What is Invoice Builder?

Invoice Builder is an offline-first, open-source invoicing and quoting application for freelancers and small businesses. It creates invoices and quotes with live PDF preview, manages clients, items and currencies, and exports invoices as UBL, Peppol BIS Billing or XRechnung XML. Run on your own server it is a self-hosted Invoice Builder, an alternative to a hosted accounting service such as FreshBooks or QuickBooks, with the code under the MIT licence and your records in database files you own.

On xCloud it is an xCloud multi-architecture rebuild of upstream 3.1.2, pinned by digest, behind a Caddy gateway with HTTP Basic Authentication. The app has no accounts or roles of its own. Your SQLite database files live on the invoice_builder_data volume, and no PostgreSQL server is included. xCloud gives no legal or tax-compliance guarantee for the e-invoice files.

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

An Invoice Builder setup normally means the app container, a gateway to keep strangers out, a data volume, a domain and a certificate before the first invoice. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Invoice Builder from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and target server and set the admin username; the password is generated for you.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start the Invoice Builder 3.1.2 image and a Caddy gateway, both pinned by digest, mount invoice_builder_data and publish it over HTTPS. It is usually ready in about 30 seconds.
Step 03
Sign In And Create A Database
Sign in with the Basic Authentication login from the credentials. On the start screen create a new SQLite database file, which is stored on the volume, then add a business, a client and your first invoice.

Everything Invoice Builder Does, On Your Own Server

Invoice Builder 3.1.2 runs here with invoices, quotes and PDF export, on a volume you own.

Invoices And Quotes
Create and manage invoices and quotations with a live PDF preview in A4 or Letter and a visual layout builder.

Clients, Items And Currencies

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.

Can I run Invoice Builder in Docker?

Yes, and this template is Invoice Builder Docker hosting without the setup: an xCloud multi-architecture rebuild of upstream 3.1.2 and a Caddy gateway, both pinned by digest, with a data volume and HTTPS on your own domain.

How much RAM does Invoice Builder need?

The template minimum is 64 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 1 GB of disk. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with ample headroom above that baseline, since there is no database server to run beside it.

How do I sign in to Invoice Builder after installing?

Sign in with the HTTP Basic username you chose and the generated password from the credentials. The app has no accounts of its own, so this gateway login is the only lock. Then create a SQLite database from the start screen.

Does Invoice Builder have user accounts?

No. Invoice Builder has no accounts or roles, so access is one shared Basic Authentication login. Anyone with those credentials can read and change all invoice data, so share them only with people you trust.

Can Invoice Builder export e-invoices?

Upstream exports invoices as UBL and Peppol BIS Billing or XRechnung XML. xCloud gives no legal or tax-compliance guarantee for those files, so check the output against your own country's rules before relying on it.

Where does Invoice Builder store my data?

In SQLite database files on the invoice_builder_data volume. Upstream can also use an external PostgreSQL server, but this template does not include one. Request bodies are limited to 50 MB because logos are sent as base64 images.

Is Invoice Builder free?

Yes. Invoice Builder is released under the MIT licence, so there is no fee for the software itself. You are billed for the dedicated Cloud VPS holding your invoice databases, an Invoice Builder cloud of your own.

How do I back up Invoice Builder?

Back up the invoice_builder_data volume, which holds your database files. The app also offers its own full database backup and restore and JSON export. Nothing schedules a copy, so run it yourself and keep one off the server.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Invoice Builder?

The install stays on its pinned 3.1.2 image until you adopt a newer template version. Back up every database first and read the upstream upgrade notices, since a release can change the schema. Nothing upgrades automatically.

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.
