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

Self-hosting a bookmark archive normally means a database, a search index, a cache, a container and a certificate before a single link is saved. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick LinkAce from the OneClick catalog. Enter a site title and domain — there are no other fields to fill in.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official LinkAce 2.6.1 image alongside private MariaDB, Meilisearch and Redis services, all pinned by immutable digest, generate independent secrets for each, mount the database and search volumes, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Create Your Account And Save A Link

    Open your HTTPS URL, go to /register and create the intended first account. Add a private test bookmark, confirm it appears in search, and review registration and sharing settings before inviting collaborators.

Everything LinkAce Does, On Your Own Server

LinkAce runs in full here — a self-hosted, collaborative bookmark archive, on infrastructure you control.

  • Searchable Bookmark Library

    Keep a private, full-text-searchable library of links on infrastructure you control instead of a hosted bookmarking service.

  • Lists And Tags

    Organize links with lists and tags built for teams or personal research, not a flat unsorted feed.

  • Link Monitoring

    LinkAce checks saved-link availability and retains bookmark metadata, so a dead link tells you instead of quietly rotting.

  • Import And Export

    Bring bookmarks in or take them back out without surrendering the archive to a hosted service.

  • Meilisearch-Backed Search

    A dedicated Meilisearch index powers fast search across your saved links, kept private on the internal network.

  • Two Volumes, Backed Up Together

    The authoritative MariaDB database and the Meilisearch index each live on their own persistent volume.

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!

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

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.

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.

What is LinkAce?

LinkAce is a free, open-source, collaborative bookmark archive with lists, tags, full-text search, link-availability monitoring and import/export. This template deploys version 2.6.1.

Is LinkAce free?

Yes — it is free and open source under the GNU General Public License v3 (GPL-3.0). What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the application itself.

Can I self-host LinkAce?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the official LinkAce 2.6.1 image alongside private MariaDB, Meilisearch and Redis services, all pinned by immutable digest, mounts two persistent volumes and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.

How do I create the first account?

There is no default administrator account or generated password — none is shipped. Open https://your-domain/register after installation and create the intended first account yourself, then review registration and sharing settings before inviting collaborators.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

A generated APP_KEY, a private MariaDB database with generated name/user/password and a separate root password, a generated Meilisearch master key, a generated Redis password, both persistent volumes, the domain and the HTTPS route. Only the LinkAce web application is published through xCloud-managed ingress.

Is search kept up to date automatically?

Yes, LinkAce indexes into the private Meilisearch service as you save bookmarks. The index can be rebuilt from the MariaDB database if needed, but xCloud backs up linkace_search alongside linkace_db for the fastest recovery.

What should I back up?

Both named volumes together: linkace_db (the authoritative MariaDB data — users, bookmarks, lists, tags, settings and application records) and linkace_search (the Meilisearch index). Redis is an ephemeral cache and is intentionally not persisted.

Are SMTP, OAuth or S3 backups configured?

No. Optional SMTP, OAuth/OIDC, S3 backup and other external integrations are not preconfigured by this template. Add complete provider settings deliberately after reviewing LinkAce's own upstream requirements.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update LinkAce?

No. The template pins LinkAce, MariaDB, Meilisearch and Redis by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Back up both volumes, review LinkAce and dependency release notes, then verify login, a private bookmark, search and xCloud Restart persistence on a disposable installation before upgrading.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 1.5 GB of RAM, two CPU cores and 10 GB of disk as a floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier per the min_ram_mb rule this site applies to every app, with headroom for metadata fetching, link monitoring and concurrent Meilisearch indexing.

What survives a restart?

Everything on linkace_db and linkace_search, because both are persistent named volumes. Redis is intentionally not persisted, since it holds only ephemeral cache and queue state that LinkAce rebuilds as needed.

Is xCloud officially partnered with LinkAce?

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

Can I run other apps on the same server?

Yes. It is a dedicated Cloud VPS, not a locked appliance, so you can deploy other OneClick apps or your own sites beside it as long as the resources are there.

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.
