What is Movary?

Movary is a self-hosted movie tracker and rating journal. You log the films you watch with a date, a comment and a rating, and Movary builds a watch history and viewing statistics from them, using movie data and posters from The Movie Database (TMDB).

It is open source under the MIT licence and runs as a single PHP application with an SQLite database, so there is no separate database server to look after.

From Sign-Up to Your First Logged Film In Just 3 Easy Steps

A self-hosted movie tracker normally means a container, a volume, a first admin account, a domain and a certificate before the first rating. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Movary from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain, then enter an administrator email, a username and a free TMDB API key from themoviedb.org/settings/api.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Movary image, pinned by immutable digest, as a single container with a SQLite database, mount the movary_storage volume, create your administrator account with a generated password and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Log Your First Film
Save the generated password from the protected installation credentials and sign in with your email. Change the password in Settings, then search for a film and log your first watch.

Everything Movary Does, On Your Own Server

Movary runs in full here: a personal watch log with ratings and statistics, on a domain you control.

Log Every Watch
Record watched movies with a date, comment and rating, so the diary reflects when and how you saw each film.
Movie Data From TMDB
Movie details and posters come from The Movie Database using your own free API key.
History And Statistics
Browse your watch history and a statistics overview such as plays, unique movies and hours watched.
Private By Default
Public registration is off and unauthenticated pages redirect to sign-in; the administrator account is created at install.
SQLite, Nothing To Run
There is no separate database service to maintain; data lives in a single SQLite file on a persistent volume.
Imports From Other Trackers
Bring in history from Letterboxd, Trakt or Netflix CSV files, up to about 1 MB per file.

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.

I use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Do I need a TMDB account?

Yes. A free TMDB API key, created at themoviedb.org/settings/api, is required for movie search and posters. You enter it during install.

How do I sign in?

Use the administrator email you entered at install and the generated password from the protected credentials card, then change the password in Settings.

What runs alongside Movary?

Nothing else. It is one container with a SQLite database, so there is no separate database service.

Can other people register?

No. Public registration is off and the first-visitor signup page is closed; the administrator adds further users from the Settings pages.

What should I back up?

The movary_storage volume, which holds the SQLite database, logs and the poster cache. Keep APPLICATION_SECRET stable too, since changing it signs everyone out.

Backups in xCloud

Can I import from Letterboxd, Trakt or Netflix?

Yes, Movary supports those imports, limited to about 1 MB per file by the app's built-in web server, so split larger exports into several files.

Where do I change the TMDB key later?

The TMDB_API_KEY set in the environment overrides the one in Settings. Change it in the app's environment, then Save & Redeploy.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Movary?

No. The template pins Movary 0.78.0 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release and existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then bump the readable tag and digest together on your own schedule; Movary migrates its database on start. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.

What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 6 GB?

The template's baseline asks for 1 CPU core, 128 MB of RAM and 2 GB of disk; measured use in QA was about 72 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, which leaves plenty of room above that baseline.

What survives a restart?

Your watch history, ratings and cached posters live on the movary_storage volume and survived an xCloud Restart in QA.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Movary?

No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the Movary project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source Movary project.

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.
