Jelly-Clipper Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Jelly-Clipper hosting and let everyone on your Jellyfin server cut and share short clips from the library. xCloud runs the pinned Jelly-Clipper 1.3.6 image as a single container with an embedded SQLite database, mounts persistent volumes for the database and your clips, and publishes the app over HTTPS in minutes — people sign in with their existing Jellyfin accounts, so there is no separate user list to manage.

What is Jelly-Clipper?

Jelly-Clipper is an open-source web application that lets Jellyfin users create, share and manage video clips from their Jellyfin media library. You pick a movie or show, choose a start and end point, and the app saves a short clip that other people on the same Jellyfin server can open.

It has no user database of its own: sign-in is checked against your Jellyfin server, and clips are only accessible to users of that Jellyfin instance. Its interface is inspired by YouTube and Twitch clip functionality.

From Sign-Up to Your First Clip In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting Jelly-Clipper normally means a container, two volumes, a domain, a certificate and the right origin setting before anyone can sign in. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Jelly-Clipper from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the community Jelly-Clipper image, pinned by immutable digest, as a single container with embedded SQLite, mount the jelly_clipper_db and jelly_clipper_videos volumes, set the site origin to your domain, and publish it over HTTPS.
Step 03
Connect Jellyfin And Cut A Clip
Open the Setup URL right after install, enter the address of your Jellyfin server and sign in with a Jellyfin account. Then pick a library item, choose the start and end points and create your first clip.

Everything Jelly-Clipper Does, On Your Own Server

Jelly-Clipper runs in full here: a clip-sharing web app in front of your Jellyfin library, on your own domain, with clips stored on your own server.

Clips From Your Library
Create clips from your favourite movies and shows in an existing Jellyfin library, choosing the start and end of the moment you want to keep.
Share By Link
Each clip gets a link you can copy and share, and a signed-in user can also download it as video or audio.
Sign In With Jellyfin
There are no Jelly-Clipper accounts: sign-in is checked against the Jellyfin server saved during setup, and clips are visible to signed-in users only.
Automatic Original Cleanup
Downloaded originals are deleted automatically after 7 days by default to save storage, while the clips themselves are kept.
Clips Survive A Restart
The database and clips live on persistent named volumes, and both survived an xCloud Restart in QA.
Light On Resources
A single container with embedded SQLite — measured idle use in QA was about 184 MiB, and about 260 MiB after creating a clip.

What You Can Do With Jelly-Clipper

Share a favourite scene with the household

Clips are stored on your own server and visible only to people who can sign in to your Jellyfin server.
Hand out a clip as video or audio
Signed-in users can download a clip as a video file or as audio only.
Let family and friends make their own
Anyone with an account on your Jellyfin server can sign in with their Jellyfin credentials and create clips, with no extra accounts to set up.

Jelly-Clipper vs Alternatives

Twitch Clips and YouTube clips: Hosted platforms whose clip features inspired Jelly-Clipper's interface, per its README. Jelly-Clipper cuts clips from your own Jellyfin library and keeps them on your own server.
OBS Studio: A screen recorder: you play the media back and record what is on screen. Jelly-Clipper creates the clip from the library item instead.
FFmpeg: A command-line tool that can cut a clip between two timestamps. Jelly-Clipper puts that job behind a web interface that signs in with Jellyfin accounts.

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.

Does Jelly-Clipper need Jellyfin?

Yes. It works against an existing Jellyfin server that the xCloud server can reach over the network. Use that server's public address or IP: "localhost" refers to the Jelly-Clipper container itself.

How do users sign in?

With their Jellyfin credentials. There are no separate Jelly-Clipper accounts, and every Jellyfin user who signs in can create clips and see other users' clips.

What should I do right after installing?

Open the Setup URL straight away and bind the site to your Jellyfin server. Until setup finishes, anyone who can reach the site could bind it to a Jellyfin server of their choice. In QA, setup closed once it was complete and unauthenticated pages redirected to login.

What runs alongside Jelly-Clipper?

Nothing. It is a single container with an embedded SQLite database, with no separate database service.

Who can see my clips?

Only signed-in users. The template does not enable Basic Authentication, but you can add it at your reverse proxy or access layer if you want an extra gate in front of the whole site.

What happens to downloaded originals?

When Jelly-Clipper has to download an original file from Jellyfin to cut a clip, that original is cleaned up automatically after 7 days by default. The clips you created are kept.

What should I back up?

Both volumes: jelly_clipper_db (the database) and jelly_clipper_videos (clips and downloaded originals).

Backups in xCloud

What survives a restart?

The database and clips on the jelly_clipper_db and jelly_clipper_videos volumes. Clips and the app database survived an xCloud Restart in QA.

What happens if I change the domain?

JELLY_CLIPPER_ORIGIN must be the exact public HTTPS address of the site, because a wrong value breaks sign-in and setup. It follows the site's domain automatically, so do not edit that line.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Jelly-Clipper?

No. The template pins Jelly-Clipper 1.3.6 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, 512 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 184 MiB, and about 260 MiB after creating a clip. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, which leaves headroom above that baseline and room for clip storage.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Jelly-Clipper?

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