Jean Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Jean hosting and run a self-hosted AI coding agent workspace that gives each task its own git worktree and runs agent command-line tools against your repositories from the browser. xCloud starts the pinned jean-server image, generates the access token, keeps repositories, worktrees and provider logins on a persistent volume and serves it over HTTPS. Jean includes no model: you sign in to your own AI provider.

What is Jean?

Jean is an open-source workspace for AI coding agents, released under the Apache-2.0 licence. Upstream describes running Claude, Codex, OpenCode and other agents in parallel, each in its own git worktree, with sessions, a multi-dock terminal, code review helpers and GitHub, Linear and Sentry integrations. It can run as a desktop app or as a headless jean-server whose full UI is served over HTTP and WebSocket with token auth. A self-hosted Jean is a browser-based alternative to a hosted cloud dev environment such as GitHub Codespaces.

On xCloud the template runs the official ghcr.io/coollabsio/jean-server v1.0.12 image, pinned by digest, as one container with one volume, jean_home, at /home/jean. There are no user accounts: one shared access token is the only login, and it grants terminals and agent execution inside the container. Agent tools are downloaded on first use, so the server needs outbound internet.

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 a container restart in verification.

Jean vs Alternatives

GitHub Codespaces: If you use a hosted cloud dev environment such as GitHub Codespaces, Jean is the self-hosted route built around AI agents and git worktrees on a server you control.
code-server: code-server has its own xCloud page. Jean is built for running agent command-line tools in parallel worktrees rather than hosting an editor.
OpenCode: OpenCode has its own xCloud page. Jean can run OpenCode as one of several agent backends, alongside Claude and Codex.
Running agents in a terminal: A plain terminal session runs one agent in one folder. Jean adds worktrees, sessions, review tools and integrations around the same agent CLIs.

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 you self-host Jean with Docker?

Yes. For Jean Docker hosting, the template runs the official ghcr.io/coollabsio/jean-server v1.0.12 image, pinned by digest, as one container serving the web interface, API and WebSocket on port 3456. It is bound to loopback and published only through xCloud's HTTPS proxy.

Is Jean free and open source?

Jean is open source under the Apache-2.0 licence, so the workspace has no licence fee. The xCloud charge is for the Cloud VPS and the deployment. Your AI provider is separate: Jean uses your own CLI installations and subscriptions, and those carry their own cost.

How much RAM does Jean need?

The manifest asks for 1024 MB of RAM, one CPU core and 10 GB of disk, but agents, builds and repositories add their own memory and disk use. QA measured about 825 MB right after an agent session, and the 6 GB plan here leaves headroom above that.

How do I sign in to Jean?

Open your HTTPS address and paste the access token from your credentials panel when Jean asks. There are no user accounts, so the token is the only login. Rotate it by changing JEAN_TOKEN in the environment editor and redeploying. Never leave it empty or share it widely.

Does Jean include an AI model?

No. Jean has no bundled model. After signing in, you add repositories and log in to your own AI provider from inside Jean, for example Claude or Codex with an OpenAI key. The agents send your prompts and the code you share to that provider, so the server needs outbound internet.

How do I back up Jean?

Back up the jean_home volume while the site is stopped. It holds Jean's data, repositories, worktrees, git and SSH configuration, provider logins and downloaded agent tools. SSH keys and logins sit there in plain text, so protect the backup carefully.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Jean?

The image tag v1.0.12 is pinned with its digest, so newer catalog entries touch only fresh installs. Before moving, snapshot jean_home, skim the upstream release notes, and then choose a newer template version. Agent CLIs live inside the volume and are fetched separately from the image.

What can someone with the Jean token do?

Anyone with the token gets terminals and agent execution as the unprivileged jean user inside the container, and can read every repository, SSH key and provider login in jean_home. Treat the token like a root password for that workspace, and leave JEAN_ALLOWED_ORIGINS unset so only the same origin can call it.

Can I run Jean in the cloud on xCloud?

Yes. Jean cloud use gives the workspace a dedicated Cloud VPS with your domain and certificate, usually ready within about a minute while the image pulls. A server you already rent from someone else works too, once connected as self-managed.

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.
