Deploy MeTube hosting and keep a yt-dlp download queue running on your own server instead of your laptop. xCloud configures the pinned MeTube 2026.09.20 image, puts a Caddy HTTP Basic Authentication gateway in front of the whole interface (MeTube has no login of its own), mounts a persistent downloads volume and publishes it over HTTPS in minutes.
Running yt-dlp with a web front end normally means two containers, a login gateway, a volume, a domain and a certificate. This is the same result without assembling any of it.
Step 01
Create your xCloud account and pick MeTube from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then set the Admin Username and either enter your own admin password or leave it blank for xCloud to generate one securely.
Step 02
One click. We bring up the official MeTube 2026.09.20 image, pinned by immutable digest, mount the metube_downloads volume, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Open your domain, enter the Basic Auth username and password from the credentials panel, paste the URL of a video you are allowed to download, choose a quality and click Download. Finished files appear under Completed and on the metube_downloads volume.
MeTube runs in full here: queue, playlists, subscriptions, format presets and download links, all behind a login gateway on your own domain.
Video or audio from YouTube and hundreds of other sites, with format and quality selection per download.
Queue whole playlists and channels, or subscribe so new uploads are fetched as they appear.
MeTube has no built-in login, so a pinned Caddy gateway protects the interface, the WebSocket, the API and the download links with HTTP Basic Authentication.
MeTube itself listens on port 8081 inside the Compose network only; the gateway is bound to localhost and served through xCloud HTTPS.
MAX_CONCURRENT_DOWNLOADS, DEFAULT_THEME, PUID/PGID, TZ and optional yt-dlp options are read on every start; change them and Restart.
Everything lands on the metube_downloads volume, including the queue and history state, and nothing is deleted automatically.

Connect any VPS — DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, AWS, Hetzner or bare metal — and deploy MeTube on it through the same panel, for a per-server management fee instead of a Cloud VPS rental.

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 GeovannyI'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 PinedaI'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
Leo KooHow Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud
Ed EllinghamxCloud 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 ButucelxCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar AhmedTrust 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 SinghSo 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 VillaCame from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson ElI'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 LewisI came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowellI 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
David McCanHow Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin HeinrichsI had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan SpinozaDear 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 MaknojiaCame from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.
Karl FanegaHow Advanced Web Strategies Saved Over $2,000 & Recovered 56 Hours per Month Managing 70+ Client Websites
Gary MoodyxCloud 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.
Jorge de los Reyes MartínezI use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

Lori NewmanI too have moved over to xCloud. It's pretty sweet. One click n8n and uptime Kuma apps
John ApertureI went from Cloudways to xCloud. No intention on switching in the foreseeable future.

MeTube is a self-hosted web interface for yt-dlp that downloads video and audio from YouTube and hundreds of other sites to your server, with playlist, channel and subscription support. This template deploys version 2026.09.20.
No. The template adds a pinned Caddy container in front of it that enforces HTTP Basic Authentication on the entire interface, the WebSocket connection, the API and the download links. The username and password come from the install form.
Change ADMIN_USERNAME and ADMIN_PASSWORD in the Environment editor and Restart. The gateway reads them on every start.
Some sites rate-limit or block datacenter IP addresses; that is a site-side restriction, not a template fault. The server also needs outbound HTTPS access to the sites you download from.
By default the trash action only removes the entry and keeps the file. Set DELETE_FILE_ON_TRASHCAN=true in the Environment editor if you want it to delete the file too. Keep an eye on free disk space either way.
You are responsible for complying with the terms of the sites you download from and with copyright law. Test the setup with a public-domain or Creative Commons clip.
The pinned MeTube image, the url, username and password shown in the credentials panel, persistent storage on metube_downloads, the domain and the HTTPS route. MeTube stays on internal port 8080, reachable only through xCloud nginx.
The metube_downloads volume. It holds the downloaded media files and the queue and history state under .metube/.
No. The template pins MeTube 2026.09.20 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release, existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then update the image on your own schedule. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.
The template manifest asks for 1 CPU core, 1 GiB of RAM and 20 GiB of disk as a floor for MeTube. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that floor.
Everything on metube_downloads, because it is persistent named volume. Restarting the container does not touch that data.
No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the MeTube project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source MeTube project.
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.
Connect your first server in minutes. No credit card required, and no plan you have to grow into.
