What is jfa-go?

jfa-go is an open-source user management app for Jellyfin, and for Emby as a second-class option. It provides invite-based account creation, plus tools that make a media server easier to manage.

Instead of creating every account by hand, you send an invite link and the new user picks their own username and password. You can limit each invite by time or number of uses, and apply a profile so new accounts start with the settings you chose.

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

Self-hosting jfa-go normally means a container, a configuration file, a data volume, a domain and a certificate before the first invite. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick jfa-go from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain, then enter your Jellyfin or Emby server URL, the server type, and an administrator username and password.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official jfa-go image, pinned by immutable digest, as a single container with no private services, write its configuration from your install details, mount the jfa_go_data volume, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain. It is usually ready within about a minute.
Step 03
Create Your First Invite
Open your HTTPS jfa-go URL, sign in with the Jellyfin or Emby administrator account you entered at install, create an invite from the Invites tab and share the invite link.

Everything jfa-go Does, On Your Own Server

jfa-go runs in full here: invite-based sign-up and account management for your existing Jellyfin or Emby server, on your own domain.

Invite-Based Account Creation
Send invites to friends or family and let them choose their own username and password without relying on you.
Granular Invite Control
Set a validity period and a number of uses on each invite, and assign an account profile so new users get your predefined settings on sign-up.
A My Account Page
Users can reset their password, manage contact details and see their account expiry date.
User Expiry And Bulk Management
Give accounts a validity period that can be extended, and manage accounts in bulk or individually: apply settings, disable, enable or delete.
Ombi And Jellyseerr Integration
Optionally create and synchronise details for new accounts in Ombi or Jellyseerr. Upstream warns that Ombi integration use is risky.
Your Data Stays On Your Volume
Configuration, database, invites, profiles and backups live on the persistent jfa_go_data volume.

What You Can Do With jfa-go

Onboard friends and family without doing it by hand
Send an invite link and let each person create their own Jellyfin or Emby account, so you are not choosing usernames and passwords for them.
Hand out time-limited or single-use access
Limit an invite by how long it is valid or how many times it can be used, and set an expiry on the accounts it creates.
Apply the same settings to every new user
Attach an account profile to an invite so new users arrive with the permissions and settings you predefined.
Let users look after their own account
Point people at the My Account page to reset their password and update their contact details, and manage every account in bulk from the admin page.

jfa-go vs Alternatives

Wizarr: Upstream lists it as focused on invites, with some Discord and Ombi integration.
Jellyseerr: A fork of Overseerr that can manage users and mainly acts as an Ombi alternative; jfa-go also integrates with it. Now maintained as Seerr.
Organizr: Does not focus on Jellyfin: it puts self-hosted services into tabs on a central page and can create users to control who accesses what.

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 it include Jellyfin?

No. jfa-go manages accounts on your existing Jellyfin or Emby server; it does not install one. You enter that server's URL at install, and it must be reachable from your xCloud server.

How do I sign in?

With the Jellyfin or Emby administrator account you entered at install, at the site root of your domain. The setup wizard is skipped, and there is no separate /admin path.

What happens if my Jellyfin or Emby server is down?

jfa-go needs that server to be reachable. If it is down or unreachable on first start, jfa-go keeps restarting until it can sign in.

Can I change the media server details later?

Not from the install screen. The server URL, type, username and password are written to the jfa-go configuration on the first start only; change them afterwards under Settings > Jellyfin in the admin page.

Is my administrator password safe?

The administrator credentials are stored in plain text in the jfa-go data volume, so protect access to the admin page. Anyone who can sign in as a server administrator can manage every account on the media server.

Does password reset by shared file work?

No. That feature is unavailable because the media server's configuration folder is not shared with the jfa-go container. Users can still reset their password from the My Account page.

Do admin sessions survive a restart?

No. Admin sessions end whenever the container restarts, so you sign in again.

What survives a restart?

Invites and user records on the jfa_go_data volume. They were still present after a container restart in QA.

What should I back up?

The jfa_go_data volume, which holds the configuration, database, invites, profiles and backups.

Backups in xCloud

Does xCloud automatically back up or update jfa-go?

No. The template pins jfa-go 0.6.0 by immutable digest, and upstream update checks are turned off; new installations use the pinned release and existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then update the image digest 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, 256 MB of RAM and 1 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 27 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with plenty of headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with jfa-go?

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