Simple Steps To Launch Your Miniflux Reader In Minutes

Self-hosting Miniflux normally means a Docker stack, a PostgreSQL database, a domain and a certificate. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Choose Your Server

    Create your xCloud account, pick an xCloud managed server or connect your own provider, and set it up as a Docker server. Miniflux's template requires one.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    Open One Click Apps and choose Miniflux. We provision Miniflux and its PostgreSQL database in containers, map your domain and issue a free SSL certificate.

  3. Step 03

    Go Live And Import Your Feeds

    Open the generated HTTPS URL, sign in with the admin account created at deploy time, and import your feeds as OPML or paste in your first feed URL.

A Feed Reader Built For How Focused Readers Work

Miniflux is a minimalist, open-source feed reader written in Go. It reads RSS, Atom, JSON Feed and RDF, and the interface stays out of the way. The difference is that your articles sit in your own database, on a server you chose.

  • Feeds & Categories

    Follow RSS, Atom, JSON Feed and RDF sources, organised into categories you define, with unread counts that stay honest.

  • Full-Text Search

    Search every article you have fetched, including the ones you already read, archived or starred.

  • Scraper & Filter Rules

    Pull the whole article when a feed only ships a summary, and block the noise with per-feed rules before it reaches your unread list.

  • Keyboard Shortcuts

    Read, star, fetch and navigate without touching the mouse. The whole interface can be driven from the keyboard.

  • REST API & Mobile Apps

    A REST API plus Fever and Google Reader compatible endpoints, so third-party mobile reader apps connect to your instance.

  • Your Own Database

    Every article is stored in a PostgreSQL database on your server. No cloud sync and no third-party reader vendor.

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.
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.

What is Miniflux?

Miniflux is a minimalist, open-source feed reader written in Go. It reads RSS, Atom, JSON Feed and RDF, and supports categories, full-text search, scraper and filter rules, keyboard shortcuts, OPML import and export, and a REST API. Third-party mobile apps connect through its Fever and Google Reader compatible endpoints. It is free and open source under Apache-2.0. The project also runs its own paid hosted service at miniflux.app, which is separate from the hosting on this page. xCloud is not affiliated with it.

How do I deploy Miniflux on xCloud?

Miniflux is available through xCloud's One Click Apps. Create a Docker server in your xCloud dashboard, open One Click Apps, select Miniflux, add your domain, and deploy. xCloud provisions Miniflux and PostgreSQL, generates the database credentials, maps the domain and issues the SSL certificate. You then sign in with the admin account created at deploy time and import your feeds as OPML.

Do I need a Docker server to run Miniflux?

Yes. Miniflux runs as a containerised application alongside a PostgreSQL database, so it needs to be deployed on a Docker server. When you create a new server in xCloud, choose Docker as the server type, then deploy Miniflux to it from One Click Apps.

How much RAM does Miniflux need?

Very little. The Miniflux template declares a minimum of 512 MB of RAM, and its README puts a 50 to 100 feed instance at roughly 80 to 150 MB for Miniflux plus 250 to 400 MB for PostgreSQL. The 6 GB Cloud VPS therefore leaves plenty of room for the other apps you run beside it. Feed fetching is what scales: more feeds and shorter refresh intervals use more CPU.

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.

Ready to Deploy Your Feed Reader?

Deploy a production Miniflux instance in minutes. Import your OPML, add your first feeds and read in a quiet interface backed by a database that never leaves your server.
