Jellyswarrm Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Jellyswarrm hosting and give every Jellyfin client one address for all your servers. xCloud runs the pinned Jellyswarrm 0.3.1 image as a single container, generates the admin password, mounts a persistent data volume and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain — so one sign-in and one combined library sit in front of the Jellyfin servers you already run.

What is Jellyswarrm?

Jellyswarrm is an open-source reverse proxy that combines multiple Jellyfin servers into one place. If your libraries are spread across different locations, it lets you reach all of your media from a single interface.

It presents itself as a standard Jellyfin server, so most existing Jellyfin apps work against it, and it includes an admin UI for adding backend servers and mapping users. Upstream describes the project as still in early development.

From Sign-Up to One Jellyfin Address In Just 3 Easy Steps

Fronting several Jellyfin servers normally means a container, a persistent volume, an admin password, a domain and a certificate before the first backend is added. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Jellyswarrm from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, and optionally set the admin password (12-64 letters, digits, - or _) — leave it empty and one is generated.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the Jellyswarrm 0.3.1 image as a single container, pinned by immutable digest, mount the jellyswarrm_data volume that holds its configuration and database, apply your admin password, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Add Your Jellyfin Servers
Open https://your-domain/ui and sign in as admin with the password from your installation credentials. Add your Jellyfin servers under Servers, set the public address in Settings, then point your Jellyfin apps at your domain.

Everything Jellyswarrm Does, On Your Own Server

Jellyswarrm runs in full here: a Jellyfin-compatible proxy on your own domain that merges the servers you already have.

One Sign-In, One Library
Browse media from several Jellyfin servers in one place, with libraries of the same name merged into a single virtual library.
Works With Jellyfin Apps
Jellyswarrm presents itself as a standard Jellyfin server, so existing Jellyfin apps can point at one URL. Upstream notes not every client has been tested.
Bundled Web Client
The Jellyfin web client is served from the same address, so a browser needs nothing beyond your domain.
Admin UI At /ui
Add backend servers, map users to them and adjust settings from one admin interface, protected by the admin password.
Redirect Or Proxy Streaming
Choose per backend server whether the client is sent straight to that server (Redirect) or all traffic is relayed through this one (Proxy).
Settings That Persist
The server list, users and configuration live on the jellyswarrm_data volume and survived an xCloud Restart in QA.

What You Can Do With Jellyswarrm

One address for every server
Give family and friends a single URL instead of a list of separate Jellyfin servers to remember and switch between.
A combined library
See libraries from several servers together, with merged views such as Next Up and Recently Added across all of them.
Reach servers on other networks
Connect your server with a friend's server on a different network; content is streamed from the original server, so transcoding stays where the media lives.
Control how streams flow
Pick Redirect or Proxy streaming per backend, depending on whether viewers can reach that server directly.

Jellyswarrm vs Alternatives

Multiple servers in a Jellyfin app: Some Jellyfin apps support adding several servers directly, but you switch between them; upstream says Jellyswarrm brings everything together and merges Next Up and Recently Added across servers.
Mounting a remote library over SMB: Upstream notes that setting up SMB across networks can be complicated and performance is often worse, whereas Jellyswarrm streams content from the original server.
Jellyfin: Jellyfin is the media server itself and holds the libraries; Jellyswarrm sits in front of one or more Jellyfin servers rather than replacing them.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Does Jellyswarrm include a Jellyfin server or storage for my media?

No. Jellyswarrm is a proxy that sits in front of Jellyfin servers you already run; media stays on those backend servers.

How do I sign in?

For the admin UI at /ui, use the username admin and the password shown in your installation credentials. Media clients sign in with an account that exists on one of your backend servers, and Jellyswarrm checks it against those servers.

Should I use Redirect or Proxy streaming?

Redirect sends the client straight to the backend server, which must be reachable from the viewer's device. Proxy relays all traffic through this server and uses its bandwidth. You choose per backend server.

Does it work with my existing Jellyfin apps?

Most likely. Jellyswarrm presents itself as a standard Jellyfin server, though upstream says not every Jellyfin client has been tested. You can also use the bundled web client at your domain.

Does SyncPlay work?

SyncPlay uses WebSocket, which Jellyswarrm supports; upstream lists WebSocket support as still in progress and not fully reliable.

How do I change the admin password?

Edit it in the Environment editor and use Save and redeploy. It is re-applied on every start and overrides the password stored in the data volume, so a change made only in the admin UI is overwritten on the next restart.

Edit environment variables and redeploy

Is the address public?

Yes. The sign-in page, the Jellyfin client and the public server info are visible without logging in, CORS is permissive and the session cookie is not marked Secure, so use a long admin password. The admin UI itself needs the admin password.

What should I back up?

The jellyswarrm_data volume. It holds the configuration file with the session key and admin password in plain text, plus the user and server database, so keep any copy private.

Backups in xCloud

What survives a restart?

Everything on the jellyswarrm_data volume. In QA, a backend server entry and its logins were still present after an xCloud Restart.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Jellyswarrm?

No. The template pins Jellyswarrm 0.3.1 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 2 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 10 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Jellyswarrm?

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