Maloja Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Keep your listening history where you control it. Maloja tracks scrobbles, builds personal charts, and shows every artist, track and album you've listened to from its own web interface. xCloud configures the pinned Maloja 3.2.6 image, its persistent data volume and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes, with a generated administrator password waiting when you sign in.

From Sign-Up to a Live Maloja Server In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting a scrobble database normally means a container, a data directory, an auth layer, a domain and a certificate before a single scrobble is recorded. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Maloja 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 vendor-maintained Maloja 3.2.6 image pinned by immutable digest, generate a 32-character administrator password, mount the maloja_data volume and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Scrobble

    Open your HTTPS URL and sign in with the generated administrator password. Create a separate API key for each scrobbling client, submit a first scrobble, and confirm it appears in your listening history and charts.

Everything Maloja Does, On Your Own Server

Maloja runs in full here — a self-hosted music scrobble database, on infrastructure you control.

  • Personal Listening History

    Browse every artist, track and album you've scrobbled, plus charts built from your own history.

  • Manual Or Client Scrobbling

    Submit listens by hand, or connect a client through Maloja's native, ListenBrainz-, GNU FM- or Audioscrobbler-compatible endpoints.

  • Custom Artwork

    Attach your own artwork to artists, albums and tracks instead of relying on whatever a client happens to fetch.

  • Per-Client API Keys

    Issue a separate API key for each scrobbling client, so access can be revoked one client at a time.

  • Generated Administrator Password

    Sign in for the first time with a 32-character password xCloud generates during installation — no default credential to change first.

  • One Volume, Fully Persistent

    Configuration, authentication state, history, cache, logs and artwork all live on maloja_data, which survives a restart.

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.
Rahil Maknojia
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 Maloja?

Maloja is a free, open-source, self-hosted music scrobble database. It records your listening history, builds personal charts, and exposes standard-compatible endpoints so scrobbling clients can submit listens automatically. This template deploys version 3.2.6.

Is Maloja 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 Maloja?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the vendor-maintained Maloja 3.2.6 image pinned by immutable digest, mounts its persistent data volume and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in about five minutes instead of assembled by hand.

How do I sign in?

xCloud generates a 32-character administrator password during installation and shows it once in your xCloud credential panel. Maloja's admin login has no separate username field to choose at deploy time.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The generated administrator password, the persistent maloja_data volume, the domain and the HTTPS route. Only the Maloja web interface is published through xCloud-managed ingress.

How do I connect a scrobbling client?

Create a separate API key inside Maloja for each client you use. Compatible clients can connect through Maloja's native API, or its ListenBrainz-, GNU FM- or Audioscrobbler-compatible endpoints.

What should I back up?

The maloja_data volume, as one unit. It holds configuration, administrator authentication state, listening history, imported scrobbles, API keys, cache, logs and custom artwork. Stop or pause writes for a consistent snapshot and test restoration.

Can I change the administrator password?

Yes, through Maloja's own interface. Keep MALOJA_FORCE_PASSWORD synchronized to the new value in xCloud's Environment editor before the next redeploy, or the old configured value is applied again at startup.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Maloja?

No. The template pins Maloja 3.2.6 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 1 GB of RAM, one CPU core and 5 GB of disk as a floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier that every OneClick app uses, well above what Maloja itself needs — leave extra disk for artwork caching and a growing listening history.

What survives a restart?

Everything on maloja_data, because it is a persistent named volume. A restart does not touch your listening history, API keys, or dashboard configuration.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Maloja?

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

Ready to Own Your Listening History?

Connect your first server in minutes. No credit card required, and no plan you have to grow into.
