Jellysweep Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Jellysweep hosting and run a self-hosted Jellyfin library cleanup tool that marks old, unwatched movies and shows, lets users ask to keep items and deletes what is left after a grace period. xCloud starts the pinned image in dry-run mode, so nothing is deleted until you review the dashboard and switch it off. You supply Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr and Jellystat or Streamystats; none is included.

What is Jellysweep?

Jellysweep is a cleanup tool for Jellyfin, released under the GPL-3.0 licence. Upstream describes it as analysing viewing stats and other criteria to remove old, unwatched movies and TV shows, with tag-based control from Sonarr and Radarr, disk-usage monitoring, cleanup modes, leaving collections in Jellyfin, a keep-request system for users, notifications and a web interface. Upstream's own caution is to test in dry-run mode first. A self-hosted Jellysweep is a library-hygiene alternative to Maintainerr for Jellyfin.

On xCloud the template runs the community ghcr.io/jon4hz/jellysweep v0.16.1 image, pinned by digest, as one container with SQLite and cached images in the jellysweep_data volume. It has no bundled dependencies and does nothing on its own: Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr and Jellystat or Streamystats must already exist and be reachable. It has no accounts; Jellyfin administrators become Jellysweep administrators.

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

Self-hosting Jellysweep normally means a container, a config file, a data volume, a domain and a certificate before the first scan. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Jellysweep from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and server, then enter the URL and API key of your Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr and Jellystat services, your library names, and the grace period and thresholds.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the community Jellysweep image, pinned by immutable digest, as a single container with no bundled database, generate the session key, mount the jellysweep_data volume for the SQLite database and cached poster images, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Review The Dry Run
Open your HTTPS Jellysweep URL, choose Sign in with Jellyfin and sign in with a Jellyfin administrator account. Review what is scheduled for deletion before switching dry run off in the Environment editor.

Everything Jellysweep Does, On Your Own Server

Jellysweep runs in full here: a web interface for reviewing what is marked for deletion, backed by data you own, wired to your own media stack.

Marks Unwatched Media
Combines your Jellyfin library, Sonarr and Radarr data and Jellystat viewing history, then applies the minimum age and minimum days since last watched you set.
Keep Requests
Users sign in with their Jellyfin account, see items scheduled for deletion and can ask to keep them. Administrators approve or decline from an approval queue.
Dry Run First
The template starts with JELLYSWEEP_DRY_RUN set to true: items are marked and reported but nothing is deleted until you set it to false and redeploy.
Jellyfin Sign-In
Jellysweep has no accounts of its own. Sign-in is checked against your Jellyfin server, and Jellyfin administrators become Jellysweep administrators.
Cleanup Modes For TV
Upstream supports removing a whole series, or keeping the first episodes or seasons, set with JELLYSWEEP_CLEANUP_MODE in the Environment editor.
Optional Extras
Streamystats instead of Jellystat, Jellyseerr notifications, Jellyfin Leaving collections and a custom cleanup schedule are listed as commented settings in the environment file.

Jellysweep vs Alternatives

Maintainerr: Maintainerr has its own xCloud page and is another library cleanup tool. Jellysweep is the one here built around Jellyfin, Jellystat or Streamystats, and user keep requests.
Jellystat: Jellystat has its own xCloud page and supplies the viewing statistics Jellysweep can read. Jellystat reports; Jellysweep acts on the results.
Sonarr: Sonarr has its own xCloud page and is required by Jellysweep. Its tags can steer what Jellysweep marks.
Radarr: Radarr has its own xCloud page and is also required by Jellysweep, alongside Sonarr. Its tags can likewise steer what Jellysweep marks.

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.

Can you self-host Jellysweep with Docker?

Yes. For Jellysweep Docker hosting, the template runs the community ghcr.io/jon4hz/jellysweep v0.16.1 image, pinned by digest, as a single container for amd64 or arm64. Its SQLite database and cached images live in one volume, and xCloud's nginx adds HTTPS on your domain.

Is Jellysweep free and open source?

Jellysweep is open source under the GPL-3.0 licence, so the tool has no licence fee. The xCloud bill is for a dedicated Cloud VPS and deployment. The Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr and Jellystat services it reads are yours and remain on whatever hosting they already have.

How much RAM does Jellysweep need?

The manifest asks for just 128 MB of RAM, because it is one small service with SQLite. The 6 GB plan sold on this page is far more than it needs, and leaves the server free for other tools in your media stack if you run them side by side.

What does Jellysweep need to run?

Jellysweep has no bundled dependencies. You need a Jellyfin server and API key, Sonarr and Radarr with API keys (it refuses to start without either), and Jellystat with an API key or Streamystats. Use addresses this server can reach, since localhost inside the container is the container itself.

How do I sign in to Jellysweep?

Jellysweep has no accounts of its own. Sign-in is checked against your Jellyfin server: Jellyfin administrators become Jellysweep administrators, and other users can see items scheduled for deletion and ask to keep them. The sign-in page is reachable by anyone who can reach the site address.

Will Jellysweep delete my media straight away?

No. It starts in dry-run mode: items are marked and reported but nothing is deleted. Review the dashboard and logs first, then set JELLYSWEEP_DRY_RUN to false in the environment editor and redeploy. Real deletion was not exercised when this template was verified, so check the marks carefully.

How do I back up Jellysweep?

Back up the jellysweep_data volume, which holds the SQLite database and cached images, to keep marks, keep requests and history. It does not hold your media, which lives on the Jellyfin side, so back that up separately before you ever turn dry run off.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Jellysweep?

The v0.16.1 image is pinned by digest, and fresh catalog entries leave a running install untouched. Copy jellysweep_data, read what upstream changed, then choose a later template version. Keep dry run on after any upgrade until the dashboard shows sensible marks again; rotating the session key signs everyone out.

Can I run Jellysweep in the cloud on xCloud?

Yes. Jellysweep cloud use gives the tool a dedicated Cloud VPS with your domain and certificate. Every service it reads must be reachable from that server by address. 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.
