Jean Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Jean hosting and run AI coding agents from your browser against repositories that live on your own server. xCloud runs the pinned Jean v1.0.12 container, generates the access token, mounts the persistent jean_home volume and publishes the interface, API and WebSocket over HTTPS in minutes — bring your own AI provider login, because Jean does not include a language model.

What is Jean?

Jean is a self-hosted web workspace for AI coding agents. From the browser you manage git repositories and worktrees, open terminals and chat sessions, and run agent command-line tools such as Claude and Codex against your code.

It adds project and worktree management and agent chat sessions to the browser, so each task can run in its own isolated worktree. Self-hosting it keeps the repositories, sessions and provider logins on a server you control. Jean is released under the Apache-2.0 licence.

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

A self-hosted agent workspace normally means a container, a persistent home directory, an access secret, a domain and a certificate before the first prompt. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Jean from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in, because xCloud generates the access token.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start the official Jean container, pinned by immutable digest, as a single service with no database alongside it, mount the jean_home volume at /home/jean, generate the 48-character access token and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Paste The Token And Send A Prompt
Save the access token from the protected installation credentials, open your HTTPS Jean URL and paste the token at the sign-in prompt. Complete Jean's setup, add or create a project, install your agent CLI from Jean's settings, log in to your AI provider and send your first prompt.

Everything Jean Does, On Your Own Server

Jean runs in full here: a browser workspace for repositories, worktrees and agent sessions on a server you control.

Repositories And Worktrees
Manage git repositories and isolated worktrees from one browser workspace, so each task can run in its own worktree.
Agent Chat Sessions
Chat with coding agents such as Claude and Codex that read and edit files in a project or a worktree.
Terminals In The Browser
Terminals and chat sessions are available from any browser, behind the generated access token.
Bring Your Own Provider
Jean does not include a language model. You log in to your own AI provider inside Jean, and your prompts go to that provider.
Work Stays On Your Server
Keep agent work on a server you control instead of a laptop, with repositories, worktrees, sessions and provider logins held in the persistent volume.
Survives A Restart
Data, git and SSH configuration, provider logins and downloaded agent tools live in the jean_home volume, which stayed in place across an xCloud Restart in verification.

Everything You Need To Run Your AI Agent Workspace 24/7

Managed hosting for Jean, so the parts that keep it online are not your problem.

What You Can Do With Jean

Run agents on a server instead of a laptop
Keep long-running agent work and the repositories it touches on a server you control, and reach it from any browser.
One worktree per task
Give each task its own isolated git worktree so agent edits on one change do not mix with another.
Chat with an agent about a project
Open a project, send a prompt and let the agent read and edit files in it, with the answer and the edit shown in the same session.
A shared workspace for a small team
Give a small team one place to run agents on the same repositories, behind one access token, ideally on a dedicated server.

Jean vs Alternatives

code-server: VS Code in the browser, also available as a OneClick app. It is an editor; Jean is built around agent chat sessions and worktrees.
OpenCode: An open-source AI coding agent, also available as a OneClick app, where Jean is a workspace that can host agent CLIs.
GitHub Codespaces: A hosted cloud development environment. With Jean on your own server, repositories and logins stay on volumes you control.
Running an agent CLI over SSH: Possible with a plain terminal; Jean adds a browser interface with projects, worktrees and chat sessions on top.

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.

What makes Jean different from a plain terminal?

It adds project and worktree management and agent chat sessions to the browser, so each task can run in its own isolated worktree.

How do I sign in?

Paste the generated access token from the installation credentials at the sign-in prompt. Jean has no user accounts: the token is the only login, and everyone who has it has the same access.

Does it include an AI model?

No. You log in to your own provider (for example Codex, Claude or OpenCode) inside Jean. In verification, a Codex login with an API key answered prompts and edited files. Your prompts and the code you share with an agent go to the provider you choose.

What runs alongside Jean?

Nothing. It is a single container with no separate database.

How secure is the access token?

It is the whole security boundary. Anyone with it can open terminals and run agents as the unprivileged jean user, and can read the repositories, SSH keys and provider logins in the volume. Keep it private, keep HTTPS on, and use a dedicated server for sensitive code. Verification confirmed the API returns 401 without the token.

How do I rotate the access token?

Change the token value in the Environment editor and redeploy. Never leave it empty: Jean would then generate its own token and hide it in the logs.

Edit environment variables

Does the server need internet access?

Yes. Agent tools are downloaded on demand into the volume, and your prompts go to your chosen provider.

The setup wizard says npm is missing. What do I do?

On a fresh install the setup wizard may report npm missing until Jean is restarted once from xCloud. Restart it and reopen setup.

What should I back up?

The jean_home volume (repositories, worktrees, sessions and provider logins) and the stable .env values.

Backups in xCloud

What survives a restart?

Data on the jean_home volume. A session and the provider login were still there after an xCloud Restart in verification, because it is a persistent named volume.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Jean?

No. The template pins Jean v1.0.12 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release, existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then bump the readable tag and digest together on your own schedule. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.

What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 6 GB?

The template's baseline asks for 1 CPU core, 1024 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk. Measured use in QA was about 15 MiB idle and about 825 MiB right after running an agent session. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Jean?

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

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.
