GreptimeDB Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

GreptimeDB hosting on xCloud gives you a self-hosted observability database on your own domain. Deploy GreptimeDB and xCloud runs the pinned image as a single container, generates a 32-character password that protects the HTTP API, gRPC, MySQL and PostgreSQL endpoints, keeps tables and the write-ahead log on a persistent volume, and publishes the dashboard over HTTPS, so metrics, logs and traces share one database in minutes.

What is GreptimeDB?

Self-hosted GreptimeDB is an open-source observability database for metrics, logs and traces. Upstream describes one database replacing Prometheus, Loki and Elasticsearch, queried with SQL or PromQL, with OpenTelemetry as its unified backend. You reach it through its HTTP API, a built-in web dashboard, or the MySQL, PostgreSQL and gRPC protocols. It is licensed under Apache-2.0, and it is a self-hosted option beside hosted observability services such as Datadog.

On xCloud the template runs greptime/greptimedb v1.2.1 in standalone mode as a single container, pinned by digest. The greptimedb_data volume holds the write-ahead log, tables and metadata. One generated login protects the HTTP API, gRPC, MySQL and PostgreSQL endpoints, and the dashboard is served over HTTPS. The gRPC, MySQL and PostgreSQL ports are public TCP ports that you firewall yourself.

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

A GreptimeDB install normally means a container, a data volume, authentication wired into four protocols, a domain and a certificate before the first query. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick GreptimeDB from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server and set the Admin Username (default greptime).
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official GreptimeDB image, pinned by immutable digest, as a single container with no other services, generate a 32-character password, mount the greptimedb_data volume and publish the HTTP API and dashboard over HTTPS.
Step 03
Open The Dashboard
Save the generated password from the protected installation credentials, open your HTTPS URL at /dashboard/ and sign in. Then create a table, or point a client at the HTTP, MySQL, PostgreSQL or gRPC endpoint.

A Prometheus And Loki Alternative: Everything GreptimeDB Does

GreptimeDB runs in full here: one database for observability data, with a login that covers every endpoint and a volume you own.

Metrics, Logs And Traces Together
Store all three kinds of observability data in one database and query them with SQL or PromQL.
Built-In Web Dashboard
The dashboard is served over xCloud-managed HTTPS on your domain; its API calls require the login.
Connect Existing Clients
Use the MySQL, PostgreSQL or gRPC protocols, or ingest over HTTP with Prometheus remote write, InfluxDB line protocol, OTLP or Loki.
One Login For Every Endpoint
A single generated login protects the HTTP API, gRPC, MySQL and PostgreSQL, and a request without it or with a wrong password is rejected.
Persistent Storage
Tables, the write-ahead log and metadata live on the greptimedb_data volume, so written data persists across container restarts.
Optional Object Storage
Switch the storage backend to an object store with the GREPTIMEDB_STANDALONE__STORAGE__ settings in the Environment editor.

Store time-series tables on a persistent volume and read them back with SQL.

GreptimeDB vs Alternatives

Datadog: Datadog is a hosted observability service. As a GreptimeDB alternative to Datadog, you run the database yourself on a Cloud VPS and keep the data on a volume you control, with one login for every endpoint.
VictoriaMetrics: VictoriaMetrics is a time-series database for metrics with its own OneClick page. GreptimeDB vs VictoriaMetrics: GreptimeDB stores logs and traces beside metrics and accepts SQL as well as PromQL.
Prometheus: Prometheus stores metrics and is queried with PromQL; GreptimeDB also accepts Prometheus remote write and adds logs and traces plus SQL in the same database.
InfluxDB: InfluxDB is a time-series database with its own line protocol; GreptimeDB accepts InfluxDB line protocol and can also be queried over MySQL and PostgreSQL clients.
Grafana Loki: Loki is a log store; GreptimeDB can ingest Loki-format logs alongside metrics and traces in one database.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is GreptimeDB free and open source?

Yes. GreptimeDB is Apache-2.0 licensed, so you can inspect and run the code freely. xCloud bills the dedicated Cloud VPS and nothing for the database itself. The template runs the standalone single-node build and adds no paid tier, cluster mode or hosted-only feature.

Can I run GreptimeDB with Docker?

Yes, and this template is GreptimeDB Docker hosting without the assembly. It starts the greptime/greptimedb v1.2.1 image, pinned by digest, in standalone mode as one container, proxies port 4000 behind HTTPS and mounts the greptimedb_data volume for the write-ahead log and tables.

How much RAM does GreptimeDB need?

The manifest floor is 1 GB of RAM, one core and 10 GB of disk for the standalone node. A GreptimeDB cloud install on this page's 6 GB Cloud VPS leaves headroom above it. Ingest rate, retention and query load decide what a single node really needs.

Does GreptimeDB support PromQL?

Yes. Upstream says you can query metrics with PromQL as well as SQL, and the template README lists PromQL and Prometheus remote write on the HTTP port. Point a Prometheus server at the remote write endpoint, then query through the HTTP API with your login.

Can GreptimeDB receive OpenTelemetry data?

Yes. The template README lists OTLP over HTTP on port 4000 and OTLP over gRPC on port 4001, plus InfluxDB line protocol and Loki ingest. Every endpoint needs the generated login, so configure your collector with that username and password before sending data.

Which ports does GreptimeDB expose?

The dashboard and HTTP API on port 4000 sit behind HTTPS on your domain. The gRPC, MySQL and PostgreSQL ports, 4001 to 4003, are public TCP ports on the server. xCloud does not open your firewall and their traffic is not encrypted, so restrict them by source address.

How do I sign in to GreptimeDB?

Use the username you chose at install, greptime by default, and the generated password from the installation credentials. The same pair works on the dashboard and on every client. Editing the values and redeploying changes the login for all four protocols together, so update every client at once.

How do I back up GreptimeDB?

Back up the greptimedb_data volume, which holds the write-ahead log, tables, metadata and the telemetry id. Stop the container before copying it so the files agree, or move storage to an object store with the storage settings. Restore the whole volume together and test it first.

Backups in xCloud

How do I update GreptimeDB?

Your install stays on its pinned v1.2.1 version until you adopt a newer template version. Back up the greptimedb_data volume first and read the upstream release notes. After the update, sign in, run a query against existing tables and confirm your collectors still write.

Is telemetry sent to GreptimeDB's maintainers?

Upstream enables anonymous usage telemetry by default. The template notes how to turn it off: set the standalone enable-telemetry variable to false in the environment file and redeploy. Check your own policy on outbound traffic before you leave it on.

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.
