MedAssist Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy MedAssist hosting and run a self-hosted medication tracker that keeps your list of medications, tracks pill stock and tells you when to reorder. xCloud starts the pinned image with an embedded SQLite database behind a login gateway, generates the password and serves it over HTTPS on your domain. Upstream calls it a hobby project, not a medical device, so keep following your doctor's instructions.

What is MedAssist?

MedAssist is a simple Node.js application, released under the GPL-3.0 licence, made to help someone manage daily medications. Upstream lists tracking medication inventory so you know when to reorder, email reminders when supplies are low, a custom medication list for travel, and a dashboard of status and upcoming schedules. Its author says it is a hobby project and warns not to rely on it for health decisions. A self-hosted MedAssist is a private alternative to a hosted medication reminder app such as Medisafe.

On xCloud the template runs the ghcr.io/njic/medassist v0.16.2 image, pinned by digest, with an embedded SQLite database on the medassist_data volume. MedAssist has no sign-in of its own, so a Caddy gateway enforces one shared HTTP Basic login on every path. Reminder emails are sent by MedAssist itself through the SMTP server you configure in Settings.

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

Self-hosting MedAssist normally means a container, a login gateway, a generated password and a persistent volume before a single medication is tracked. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick MedAssist from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain, and optionally change the login username — xCloud generates the password.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the pinned MedAssist 0.16.2 image, generate the login credentials, mount the persistent database volume, and publish it over HTTPS behind the login gateway.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Add Your First Medication

    Open your HTTPS URL, sign in with the generated credentials, add your first medication on the Config page, and set up email reminders under Settings with your own SMTP server.

Everything MedAssist Does, On Your Own Server

MedAssist runs in full here — the same stock tracking, scheduling and reminder tooling, on infrastructure you control.

  • Medication Inventory Tracking

    See how many days of supply are left for every medication before you need to reorder.

  • Per-Medication Dosing Schedules

    Define amount, frequency, time of day and start date for each medication you track.

  • Low-Supply Email Reminders

    MedAssist emails you through your own SMTP server when stock falls below the number of days you choose.

    Generate a list with the exact quantities needed for a date range, and optionally email it to yourself.

  • Simple Status Dashboard

    One view of medication status and upcoming doses, without digging through separate screens.

  • Your Data, Your Server

    Medications, schedules and SMTP settings stay in a persistent volume on infrastructure you control, not a third-party account.

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

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.

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.

Can you self-host MedAssist with Docker?

Yes. For MedAssist Docker hosting the template runs the ghcr.io/njic/medassist v0.16.2 image, pinned by tag and digest, behind a Caddy gateway. Only the gateway is bound to the host; the app's port stays on the compose network, and an embedded SQLite file holds the data.

Is MedAssist free and open source?

MedAssist is open source under the GPL-3.0 licence, so the tracker has no licence fee. xCloud bills for the dedicated Cloud VPS and the deployment. Upstream is a hobby project without warranty, and the SMTP service you use for reminders is billed by its own provider.

How much RAM does MedAssist need?

The manifest asks for 256 MB of RAM, one CPU core and 2 GB of disk. In testing, the app and its gateway together used about 30 MB. The 6 GB plan sold here is far above that, so it suits sharing the server with other small tools.

How do I sign in to MedAssist?

Open your HTTPS address and enter the username you chose and the generated password when the browser asks for HTTP Basic credentials. MedAssist has no accounts of its own, so this is one shared login for the whole site. Anyone with the password can view and change every medication.

Does MedAssist send email reminders?

Yes, once you configure SMTP on the app's Settings page. MedAssist sends the emails itself through your own mail server, not through xCloud, which provides no mail relay. SMTP is not an environment setting, so you set it inside the app.

How do I back up MedAssist?

Back up the medassist_data volume, which holds medication.db with your medications, schedules and SMTP settings. Run exactly one instance, because the app uses an embedded SQLite file and an in-process scheduler. Store copies off-server, keep them private, and test a restore.

How do I upgrade MedAssist?

Version v0.16.2 is fixed by tag and digest, so a catalog update reaches new installs only. Back up medassist_data, read the upstream release notes, then adopt a newer template version when you decide. Check your medication list and reminder settings afterwards.

Can I rely on MedAssist for my health?

No. Upstream says plainly that your health is your responsibility, that the app may have serious flaws and that you should follow your doctor's instructions and plan reorders yourself. Treat it as a helpful tool and make health decisions independently, never because MedAssist did or did not remind you.

Can I run MedAssist in the cloud on xCloud?

Yes. MedAssist cloud use gives the tracker a dedicated Cloud VPS with your domain and certificate. A malformed request to the app's API can crash its Node process upstream, though the container restarts within seconds and no data is lost.

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.
