MAZANOKE Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

MAZANOKE hosting on xCloud gives you a self-hosted image optimizer on your own domain. Deploy MAZANOKE and xCloud runs the pinned official static image as one container behind a Basic Auth login you set, publishes it over HTTPS, and keeps no server-side data at all. Choose an image, set quality, size or format, and optimise it entirely in your browser; the file is never uploaded to the server.

  • No terminal
  • No technical skills needed
  • No lock-in, cancel anytime

What is MAZANOKE?

Self-hosted MAZANOKE is a simple image optimizer that runs in your browser, works offline and keeps your images private without ever leaving your device. Upstream describes adjusting quality, setting a target file size or maximum width and height, pasting images from the clipboard, converting between JPG, PNG, WebP and ICO, converting from HEIC, AVIF, TIFF, GIF and SVG, and removing EXIF data such as location and date. It is GPL-3.0 licensed, and it is an alternative to questionable free online compressors.

On xCloud the template runs ghcr.io/civilblur/mazanoke v1.1.6, pinned by digest, as the official static nginx image. Upstream Basic Authentication is configured from the access username and password you set at install. There is no persistent volume and no server-side processing, so images and working state stay in the visitor's browser.

From Sign-Up to a Live MAZANOKE Optimizer In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting a private image optimizer normally means a container, an access layer, a domain and a certificate before a single image is compressed. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick MAZANOKE from the OneClick catalog. Enter a site name, domain, an access username and a password — generated for you or your own choice.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official MAZANOKE 1.1.6 image pinned by immutable multi-architecture digest, apply your Basic Authentication credentials and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Optimize An Image

    Open your HTTPS URL and sign in with the access credentials from your xCloud credential panel. Select or paste a public-safe image, adjust quality, dimensions or output format, optimize it and download the result you want to keep.

A Private Image Compressor: Everything MAZANOKE Does

MAZANOKE runs in full here — a private, browser-only image optimizer, behind an access wall you control.

  • Browser-Only Processing

    Compression, resizing and conversion all happen in your browser — source images never leave your device to reach a server.

  • Compress And Resize

    Bring an image down to the quality, dimensions or target file size you need before publishing or sharing it.

  • Convert And Strip Metadata

    Change output formats and remove embedded metadata without a third-party service ever touching the file.

  • Basic Authentication Built In

    The optimizer sits behind Basic Authentication with an access username and password you set at deploy time.

  • No Server-Side Storage

    There is no application database or upload volume — nothing about a processed image is ever written to the server.

  • Lightweight By Design

    A single container with no dependencies, comfortable on the smallest tier this site sells.

Everything You Need To Run Your Private Image Optimization 24/7

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

  • MAZANOKE 1.1.6 deployed instantly
  • Official pinned multi-arch image digest
  • Access username and password set at deploy
  • App origin bound to localhost
  • Free SSL certificate
  • Server backups and snapshots
  • Server security updates included
  • 30+ server locations
  • Unused balance refunded

What You Can Do With MAZANOKE

  • Shrink photos before sharing

    A person sets a target file size or maximum dimensions, optimises a photo in the browser and downloads the smaller file, without uploading it anywhere.

  • Strip location data from images

    A user removes EXIF data such as location and date before posting a picture, using the on-device processing upstream describes.

  • Convert formats

    A designer converts HEIC, AVIF, TIFF, GIF or SVG to JPG, PNG, WebP or ICO from one page, instead of installing a desktop converter.

  • Give family a private tool

    An owner shares one private address and login so relatives can optimise images, rather than pointing them at an unknown free online tool.

MAZANOKE vs Alternatives

Online image compressors
Upstream positions MAZANOKE as an alternative to questionable free online tools. As a MAZANOKE alternative to online image compressors, processing happens in your browser and the server only delivers the page.
ConvertX
ConvertX is a file converter with its own OneClick page. MAZANOKE vs ConvertX: MAZANOKE focuses on optimising images in the browser, so files are not sent to the server.
Picsur
Picsur is an image hosting service with its own OneClick page. MAZANOKE stores nothing; it optimises an image in your browser and you download the result.
IT-Tools
IT-Tools is a collection of developer utilities with its own OneClick page. MAZANOKE is a single-purpose image optimizer behind a login you control.

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.

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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is MAZANOKE free and open source?

Yes. MAZANOKE is GPL-3.0 licensed and its source is open. xCloud bills the dedicated Cloud VPS that serves the static files. The template adds no paid MAZANOKE tier, stores no application data, and your images never reach the server.

Can I run MAZANOKE with Docker?

Yes, and this template is MAZANOKE Docker hosting without the assembly. It starts the ghcr.io/civilblur/mazanoke v1.1.6 image, pinned by digest, as one container serving static files, with Basic Auth from your username and password and port 80 proxied behind HTTPS.

How much RAM does MAZANOKE need?

Because the server only delivers static files, the manifest asks for just 256 MB of RAM, one core and 1 GB of disk. We pair it with the 6 GB Cloud VPS for a MAZANOKE cloud install. Image work happens on the visitor's own device.

Are my images uploaded to the server?

No. Selected images and optimisation work stay in your browser and are never uploaded, as the template README states. The server only serves the application files behind your Basic Auth login. Anyone you give the login to can use the page.

Which image formats can MAZANOKE convert?

Upstream lists converting between and to JPG, PNG, WebP and ICO, and converting from HEIC, AVIF, TIFF, GIF and SVG. You can also set quality, target file size and maximum width or height. Test a sample of each format you rely on.

Does MAZANOKE remove EXIF data?

Yes. Upstream lists removing EXIF data such as location and date as part of its privacy features, with on-device processing and no tracking. Check one optimised file with a metadata viewer before you rely on it for sensitive pictures.

Can MAZANOKE be installed as a web app?

Yes. Upstream lists an installable web app and offline use. The template serves the manifest file for that. Your browser may need to accept the Basic Auth prompt first, so open the HTTPS address, sign in, then use the browser's install option.

How do I back up MAZANOKE?

There is nothing to back up. The template has no persistent volume and no server-side application data, so only the access username and password in the Environment editor matter. Download every optimised result you want to keep, since browser working state is not a backup.

How do I update MAZANOKE?

Your install stays on its pinned v1.1.6 version until you adopt a newer template version. Verify the new upstream release and licence first, then adopt it and test an optimisation in your browser. To rotate the login, change both access values together and restart.

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.
