Lidarr Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Lidarr hosting and manage your music collection from a browser on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned LinuxServer Lidarr 3.1.0.4875 image, switches on Forms login with the administrator you set, generates the API key, mounts config, music and download volumes and publishes it over HTTPS in minutes. You connect your own indexers and download client, because none is bundled.

What is Lidarr?

Lidarr is a music collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It monitors feeds for new tracks from the artists you follow, then grabs, sorts and renames them, and can watch for better quality of tracks you already have. Run on your own server it is a self-hosted Lidarr, a way to build a music library of files you keep on your own storage, and its code is GPL-3.0 licensed.

On xCloud it is the LinuxServer Lidarr 3.1.0.4875 image, pinned by digest, with Forms login and a generated API key set at install. Lidarr is one part of a media stack: it bundles no indexer and no download client, so it fetches nothing until you connect your own and you should add only sources you are authorized to use. Config, music and downloads sit on three volumes.

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

A Lidarr setup normally means the app container, a login you must remember to switch on, three folders, an API key, a domain and a certificate before the first artist. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Lidarr from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and server, set the administrator username and password, and choose your timezone.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start the LinuxServer Lidarr image pinned by digest, switch on Forms login with your administrator, apply a generated API key, mount lidarr_config, lidarr_music and lidarr_downloads, and publish it over HTTPS.
Step 03
Add A Root Folder, Indexers And A Client
Sign in, open Settings, Media Management and add /music as the root folder. Then add your indexers and a download client under Settings, and add an artist so Lidarr can search.

Everything Lidarr Does, On Your Own Server

Lidarr 3.1.0.4875 runs here with its login switched on, on volumes you own.

Follow Artists
Lidarr monitors the artists you follow and looks for new releases on the indexers you configure.
Grab, Sort And Rename
It hands releases to your download client, then renames and organises the files into your music library.
Your Indexers, Your Client
No indexer or download client is bundled. Connect your own, and add only services you are authorized to use.
Login On From Install
Forms login is enabled during install, so the interface and API are never open to the first visitor.
An API Key For Other Tools
A generated API key lets other applications talk to Lidarr. Keep it private, and rotate it from the environment.
Three Volumes
Settings and the database sit on lidarr_config, your library on lidarr_music and finished downloads on lidarr_downloads.

Sonarr: The sibling manager for TV series, available as its own OneClick app; compare how each fits your stack.

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 I run Lidarr in Docker?

Yes, and this template is Lidarr Docker hosting without the setup: the LinuxServer Lidarr 3.1.0.4875 image pinned by digest, with three named volumes, Forms login switched on, a generated API key and HTTPS on your own domain.

How much RAM does Lidarr need?

The template minimum is 256 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 5 GB of disk. Large libraries use more memory during scans and need disk for the music itself. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung.

How do I sign in to Lidarr after installing?

Open your URL and sign in with the administrator username and password from the credentials. Forms login was switched on during install, so the interface and API are not open. Change the login later under Settings, General.

Does Lidarr download music by itself?

No. Lidarr bundles no indexer and no download client, so it fetches nothing until you add your own under Settings. Add only services and sources you are authorized to use. Download clients run in their own containers.

How do I connect a download client to Lidarr?

Add the client under Settings, Download Clients. Lidarr can import a finished download only from a path it can read, such as the /downloads volume, or through a remote path mapping. Plan that location before enabling imports.

Is the Lidarr API key secret?

Yes. Anyone holding the API key can control Lidarr, so keep it private. It is applied on every start, so to rotate it edit it in the Environment editor, redeploy and update every application that uses the old key.

Is Lidarr free?

Yes. Lidarr is GPL-3.0 licensed, so using the software costs nothing. The plan you pick pays for the dedicated Cloud VPS holding your library, which makes it a Lidarr cloud of your own. Indexers and download clients are separate services.

How do I back up Lidarr?

Back up lidarr_config, lidarr_music and lidarr_downloads together while Lidarr is stopped, because the config volume holds SQLite state. If it is ever recreated empty, Lidarr starts with no login. Nothing schedules this copy; you run it yourself, ideally storing one away from the server.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Lidarr?

Version 3.1.0.4875 is what runs until you adopt a newer template version, and the image already switches off in-app updates. Copy lidarr_config before changing anything and skim the release notes. Updates never arrive unprompted, and your music volume stays put.

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.
