deployments, integration testing and release pipelines.

How do I sign in?

Open https://your-domain/go/ and use the administrator username and generated password saved in your protected site credentials. The username is pre-filled as admin at install.

Can I sign in via LDAP or OAuth?

GoCD supports multiple authentication plugins. Password-file authentication is configured at install; after first login you can install and enable LDAP, OAuth, SAML or other plugins from Admin → Plugins.

How do I run jobs on additional agents?

The bundled Wolfi agent auto-registers and is ready immediately. To add more agents outside this stack, take the auto-register key from your xCloud credentials and use it on any agent machine pointing at your GoCD server's HTTPS URL.

How do I rotate the admin password?

The password is written to the password file only on first boot, so changing ADMIN_PASSWORD in Environment later does not rotate the live login. Sign in as administrator, update the entry from Admin → Authorization Configuration, verify a fresh login, then discard the old xCloud credential.

What should I back up?

Both named volumes, together: gocd_data (config, database, artifacts, plugins, logs and security config) and gocd_agent_data (agent working data and registration state). Both hold security-sensitive data, so restore them together under the same Compose project to avoid orphaned agents.

Backups in xCloud

What survives a restart?

Data on gocd_data and gocd_agent_data, because they are persistent named volumes. QA confirmed the data was still present after an xCloud Restart.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update GoCD?

No. The template pins the server and agent images by immutable digest, so existing sites are not upgraded automatically. To upgrade, read the upstream release notes, bump both image tags and digests, then verify admin login, agent status and one pipeline run. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.

What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 6 GB?

The template's baseline asks for 2 CPU cores, 2048 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 1.3 GB across server and agent. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom for running jobs.

Where do I set the site URL and email?

After first login, open Admin → Server Configuration to set the site URL to your HTTPS address and, optionally, configure SMTP.

Is xCloud officially partnered with GoCD?

No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the GoCD project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source GoCD project.

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.
