Lowcoder Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Lowcoder hosting on xCloud gives your team a self-hosted low-code platform for internal tools, business applications and data workflows. Deploy Lowcoder from the OneClick catalog and xCloud starts the pinned 2.7.6 Community Edition all-in-one image with MongoDB and Redis inside, creates the administrator from the install form, mounts one volume and publishes it over HTTPS. Public self-registration is disabled, so the administrator is the only account at install.

  • No lock-in, cancel anytime

What is Lowcoder?

Lowcoder is an open-source low-code platform for building internal tools, business applications and data workflows, and its README says it continues from the abandoned Openblocks project. Its three steps are connecting to data sources or APIs, building a responsive interface from more than 120 components with free layout, and sharing with colleagues and customers. Self-hosted Lowcoder is a builder you run yourself instead of renting a hosted one such as Retool. The Community Edition is licensed under AGPL-3.0.

On xCloud, the template deploys Lowcoder Community Edition 2.7.6 as the vendor's all-in-one image, pinned by digest, with the frontend, API service, node service, MongoDB and Redis in one container. All state sits on the lowcoder_data volume, and the environment holds secrets needed to read it. The manifest needs 4 GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores, and public self-registration is disabled.

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

Self-hosting a low-code builder normally means a container, an embedded database, an admin account, a domain and a certificate before a single app exists. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Lowcoder from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and set an administrator email and password — the password can be generated for you.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official Lowcoder Community Edition 2.7.6 all-in-one image pinned by immutable digest, generate the encryption and inter-service secrets it needs, mount the lowcoder_data volume and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Build Your First App

    Open your HTTPS URL and sign in with the administrator credentials shown by xCloud. Create a new application, add a component, save it, publish it, and confirm it's still there after an xCloud Restart.

Everything Lowcoder Does, On Your Own Server

Lowcoder runs in full here — a visual low-code builder for internal tools, on infrastructure you control.

  • Visual App Builder

    Assemble internal tools and business applications from reusable visual components instead of writing a frontend from scratch.

  • Bootstrap Administrator

    Sign in immediately with the administrator email and password you set at install — public self-registration stays disabled.

  • All-In-One Runtime

    The frontend, API service, node service, MongoDB and Redis all run together in the official all-in-one image.

  • Internal Database, Never Exposed

    MongoDB and Redis stay inside the container with no host port published — nothing to lock down separately.

  • Private Marketplace Mode

    The local marketplace runs in private mode, so apps listed there are not shown to anonymous visitors.

  • One Volume, Fully Persistent

    MongoDB data, Redis data, application assets, plugins and logs all live on lowcoder_data, which survives a restart.

Everything You Need To Run Your Low-Code Hosting 24/7

Managed hosting for Lowcoder, so the parts that keep it online are not your problem.

  • Lowcoder 2.7.6 deployed instantly
  • Official pinned image digest
  • Administrator credentials set at install
  • MongoDB and Redis kept internal, never exposed
  • Free SSL certificate
  • Server backups and snapshots
  • Server security updates included
  • 30+ server locations
  • Unused balance refunded

What You Can Do With Lowcoder

  • Build an internal admin tool

    Your team connects a database and assembles a panel from components, so staff can search and edit records without a hand-built front end.

  • Create dashboards on live data

    You wire charts and tables to an API or database and share the dashboard with colleagues inside your own workspace.

  • Ship a customer-facing app

    You publish an app for customers rather than only staff, with the layout flexibility the README describes.

  • Keep internal apps on your own server

    A company that does not want its apps and connection credentials in a hosted builder keeps them in a volume it controls.

Lowcoder vs Alternatives

Retool
Retool is a hosted low-code platform that Lowcoder's README compares itself with. Lowcoder is a self-hosted alternative you run on your own server, and this page makes no feature-parity claim.
Budibase
Budibase is a separate low-code platform with its own OneClick page. Compare its data sources and automation with Lowcoder's component-driven builder before choosing.
ILLA Builder
ILLA Builder is a separate self-hosted low-code builder with its own OneClick page. Check its components and sign-in model against Lowcoder's.
Openblocks
Openblocks is the project Lowcoder's README says it continues from, with its own OneClick page. Lowcoder's 2.7.6 Community Edition is what this template deploys.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is Lowcoder free?

Yes. The Community Edition is open source under AGPL-3.0, whose file is linked here at the pinned 2.7.6 tag, so keep the notices and share source for modified versions. xCloud bills for the Cloud VPS under it, not for Lowcoder, and there is no per-editor fee.

Can you self-host Lowcoder with Docker?

Yes, and this Lowcoder Docker hosting template does it for you: the vendor's all-in-one lowcoder-ce image, pinned by digest, is a single container on your own server, with HTTPS fronting port 3000. It is not a Lowcoder cloud account, so apps and data stay with you.

How much RAM does Lowcoder need?

Lowcoder requires 4096 MB of RAM, 2 CPU cores and 10 GB of disk at minimum, because MongoDB, Redis and the services share one container. That floor is why this page sells the 16 GB tier rather than the 6 GB one. Busy workspaces need more.

How do I sign in to Lowcoder?

Open your HTTPS address and sign in with the administrator email and password from the credentials panel, then create and publish your first application. The administrator is created during bootstrap, so there is no open setup form for strangers.

Can other people register their own Lowcoder accounts?

No. Public self-registration is disabled, and the only account at install is the administrator created during bootstrap. Decide deliberately who else gets access, because a user who can build apps can use the data sources you connect.

Are MongoDB and Redis separate services in Lowcoder?

No. Both run inside the same all-in-one Lowcoder container as internal components, with no host port published for either, and upstream's separate 3443 port is omitted. You interact only with the Lowcoder web interface, so there is nothing separate to manage.

How do I change the Lowcoder administrator password?

Sign in and change it from Lowcoder's own account or administration settings. Editing the bootstrap environment value later does not change the live password and is not a substitute for an in-application change. Keep a record of the new password.

How do I back up Lowcoder?

Back up the lowcoder_data volume together with the rendered environment. The volume holds MongoDB, Redis, application assets, plugins and logs, and the environment holds the encryption and service secrets needed to read that state. Test a restore on a disposable install.

Can I rotate the Lowcoder database encryption password or salt?

Not casually. Never change LOWCODER_DB_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD or the salt without following an upstream-supported procedure, because stored data becomes unreadable. Treat them as permanent secrets, keep them with your backups, and test any change on a restored copy first.

How do I upgrade Lowcoder?

Your running 2.7.6 install is left alone when the catalog moves on; adopting a newer template version is your decision. Back up the volume and environment, read the Lowcoder release notes and test on a restored copy. Then open a published app to confirm it still runs.

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.
