MaxKB Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

MaxKB hosting on xCloud gives you a self-hosted AI agent platform on your own domain. Deploy MaxKB and xCloud runs the pinned all-in-one image with its bundled PostgreSQL and Redis, sets the administrator password you enter at install instead of any default, publishes the web interface over HTTPS, and keeps all application data on one persistent volume. Sign in as admin, connect an LLM and an embedding provider, then build your first knowledge base.

What is MaxKB?

Self-hosted MaxKB, short for Max Knowledge Brain, is an open-source platform for building enterprise-grade agents. Upstream says it integrates retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, a workflow engine, MCP tool use, document upload or crawling with automatic splitting and vectorisation, and support for private and public models. Upstream names its typical application scenarios as intelligent customer service, corporate internal knowledge bases, academic research and education, and it is GPL-3.0 licensed.

On xCloud the template runs 1panel/maxkb v2.10.5-lts, the vendor's all-in-one image, pinned by digest, with PostgreSQL and Redis bundled inside the one container. The maxkb_data volume holds everything. The administrator password comes from the install form. No model is included, so you configure an LLM and an embedding provider inside MaxKB after sign-in.

From Sign-Up to a Live Knowledge Base In Just 3 Easy Steps

A self-hosted RAG platform normally means an application, a database, a cache, a data volume, a domain and a certificate before the first document is indexed. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick MaxKB from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and server, then enter an Administrator Password of 12 to 20 characters with letters, a number and a special character.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start the official MaxKB container, pinned by immutable digest, with PostgreSQL and Redis running privately inside it, mount the maxkb_data volume, create the admin account from your password and publish port 8080 over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Add A Model And Build An Agent
Open your HTTPS MaxKB URL and sign in as admin with the password shown in the protected install credentials. Add an LLM and an embedding model, create a knowledge base from your documents, then create and publish an agent.

A RAG Knowledge Base Platform: Everything MaxKB Does

MaxKB runs in full here: a knowledge-base and agent builder on your own domain, with documents and conversations kept on your server.

Knowledge Bases From Your Documents
Turn documents into a searchable knowledge base that an agent can answer questions from.
Agents You Can Publish
Create an agent on top of a knowledge base and publish it with its own chat link for teammates or customers.
Your Choice Of Model Provider
Connect an LLM and an embedding provider from inside MaxKB. The template does not manage provider credentials; OpenAI chat and embedding models were verified.
Chat With Your Content
Ask questions in the agent chat and get answers grounded in the documents you added.
Bundled PostgreSQL And Redis
Both run inside the application container and are not exposed outside it, so there is no separate database to provision.
Admin Account Set At Install
The built-in admin account is initialised from the password you choose at install, and unauthenticated API calls are rejected.

Everything You Need To Run Your Knowledge Base 24/7

What You Can Do With MaxKB

Answer questions from your own documents

Give customers or teammates a chat link
Publish an agent with its own chat link so others can use it without access to the admin interface.
Use the model provider you prefer
Connect the LLM and embedding provider of your choice from inside MaxKB and change them as your needs change.
Keep content on your own server
Run the knowledge base on a server you control so documents and conversations are stored there.

MaxKB vs Alternatives

ChatGPT custom GPTs: A hosted way to build assistants over uploaded files. As a MaxKB alternative to ChatGPT custom GPTs, documents and conversations are stored on a volume you control, and you choose the model provider.
AnythingLLM: AnythingLLM is a document-chat and agent app with its own OneClick page. MaxKB vs AnythingLLM: MaxKB is centred on knowledge bases, a workflow engine and publishable agents with an admin console.
RAGFlow: RAGFlow is a retrieval-augmented generation engine with its own OneClick page. MaxKB bundles PostgreSQL with pgvector and Redis in one container for a simpler footprint.
Open WebUI: Open WebUI is a chat interface for language models with its own OneClick page. MaxKB focuses on knowledge bases and agents rather than a general chat front end.

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 MaxKB free and open source?

Yes. MaxKB is GPL-3.0 licensed and its code is open. xCloud bills the dedicated Cloud VPS, and your model provider bills separately for any hosted model you connect. The template adds no paid MaxKB tier.

Can I run MaxKB with Docker?

Yes, and this template is MaxKB Docker hosting without the assembly. It starts the vendor's all-in-one 1panel/maxkb v2.10.5-lts image, pinned by digest, with PostgreSQL and Redis inside the one container, proxies port 8080 behind HTTPS and mounts the maxkb_data volume.

How much RAM does MaxKB need?

With PostgreSQL and Redis bundled in one container, the manifest asks for 4 GB of RAM, four cores and 30 GB of disk. A MaxKB cloud install on the 16 GB Cloud VPS sold here has headroom for documents and concurrent chats.

What is the MaxKB default login?

The username is admin, and the password is the one you entered in the install form, shown in the installation credentials. The template does not use the fixed default password from upstream's quick start. Changing the environment value later does not change the account; rotate it inside MaxKB.

Does MaxKB include a model?

No. Configure an LLM provider and an embedding provider inside MaxKB before you create a knowledge base or agent. Provider credentials are entered in the app, not in the template. Upstream lists private and public models, so choose one that suits your data.

Which language models does MaxKB work with?

Upstream calls MaxKB model-agnostic, naming private models such as DeepSeek, Llama and Qwen, and public models such as OpenAI, Claude and Gemini. Pick your provider in the app after sign-in. Calls to hosted providers leave your server, so check their terms.

Can I publish a MaxKB agent for others?

Yes. Upstream describes integrating agents into third-party systems without code, and an agent can have its own chat link so others use it without access to the admin console. Review what knowledge the agent can reach before you share the link.

How do I back up MaxKB?

Back up the maxkb_data volume as one unit. It contains MaxKB application data and the bundled PostgreSQL data. Stop or quiesce the application before a filesystem-level copy, restore the whole volume together, and test a restore before relying on it.

Backup and Restore Docker Apps

How do I update MaxKB?

Your install stays on its pinned v2.10.5-lts version until you adopt a newer template version. Back up the whole volume first and read the MaxKB LTS release notes, then test the upgrade and a rollback. Afterwards sign in and ask a question against a knowledge base.

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.
