Huly Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Huly hosting and give your team a self-hosted project management platform for issues, planning, documents, chat and CRM. xCloud runs Huly v0.7.242 with its database, message queue, object storage and search index on a private network, generates the credentials, keeps data on five persistent volumes and publishes the workspace over HTTPS. Upstream calls Huly resource-heavy, so this page sells the larger server.

What is Huly?

Self-hosted Huly is an open-source all-in-one project management platform. A single workspace holds issue tracking, planning, documents, team chat and a CRM, so a small team does not have to stitch several tools together. It is licensed under the Eclipse Public License 2.0 and stands in for a hosted tracker such as Jira. The upstream self-hosting guide deploys it with docker compose and warns that it is quite resource-heavy.

On xCloud the template runs the Huly v0.7.242 images with CockroachDB, Redpanda, MinIO and Elasticsearch on a private network, all pinned by immutable digest, with five persistent volumes. HTTPS is published on your domain. Sign-up is open until you close it, no email service is bundled, and video calls and the Google Calendar, GitHub and Telegram integrations are not included.

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

A Huly install normally means thirteen containers, a database, a queue, object storage, a search index, a proxy, signing secrets, a domain and a certificate before the first issue can be filed. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Huly from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and server. There are no extra fields; xCloud generates the database, storage, queue and signing credentials.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the Huly stack with CockroachDB, Redpanda, MinIO and Elasticsearch on the private network, mount the huly_cr_data, huly_cr_certs, huly_files, huly_redpanda and huly_elastic volumes, and publish the bundled proxy over HTTPS.
Step 03
Sign Up In Huly And Create A Workspace
Allow 5 to 10 minutes for the first start, while database setup and the Elasticsearch plugin download run. Open the HTTPS URL, sign up with your email and password, create your first workspace, then set DISABLE_SIGNUP=true and redeploy so new users join by invite link only.

Huly vs Alternatives

Jira: As a huly alternative to jira, Huly keeps issue tracking, planning, documents, chat and CRM in one self-hosted workspace, on a server you own.
Plane: Plane has its own xCloud template. In a huly vs plane choice, Huly puts issue tracking, planning, documents, team chat and a CRM in one workspace.
OpenProject: OpenProject has its own xCloud template. In a huly vs openproject comparison, Huly puts issues, documents and chat in one workspace, with several workspaces per install.
Leantime: Leantime has its own xCloud template. Huly is an all-in-one platform that upstream calls resource-heavy, so this template asks for 6 GB of RAM.

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.

How much RAM does Huly need?

The manifest asks for 2 CPU cores, 6144 MB of RAM and 20 GB of disk, and QA measured about 4.2 GiB across the stack. Because that floor is above 4 GB, this page sells the 16 GB Cloud VPS tier as the entry rung.

Is Huly free and open source?

Yes. Huly is licensed under the Eclipse Public License 2.0, per the LICENSE file at the v0.7.242 tag, so no licence is bought separately; xCloud bills the dedicated Cloud VPS, and your workspace data stays on your own volumes.

Can you run Huly with Docker?

Yes, and this is Huly Docker hosting prepared for you: the template runs 13 containers, including CockroachDB, Redpanda, MinIO and Elasticsearch, all pinned by immutable digest, behind HTTPS on your domain, so it works as Huly cloud hosting on your own VPS.

What is the difference between Huly and Plane?

Huly bundles issue tracking, planning, documents, team chat and a CRM in one workspace, and each user can create several workspaces under one install. Its template asks for 2 CPU cores and 6 GB of RAM. Plane has its own xCloud page, so compare the two there against what your team needs.

Plane hosting

How do I sign in to Huly the first time?

Open your Huly URL and sign up with an email and password right away; creating the first workspace makes you its owner. The first start downloads a search plugin and sets up the database, so allow five to ten minutes before the page loads.

Can I stop strangers from creating Huly accounts?

Yes. After your own account exists, set DISABLE_SIGNUP to true in the Environment editor and redeploy, so people join only through workspace invite links. The template does not enable Basic Auth; add access control at your own reverse proxy if you need it.

Does Huly send emails?

No email service is bundled. Accounts are confirmed automatically and invitations must be shared by hand. You can point MAIL_URL at a separately hosted Huly mail service if you run one, and test an invitation after saving.

What is not included in the Huly template?

Video and audio calls, email, and the Google Calendar, GitHub and Telegram integrations are not included. The template covers the core workspace: issues, planning, documents, chat and CRM, so check that this covers what your team needs first.

Why does the first Huly start need internet access?

The first start downloads the Elasticsearch plugin and needs outbound HTTPS to artifacts.elastic.co. Without it the search index will not come up, so make sure your server can make outbound connections before you deploy, and expect the first start to take a few minutes.

What should I back up on a Huly server?

All five volumes together with the stack stopped: huly_cr_data for accounts and workspace data, huly_files for uploads, huly_cr_certs, huly_redpanda and huly_elastic. The search index can be rebuilt, but the first two cannot. Test a restore.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Huly?

Nothing upgrades it for you: the install stays on pinned release v0.7.242 until you adopt a newer template version. Back up all five volumes first, skim the upstream release notes, then check sign-in and an existing issue afterwards. Keep SECRET stable.

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.
