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

Self-hosting a gamified habit tracker normally means a container, a gateway password, a domain and a certificate before you can log a single habit. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick HabitTrove from the OneClick catalog. Keep or change the Admin Username — xCloud generates the Admin Password.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the pinned HabitTrove 0.2.31 image behind a Caddy gateway, create the HabitTrove administrator account from your credentials, mount the persistent data and backups volumes, and publish it over HTTPS.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Create A Habit

    Open the HTTPS HabitTrove URL and enter the gateway credentials in the browser prompt. Pick the same username in HabitTrove's Select User dialog, enter the same password, then create your first habit with a coin reward and add rewards to the wishlist.

Everything HabitTrove Does, On Your Own Server

HabitTrove runs in full here — the same gamified habit tracking as any self-hosted install, on infrastructure you control.

  • Habits That Earn Coins

    Build habits through a game: each habit has a coin reward, and completions add to your balance.

  • Wishlist Of Rewards

    Motivate yourself or your family with a wishlist of rewards that are redeemed with earned coins.

  • Streaks And Statistics

    See streaks and completion statistics on the dashboard and calendar.

  • Install As A PWA

    Use it on any device: HabitTrove is a Progressive Web App with dark mode and nine interface languages.

  • Household Users

    Add people with Add User in the Select User dialog — everyone first passes the same gateway password.

  • Data That Survives Restarts

    Habits, users, coins, wishlists and avatars are kept on persistent volumes, confirmed intact after an xCloud restart in QA.

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!

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.

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 makes HabitTrove different from a to-do list?

Habits earn coins, and you redeem the coins for rewards you define, which turns habit building into a game. This template deploys version 0.2.31.

How do I sign in?

Your browser first asks for the admin username and password from your installation credentials. HabitTrove then asks you to pick a user: choose the same username and enter the same password.

Can my family use it too?

Yes. Add people with Add User in the Select User dialog. Everyone first passes the same gateway password, so only share it with people you trust — HabitTrove's in-app users organise ownership, but are not a security boundary.

What runs alongside HabitTrove?

Only a small Caddy gateway that enforces the password and forwards traffic to the app. There is no database server, because HabitTrove stores its data as files.

What should I back up?

Both volumes, habittrove_data and habittrove_backups. HabitTrove also makes its own daily backups into the second one; keep the generated AUTH_SECRET stable alongside them.

How do I rotate the password?

Change it in the environment and restart — that updates the gateway. Also change the administrator password inside HabitTrove itself (profile menu → Edit profile), since the two are not kept in sync automatically.

Is there a password length limit?

Yes. HabitTrove passwords are limited to 32 characters.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 1024 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 5 GB of disk as a floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier, comfortable headroom above that floor.

Does xCloud automatically update HabitTrove?

No. Read the upstream release notes first, then the readable tag and the digest are bumped together. Catalog updates affect new installations only.

Is xCloud officially partnered with HabitTrove?

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

Can I run other apps on the same server?

Yes. It is a dedicated Cloud VPS, not a locked appliance, so you can deploy other OneClick apps or your own sites beside it as long as the resources are there.

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.
