Mantium Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Mantium hosting on xCloud gives you a self-hosted manga tracker on your own domain. Deploy Mantium and xCloud runs the pinned dashboard and API images beside a private PostgreSQL, puts the dashboard behind a Basic Auth login you set, publishes it over HTTPS, and keeps your series and settings on a persistent volume. Add a series by search or URL and Mantium checks for new chapters every 30 minutes.

What is Mantium?

Self-hosted Mantium is a cross-site manga tracker. Upstream says it tracks manga from several source sites, including MangaDex, MangaPlus, MangaHub and MangaUpdates, and retrieves manga and chapter metadata only. It does not download chapter images. A web dashboard shows unread chapters first in a grid or list view, can send notifications when new chapters appear, and can track nearly any site through its custom manga feature. It is MIT licensed.

On xCloud the template runs the Mantium dashboard and API 6.0.0 with PostgreSQL 16 and a Caddy gateway, all pinned by digest. Mantium has no login of its own, so the gateway protects the whole dashboard with the Basic Auth username and password you set. The mantium_postgres volume holds series, cover images and dashboard settings.

From Sign-Up to a Live Manga Tracker In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting Mantium normally means an API container, a dashboard container, a private database, a generated login and a domain before a single series is tracked. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Mantium from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain, and optionally change the Admin Username — xCloud generates the Admin Password.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned Mantium API and dashboard images, a private PostgreSQL 16 database, and publish the dashboard over HTTPS behind a Basic Auth gateway.
Step 03
Sign In And Add Your First Series
Open your HTTPS URL and sign in at the browser's login prompt — the first start needs a minute or two to create the database tables. Open More Options and add your first series by search, by URL, or as a Custom Manga.

A Manga Chapter Tracker: Everything Mantium Does

Mantium runs in full here — cross-source chapter tracking and optional notifications, on infrastructure you control.

One Dashboard, Many Sources
Track series from MangaDex, MangaPlus, MangaHub, MangaUpdates, RawKuma, KLManga and JManga in a single view.
Add By Search Or URL
Add a series by pasting its URL or by searching by name inside Mantium, or track almost any other site as a Custom Manga.
Automatic New-Chapter Checks
Mantium checks for new chapters every 30 minutes and shows unread series first, so nothing gets missed.
Optional Notifications And Integrations
New-chapter notifications through ntfy, plus integrations with Suwayomi, Tranga and Kaizoku.

What You Can Do With Mantium

Follow every series in one dashboard
A reader adds series from several source sites and sees which have unread chapters, newest first, instead of checking each site by hand.
Know when a new chapter appears
An owner lets Mantium check on a schedule, every 30 minutes by default, and enables notifications so a release does not go unnoticed.
Keep reading progress in sync
A user sets each series' status and last read chapter, then updates it after reading, so the dashboard shows what is left.
Track a site that is not built in
A power user adds a series from a site outside the supported list through the custom manga feature, which upstream lists for nearly all sites.

Mantium vs Alternatives

Suwayomi: Suwayomi is a manga reader server with its own OneClick page. Mantium vs Suwayomi: Mantium tracks chapter metadata and releases but does not host or download chapters.
Komga: Komga is a media server for comics and manga files with its own OneClick page. Mantium instead follows series on source sites and shows the latest released chapter.
Kavita: Kavita is a reading server with its own OneClick page. Mantium keeps a to-read dashboard of releases rather than serving your own files.
Bookmarks and spreadsheets: A bookmark list does not know when a chapter is out. Mantium checks the sources on a schedule and puts unread series first.

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.

Is Mantium free and open source?

Yes. Mantium is MIT licensed, and the code is open for anyone to read and run. The only xCloud charge is for the dedicated Cloud VPS underneath. No paid Mantium tier is added, and your series list stays in your own database.

Can I run Mantium with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Mantium Docker hosting without the assembly. It starts the mantium-api and mantium-dashboard 6.0.0 images beside PostgreSQL 16 and a Caddy login gateway, all pinned by digest, and proxies the dashboard behind HTTPS on your domain.

How much RAM does Mantium need?

The template asks for 1 GB of RAM, one core and 10 GB of disk, and its API bundles Chromium for sources that need a browser. The 6 GB Cloud VPS sold here suits a Mantium cloud install with room for refresh jobs.

Does Mantium download manga?

No. Upstream says Mantium does not download chapter images; it retrieves manga metadata such as name, URL and cover, and chapter metadata such as number, name and URL. It links you to the source site to read. Check each source's terms yourself.

Which manga sources does Mantium support?

Upstream lists Manga Plus, MangaDex, MangaHub, MangaUpdates, RawKuma, KLManga and JManga natively. The custom manga feature can track nearly any other site. Allowed sources and adding methods can be limited in the optional settings in the environment file.

Does Mantium have a login?

Not of its own. Whoever reaches the dashboard can view, add, edit and delete series and change settings, so the template puts it behind a Basic Auth gateway. Set the username and password at install, and rotate them in the Environment editor.

How often does Mantium check for new chapters?

By default every 30 minutes, because the template sets periodic updates on. Refresh interval, parallel refresh jobs and the notification toggle are listed as commented settings in the environment file. Notifications can go through ntfy once you configure them.

How do I back up Mantium?

Back up the mantium_postgres volume, which holds series, cover images and dashboard settings, while the stack is stopped, or take a pg_dump from the database container. The API, dashboard and gateway are stateless. Test a restore before relying on a copy.

Backup and Restore Docker Apps

How do I update Mantium?

Your install stays on its pinned 6.0.0 version until you adopt a newer template version. Back up mantium_postgres first and read the upstream release notes. Afterwards sign in through the gateway, open a series and run a refresh to confirm sources still respond.

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.
