Jelly-Clipper Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Jelly-Clipper hosting and run a self-hosted Jellyfin clip tool that lets your Jellyfin users cut, save and share short clips from the library. xCloud starts the pinned image with an embedded SQLite database, two persistent volumes and HTTPS on your domain. It needs an existing Jellyfin server this server can reach, and nobody has a separate account: sign-in is checked against Jellyfin. Open the setup page straight away to bind it to yours.

What is Jelly-Clipper?

Jelly-Clipper is an open-source web app, released under the MIT licence, that lets Jellyfin users create, share and manage video clips from their media library. Upstream describes pasting a Jellyfin media link, choosing a start and end, and getting a shareable clip that only other users of the same Jellyfin instance can open. Its interface is inspired by YouTube and Twitch clips, and a self-hosted Jelly-Clipper is the clip counterpart to those services for a private library.

On xCloud the template runs the community ghcr.io/arnolicious/jelly-clipper 1.3.6 image, pinned by digest, as one container with SQLite and two volumes: jelly_clipper_db and jelly_clipper_videos. Jellyfin itself is not included. No media folder is mounted, so each source video is downloaded from Jellyfin before clipping, and downloaded originals are cleaned up after seven days by default.

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 a container 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.

Jelly-Clipper vs Alternatives

Twitch Clips: Upstream's interface is inspired by YouTube and Twitch clips. Jelly-Clipper is the self-hosted way to cut and share moments from your own library.
Jellyfin: Jellyfin has its own xCloud page and is the media server Jelly-Clipper requires. Run Jelly-Clipper next to it, or against a Jellyfin server elsewhere.
Jellystat: Jellystat has its own xCloud page and reports on Jellyfin activity. Jelly-Clipper instead creates and shares clips.
Jellysweep: Jellysweep has its own xCloud page. Jelly-Clipper is the choice here when the job is clipping and sharing moments from the library.

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 Jelly-Clipper with Docker?

Yes. For Jelly-Clipper Docker hosting the template runs the community ghcr.io/arnolicious/jelly-clipper 1.3.6 image, pinned by tag and digest, as one container on port 3000. It uses an embedded SQLite database with no separate service, and xCloud's nginx publishes it over HTTPS.

Is Jelly-Clipper free and open source?

Jelly-Clipper is open source under the MIT licence, so the clip tool has no licence fee. Upstream calls it a first, somewhat hacky open-source project and invites fixes. xCloud charges for the dedicated Cloud VPS and the deployment work, while your Jellyfin server keeps its own hosting arrangement.

How much RAM does Jelly-Clipper need?

The manifest floor is 512 MB of RAM, one core and 5 GB of disk. Disk matters most, since each source video is downloaded from Jellyfin before clipping and saved clips are kept until you remove them. The 6 GB plan here leaves ample memory above that floor.

Does Jelly-Clipper include Jellyfin?

No. Jelly-Clipper does nothing on its own: it needs an existing Jellyfin server that this server can reach over the network. Enter that server's public address or IP during setup, because localhost would point at the Jelly-Clipper container itself rather than your media server.

How do I set up Jelly-Clipper?

Wait about thirty seconds, then open the Setup URL on your credentials panel straight away and enter your Jellyfin address and a Jellyfin login. Until setup finishes, anyone who reaches the site could bind it to a Jellyfin server of their choice. Afterwards, any Jellyfin user can sign in and see other users' clips.

How do I back up Jelly-Clipper?

Back up jelly_clipper_db (the Jellyfin address, users, sessions and clip records) and jelly_clipper_videos (saved clips and temporary originals) together while the container is stopped. The originals are deleted on a schedule, so the saved clips are what matter. Test a restore.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Jelly-Clipper?

Release 1.3.6 stays put until you act, because the tag and digest are pinned and catalog changes only reach new installs. Snapshot both volumes, check the upstream notes, and then pick a later template version. Keep JELLY_CLIPPER_ORIGIN equal to your public HTTPS address, or sign-in and setup fail.

How long does Jelly-Clipper keep downloaded videos?

Downloaded originals are cleaned up after seven days by default, and the cleanup runs nightly in the time zone you set. Saved clips are kept until you remove them. You can change the schedule and age with the optional CLEANUP settings in the environment file.

Can I run Jelly-Clipper in the cloud on xCloud?

Yes. Jelly-Clipper cloud use gives the app a dedicated Cloud VPS with your domain and certificate. The server must be able to reach your Jellyfin address over the network. Hosting elsewhere? You can connect that server as self-managed instead.

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.
