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

Self-hosting a notebook server normally means a container, a secret key, a data volume, a domain and a certificate before a single cell runs. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Livebook from the OneClick catalog. Keep the generated Livebook password or set your own, plus a domain.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official Livebook 0.19.9 image pinned by immutable digest, generate a 64-character secret key base, mount the livebook_data volume and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Run A Cell

    Open your HTTPS URL and sign in with the Livebook password. Create a notebook, add and evaluate an Elixir code cell, save it under /data, then confirm it survives an xCloud Restart.

Everything Livebook Does, On Your Own Server

Livebook runs in full here — interactive Elixir notebooks and reproducible workflows, on infrastructure you control.

  • Interactive Elixir Notebooks

    Mix Markdown documentation with live Elixir code cells and see results evaluate in place.

  • Data Exploration

    Explore datasets, visualize results and prototype Elixir data workflows directly in the browser.

  • Reproducible Documentation

    Keep code, narrative and output together in one notebook, so results stay explainable and re-runnable.

  • Password-Protected Access

    The whole workspace sits behind a Livebook password, with a generated one waiting on first sign-in.

  • Shareable Notebooks

    Share notebook files with collaborators for shared technical work, backed by the same underlying app.

  • One Volume, Fully Persistent

    Configuration and notebooks both live in livebook_data, which survives a restart intact.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is Livebook?

Livebook is a free, open-source collaborative web application for writing interactive Elixir notebooks, exploring data and building reproducible documentation. This template deploys version 0.19.9.

Is Livebook free?

Yes — it is free and open source under the Apache License 2.0. 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 Livebook?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the official Livebook 0.19.9 image pinned by immutable digest, mounts its persistent data volume and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.

How do I sign in?

With a single Livebook password protecting the whole instance — there are no individual user accounts. Keep the xCloud-generated password or set your own of at least 12 characters at install time.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The generated Livebook password, a 64-character secret key base, the persistent livebook_data volume, the domain and the HTTPS route. Only the Livebook web interface is published through xCloud-managed ingress — the container port stays bound to localhost.

Is Livebook safe to run code in?

Livebook executes arbitrary Elixir code from any notebook opened in it — that's the point of the product, not a defect. Only share the Livebook password with people you trust to run code on this server.

What should I back up?

The livebook_data volume, as one unit. It holds Livebook's configuration and every notebook saved under /data. Keep the generated password and secret key base with the backup.

Can I change the Livebook password?

Yes. Keep the secret key base stable to preserve existing sessions and stored secrets, and update the Livebook password in the Environment editor when you want to rotate it.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Livebook?

No. The template pins Livebook 0.19.9 by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review upstream release notes and take a verified backup before changing the pinned release.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 2 GB of RAM, two CPU cores and 5 GB of disk as a floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier, with headroom for larger datasets and notebook artifacts beyond that floor.

What survives a restart?

Everything on livebook_data, because it is a persistent named volume. A restart does not touch an existing notebook or the workspace configuration.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Livebook?

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