What is It's MyTabs?

It's MyTabs is an open-source, web-based guitar and bass tab viewer and player that upstream describes as similar to Songsterr. It plays Guitar Pro, MusicXML and Capella tabs, syncs them to audio files or YouTube videos, offers MIDI playback with track mute and solo, and shares tabs by link. Run on your own server it is a self-hosted It's MyTabs, an alternative to a hosted tab site such as Songsterr or Ultimate Guitar, with the code under the MIT licence.

On xCloud it is the upstream louislam/its-mytabs 1.7.0 image, pinned by digest, with its SQLite database, uploads and generated session secret on the mytabs_data volume. There is no preset account: the first sign-up becomes the only user and registration then closes. Optional stem separation downloads about 230 MB of files on first use and needs outbound internet access.

    Sign Up

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    Open your URL and register at once. The first sign-up becomes the only user and registration then closes, but until you register anyone who reaches the address could claim it. Then upload a tab.

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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Can I run It's MyTabs in Docker?

Yes, and this template is It's MyTabs Docker hosting without the setup: the upstream louislam/its-mytabs 1.7.0 image pinned by digest, with a persistent data volume and HTTPS on your own domain. The image runs on amd64 and arm64.

How much RAM does It's MyTabs need?

The template minimum is 2048 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 10 GB of disk, kept for the optional stem separation, which uses noticeably more memory. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung.

How do I create the first It's MyTabs account?

Open your URL and register right away. There is no preset account, the first sign-up creates the only user, and registration is closed afterwards. Until someone registers, anyone who reaches the address can claim the instance.

Can anyone register on my It's MyTabs?

Only the first person. After that registration is closed, and every page and API call needs the login, except tabs you mark public. The app has no per-user roles, so the single account can see and change everything.

Which tab formats does It's MyTabs support?

Upstream lists Guitar Pro formats .gp, .gpx, .gp3, .gp4 and .gp5, plus .musicxml and .capx. You can sync a tab with .mp3 or .ogg files or a YouTube video, and uploads through the proxy are limited to 100 MB.

What is stem separation in It's MyTabs?

An optional feature that splits audio into parts. The first time you use it, about 230 MB of runtime and model files download into the data volume, so the server needs outbound internet and free disk space, and memory use rises.

Is It's MyTabs free?

Yes. It's MyTabs is released under the MIT licence, so there is no fee for the software. Your spend is the dedicated Cloud VPS holding your tabs and audio, an It's MyTabs cloud of your own.

How do I back up It's MyTabs?

Back up the mytabs_data volume, which holds the database, session secret and every uploaded file, and restore it as one unit while the container is stopped. Protect the backups, since they include the password hash. Nothing schedules this.

How do I upgrade It's MyTabs?

The install stays on its pinned 1.7.0 image until you adopt a newer template version. Back up the data volume first and read the upstream release notes. Nothing upgrades automatically, and a redeploy keeps the volume.

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.
