InsForge Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

InsForge hosting on xCloud gives your project a self-hosted backend platform with a Postgres database, REST API, authentication, file storage and edge functions behind one admin dashboard. Deploy InsForge from the OneClick catalog and xCloud starts the pinned v2.3.4 images with private PostgreSQL, PostgREST and a Deno functions runtime, generates the keys and admin login, mounts four volumes and publishes it over HTTPS. AI agents connect through MCP.

What is InsForge?

InsForge is, in its README's words, the all-in-one, open-source backend platform for agentic coding. The template README describes a Postgres database, an auto-generated REST API through PostgREST, authentication, file storage, realtime and Deno edge functions behind one admin dashboard, and calls it a Supabase alternative. Self-hosted InsForge is a backend you run yourself instead of the hosted InsForge Cloud. It is licensed under Apache-2.0.

On xCloud this template deploys InsForge v2.3.4 with its own PostgreSQL image, PostgREST and a Deno functions runtime, all pinned by digest. The database sits on insforge_postgres_data and uploads on insforge_storage. The root admin is the only dashboard login, the InsForge CLI and Skills work only with InsForge Cloud, and running your own containers is disabled because it would need the Docker socket.

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

An InsForge stack normally means four containers, a database, generated secrets, an API key and an anon key, four volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first table. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick InsForge from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then enter the Admin Login email — leave Admin Password empty to have xCloud generate one.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the upstream InsForge v2.3.4 images, pinned by immutable digest, with PostgreSQL, PostgREST and a Deno edge-functions runtime kept private, mount the Postgres, storage, logs and functions-cache volumes, generate the admin password, API key and anon key, and publish the dashboard and API over HTTPS.
Step 03
Sign In And Connect
Open your domain and sign in with the root admin login and generated password from the credentials panel. Create your first table, or open the Connect page to link your AI coding agent over MCP.

Everything InsForge Does, On Your Own Server

InsForge runs in full here: the admin dashboard, Postgres, auto-generated REST, auth, storage and edge functions, over a database you own.

Full Backend In One Install
Postgres, an auto-generated REST API via PostgREST, authentication, file storage and Deno edge functions, all behind one dashboard.
Built For AI Coding Agents
Connect through MCP using the command pre-filled on the dashboard's Connect page, so agents can read and write your backend directly.
Tables, Buckets And Functions
Create tables, manage storage buckets, deploy edge functions and review auth settings from one admin dashboard.
Generated Per-Install Secrets
Admin login, API key and anon key are generated per install; use the anon key in client apps and keep the API key for servers and agents only.
Postgres, PostgREST And Deno Included
All three stay private to the server; only the dashboard and API on container port 7130 are published through xCloud-managed HTTPS.
A Self-Hosted Supabase Alternative
Suitable for prototypes, internal tools and agent-built full-stack apps that need a self-hosted Supabase-style backend.

What You Can Do With InsForge

Give a new app a ready backend
You start a project with a database, auth, file storage and an API already running, instead of wiring each service by hand.
Let an AI agent build the backend
A coding agent connects through MCP using the command on the dashboard's Connect page and creates tables and functions.
Serve a REST API from Postgres
PostgREST exposes your tables as a REST API, with the anon key for client apps and the API key kept on the server.
Keep app data on your own server
A team that does not want its users and files in a hosted backend keeps them in volumes on a server it rents.

InsForge vs Alternatives

Supabase: Supabase has its own OneClick page. The InsForge template README calls InsForge a Supabase alternative: Postgres, a PostgREST API, auth, storage, realtime and edge functions, built for agentic coding. This page makes no feature-parity claim.
Firebase: If you are weighing Firebase, InsForge is a backend built on Postgres that runs on a server you rent, with your database and uploaded files on your own volumes.
PocketBase: PocketBase is a separate backend with its own OneClick page. InsForge runs as several services: its app, its own PostgreSQL image, PostgREST and a Deno functions runtime.
Appwrite: Appwrite is a separate self-hosted backend platform, named here from general knowledge. Compare its services and SDKs with InsForge's before choosing.

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 InsForge free?

Yes. InsForge is open source under Apache-2.0, and you can read the licence at the pinned v2.3.4 tag linked on this page. xCloud bills for the Cloud VPS under it, not for InsForge, and there is no per-request fee. The project also runs a hosted InsForge Cloud, which is separate from this install.

Can you self-host InsForge with Docker?

Yes, and this InsForge Docker hosting template does it for you: the upstream InsForge, InsForge Postgres, PostgREST and Deno images, pinned by digest, run together on your own server with HTTPS in front of port 7130. It is not an InsForge cloud account, so data stays with you.

How much RAM does InsForge need?

The template manifest asks for 1024 MB of RAM and 2 CPU cores as a floor for the app, PostgreSQL, PostgREST and the Deno runtime together. The first start runs migrations and takes a few minutes. The 6 GB tier sold here leaves room to spare.

How do I sign in to InsForge?

Use the admin login and generated admin password from the credentials panel. This root admin account is the only dashboard login. Use the Anon Key in client apps and the API Key only from your server or agent, and keep the API Key secret.

Do the InsForge CLI and Skills work on a self-hosted install?

No. They only work with InsForge Cloud, not self-hosted installs. For a self-hosted instance, connect your AI coding agent through MCP, using the exact command on the dashboard's Connect page, which is pre-filled with this site's URL and API key.

Can I run my own containers alongside InsForge?

No. The optional compute provider that runs your own containers is disabled because it would need the Docker socket, which this template does not expose. Edge functions run in the bundled Deno runtime instead. Run other services as separate apps on the same server.

What runs alongside the InsForge dashboard?

A private PostgreSQL image, PostgREST that turns tables into a REST API, and a Deno runtime for edge functions. None is published to the internet. JWT_SECRET, ENCRYPTION_KEY and POSTGRES_PASSWORD are generated and must not change after first boot.

Does InsForge send email or use AI features here?

Not unless you configure them. An OpenRouter key for AI features, OAuth providers, S3-compatible storage and Stripe are optional and set later in the environment editor, and none is needed for the database, REST API, auth, storage and functions. Telemetry is disabled.

How do I back up InsForge?

Back up insforge_postgres_data, which holds the database, and insforge_storage, which holds uploaded files, together, and keep the generated secrets with them. The logs and Deno cache volumes are disposable. Test a restore on a disposable install before relying on it.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade InsForge?

Pinned v2.3.4 remains in place on a live install, with any newer template version adopted only by you. Back up both data volumes first and read the upstream release notes, since migrations run on start. Then sign in and check a table and a function still work.

Is InsForge an alternative to Supabase?

The template README calls it an open-source Supabase alternative, with Postgres, a REST API, auth, storage, realtime and edge functions, built around AI coding agents. Supabase has its own OneClick page. This page makes no feature-parity claim, so test the services your app needs.

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.
