What is LobeHub?

Self-hosted LobeHub is a work-and-lifestyle space to find, build and collaborate with agent teammates, treating agents as the unit of work. Its README describes an operator view, creation tools, collaboration and an infrastructure where humans and agents co-evolve, and says it is under active development. The template covers chat, agents, knowledge bases and web search. It stands in for a hosted AI chat app, under the LobeHub Community License, which is based on Apache 2.0 with additional conditions.

On xCloud the template runs the pinned LobeHub 2.2.18 image with ParadeDB PostgreSQL, Redis, RustFS object storage and SearXNG behind an nginx gateway, all pinned by digest, with five persistent volumes. HTTPS is published on your domain. xCloud supplies no model provider, and sign-up is open until you set an allow-list.

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

Self-hosting LobeHub normally means a database, a cache, object storage, a search service, a domain and a certificate before a single chat happens. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick LobeHub from the OneClick catalog. Enter a domain — the template needs no other app-specific fields.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned LobeHub 2.2.18 image alongside PostgreSQL, Redis, RustFS object storage and a private SearXNG instance, generate the database, storage and application secrets, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Create Your Account And Add A Provider
Open your HTTPS URL, create your account from the sign-up page, then open Settings, then Provider, and paste your own model API key. Set AUTH_ALLOWED_EMAILS afterwards to close open sign-up.

Everything LobeHub Does, On Your Own Server

LobeHub's chat, agent and knowledge-base tooling runs here on infrastructure you control; upstream's Gateway-mode service and optional Elasticsearch are not included.

Chat, Agents And Knowledge Bases
One interface for conversations, custom agents and knowledge bases, built on whichever model providers you connect.
Bring Your Own Model Provider
Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter or others in Settings — keys are stored per user, encrypted in your own database.
File Uploads And Previews
Built-in S3-compatible object storage serves uploads and previews on the same HTTPS domain, no separate storage account needed.
Private Web Search
A private SearXNG instance gives LobeHub web search without exposing a public search endpoint.
Your Conversations, Your Server
Accounts, agents, conversations and saved provider keys stay on a server you control instead of a third-party AI chat account.
Everything Behind One Gateway
An nginx gateway is the only published service, routing signed file requests to storage and everything else to LobeHub; data persists across restarts.

LobeHub vs Alternatives

Hosted AI chat apps: A hosted chat app stores your conversations and keys on its platform. As a lobehub alternative to hosted AI chat apps, this workspace stores them in your own database on your Cloud VPS, under a licence with extra conditions.
LibreChat: LibreChat is a self-hosted chat interface for many model providers, with its own xCloud template. In a lobehub vs librechat choice, compare agents, knowledge bases and how each handles sign-up.
Big-AGI: Big-AGI is another self-hosted AI chat app with its own xCloud template. In a lobehub vs big-agi comparison, LobeHub bundles PostgreSQL, storage and web search services.
AnythingLLM: AnythingLLM is a self-hosted AI workspace with its own xCloud template, focused on chatting with your documents. Compare its approach with LobeHub's agents.

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.

How much RAM does LobeHub need?

The manifest asks for 2 CPU cores, 2048 MB of RAM and 20 GB of disk as a floor, and QA measured about 0.9 GiB idle and 1.2 GiB in use. The 6 GB tier here leaves comfortable headroom for the stack.

What licence is LobeHub under?

LobeHub is under the LobeHub Community License, based on Apache 2.0 with additional conditions. As the template reads it, commercial use as a frontend and backend service without modifying the source is permitted; distributing derivative works commercially needs a separate licence. Read the LICENSE file at the v2.2.18 tag.

Can you run LobeHub with Docker?

Yes, and this is LobeHub Docker hosting prepared for you: the template runs the pinned LobeHub 2.2.18 image with PostgreSQL, Redis, RustFS and SearXNG behind a gateway, all pinned by immutable digest, so it works as LobeHub cloud hosting on your own VPS.

What is the difference between LobeHub and LibreChat?

Both are self-hosted AI chat workspaces. LobeHub's README frames agents as the unit of work, with knowledge bases and web search in this template. LibreChat has its own xCloud page, so compare agents, providers and sign-up options.

LibreChat hosting

Does LobeHub come with an AI model?

No. You add your own model provider key, for example OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini or OpenRouter, under Settings and Provider after your instance is live. xCloud supplies no key, and the provider bills you. Keys are stored per user and encrypted in your own database.

How do I sign in to LobeHub the first time?

Open your HTTPS URL and create an account from the sign-up page. The first account is created by you, and there is no default password. Do this straight away, because sign-up is open to anyone who can reach the site until you restrict it.

Is sign-up open to anyone on LobeHub by default?

Yes, until you close it. Sign-up stays open to anyone who can reach the site until you set AUTH_ALLOWED_EMAILS to an allow-list of emails or domains in the environment settings. Anyone who signs up can use your server, so set it early.

Can I rotate the LobeHub generated secrets?

Treat them as credentials, not as something to change casually. Do not change KEY_VAULTS_SECRET after install, or provider keys users already saved become unreadable. Changing POSTGRES_PASSWORD later does not change the database's stored password either.

Are there known caveats with LobeHub on xCloud?

Sign-up is open until you set the allow-list; first-run onboarding calls LobeHub's cloud Market API, which can log a harmless console error while onboarding still completes; and HTTPS is served without an HSTS header in this template.

What should I back up on a LobeHub server?

The PostgreSQL, RustFS and signing-key volumes together with the site's environment values, so storage keys and secrets match the restored data. Copy them off the server, keep the secrets private, and test a restore before relying on it.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade LobeHub?

Nothing upgrades it for you: the install stays on pinned release 2.2.18 until you adopt a newer template version. Copy the volumes first, read the upstream release notes, then check sign-in and an existing conversation afterwards.

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.
