Upload, organize, view and share photo collections through a responsive self-hosted gallery — your originals, generated media and database stay on infrastructure you control. xCloud configures the pinned Lychee 7.7.3 image, a private MariaDB 11.8.8 service, five persistent volumes and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes.
Self-hosting Lychee normally means a container, a private database, five volumes to keep straight, a domain and a certificate before a single photo is uploaded. This is the same result without assembling any of it.
Step 01
Create your xCloud account and pick Lychee from the OneClick catalog. Enter a site title and domain — the template needs no other app-specific fields.
Step 02
One click. We bring up the vendor-maintained Lychee 7.7.3 image and MariaDB 11.8.8 pinned by immutable digest, generate the application key, mount all five persistent volumes, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain while MariaDB stays private.
Step 03
Open your HTTPS URL, create the first administrator account directly in Lychee, and sign in. Create an album and upload your first photos.
Lychee runs in full here — the same album, sharing and gallery tooling as any hosted photo service, on infrastructure you control.
Organize photos into albums you keep private or share through Lychee's own controls, not a link that lives on someone else's server.
Browse and present collections through a gallery interface built for photos first, on desktop or mobile.
Originals, generated thumbnails and image metadata are handled and stored together, ready to browse without extra processing steps.
Create the first administrator account from inside the live application — the same supported flow Lychee documents upstream.
Originals, thumbnails and database records stay on a server you control instead of a third-party photo-hosting account.
Uploads, application data, logs, temporary processing data and the MariaDB database each persist on their own volume, all surviving a restart.
Managed hosting for Lychee, so the parts that keep it online are not your problem.

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 GeovannyI'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 PinedaI'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
Leo KooHow Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud
Ed EllinghamxCloud 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 ButucelxCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar AhmedTrust 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 SinghSo 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 VillaCame from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson ElI'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 LewisI came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowellI 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
David McCanHow Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin HeinrichsI had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan SpinozaDear 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 MaknojiaCame from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.
Karl FanegaHow Advanced Web Strategies Saved Over $2,000 & Recovered 56 Hours per Month Managing 70+ Client Websites
Gary MoodyxCloud 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.
Jorge de los Reyes MartínezI use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

Lori NewmanI too have moved over to xCloud. It's pretty sweet. One click n8n and uptime Kuma apps
John ApertureI went from Cloudways to xCloud. No intention on switching in the foreseeable future.

Lychee is a free, open-source, self-hosted photo-management gallery for uploading, organizing, viewing and sharing image collections in private or shared albums. This template deploys version 7.7.3.
Yes — it is free and open source under the MIT licence. What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the application itself.
Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the vendor-maintained Lychee 7.7.3 image alongside MariaDB 11.8.8, both pinned by immutable digest, mounts its five persistent volumes, and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in about five minutes instead of assembled by hand.
The Lychee URL, a generated application key, the private MariaDB service, all five persistent volumes, the domain and the HTTPS route. Only the Lychee application is published through xCloud-managed HTTPS — MariaDB stays private.
The template does not generate or pre-fill one. You create the first administrator account directly in the live Lychee application on first run, using Lychee's own supported setup flow — there's no field for it at deploy time.
No — APP_KEY must stay stable. It is Lychee's core application key, and rotating it after installation is not a supported casual change.
All five declared volumes together, as one application boundary: Lychee uploads, application data, logs, temporary processing data and the MariaDB database. Use application- or database-aware snapshots for a consistent restore point, keep off-server copies, and test restoration.
No. The template pins Lychee 7.7.3 by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review upstream migration guidance and take a complete backup before changing the pinned release.
The template manifest asks for 2048 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 10 GB of disk as a floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier, comfortable headroom above that floor for MariaDB and image processing running alongside the application.
Everything on the five persistent volumes — uploads, application data, logs, temporary data and the database. Restarting the containers does not touch your albums or photos.
No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the Lychee project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source Lychee project.
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.
No — this template deploys a single Lychee instance. Lychee itself supports multiple albums and shared links within that one instance, which is the same capability you'd get self-hosting it any other way.
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.
Connect your first server in minutes. No credit card required, and no plan you have to grow into.
