Mydia Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Mydia hosting on xCloud gives you a self-hosted movie and TV library manager on your own domain. Deploy Mydia and xCloud runs the pinned official image as one container with its built-in SQLite database, creates the admin account with a generated password, publishes it over HTTPS, and keeps config, data and your media library on persistent volumes. Sign in, add your library paths, and connect your own download client and indexer.

What is Mydia?

Self-hosted Mydia is an open-source, self-hosted media management platform for tracking, organizing and monitoring your movies and TV shows. It is built with Phoenix LiveView, tracks a library, searches indexers, hands releases to a download client, imports finished files and plays them from the browser or the Mydia player apps. Upstream warns it is in early development, so expect breaking changes. It is AGPL-3.0 licensed, and it is a self-hosted alternative to Plex for managing a library.

On xCloud the template runs ghcr.io/getmydia/mydia 0.16.0, the SQLite build pinned by digest, as one container with an embedded job queue and bundled ffmpeg. Volumes hold config, data and media. The template ships no download client or indexer, so you add your own, and you should only handle content you are entitled to.

From Sign-Up to a Live Media Library In Just 3 Easy Steps

A Mydia server normally means a container, secrets, volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first movie is tracked. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Mydia from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Mydia container, pinned by immutable digest, with its database and ffmpeg built in, mount the mydia_config, mydia_data and mydia_media volumes, generate the administrator password and signing secrets, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In And Add A Library
Save the generated administrator password from the protected installation credentials, open your HTTPS Mydia URL and sign in as admin. Change the password, add a download client and an indexer under Settings, then add a library path.

A Movie And TV Library App: Everything Mydia Does

Mydia runs in full here: a web interface for tracking and playing your movies and TV shows, on your own domain, with the library on volumes you own.

Movies And TV In One Place
Track and organize a movie and TV library from a single web interface, with TMDB and TVDB metadata.
Download Clients And Indexers
Connect a download client such as qBittorrent, Transmission, SABnzbd or NZBGet and an indexer such as Prowlarr or Jackett under Settings.
Release Ranking And Upgrades
Search ranks releases by your quality profile and languages, and an upgrade must beat your current file by the profile's margin before it replaces it.
Play In The Browser Or The Player
Play media from the browser at /player, or use the Mydia player apps for Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and Linux.
Multi-User With Roles
Admin and guest roles with a request workflow, plus optional OpenID Connect sign-in that you enable in the environment file.
Scan Existing Files
Scan existing files in the library path and import them as library items.

Watch from any device
Stream from the browser at /player or from the Mydia player apps over an encrypted peer-to-peer connection.

Mydia vs Alternatives

Radarr: Radarr manages movies as its own application with its own OneClick page. Mydia vs Radarr: Mydia tracks movies and TV shows together and also plays them from the browser.
Sonarr: Sonarr is a separate TV series manager with its own OneClick page. Mydia vs Sonarr: Mydia covers both TV shows and movies in the same interface.
Jellyfin: Jellyfin is a media server for streaming a library, with its own OneClick page. Mydia manages and plays the library, and its player can also browse Jellyfin servers, which upstream marks experimental.
Plex: Plex is a media server for streaming a library. As a Mydia alternative to Plex, you get an open source AGPL-3.0 manager and server on your own domain, and its player can also browse Plex servers.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is Mydia free and open source?

Yes. Mydia is licensed AGPL-3.0, so the software has no licence fee and its source is public. Upstream says it is in early development, so expect breaking changes between releases. You pay xCloud for the dedicated Cloud VPS, and the template adds no paid tier.

Can I run Mydia with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Mydia Docker hosting without the assembly. It starts the ghcr.io/getmydia/mydia 0.16.0 SQLite image, pinned by digest, as one container, proxies port 4000 behind HTTPS and mounts the mydia_config, mydia_data and mydia_media volumes.

How much RAM does Mydia need?

The manifest asks for 512 MB of RAM, one CPU core and 10 GB of disk, and the template README says to allow 1 GB or more while ffmpeg transcodes. This page sells the 6 GB Cloud VPS for a Mydia cloud install. Size the disk for your whole library.

Who creates the Mydia administrator?

The template does. Mydia has no environment-based admin bootstrap, so the container creates the user admin with a generated password once the app answers, only when no user exists yet. Sign in with the installation credentials and change the password in the app.

Does Mydia include a download client?

No. The template ships no download client and no indexer. Add a client such as qBittorrent, Transmission or SABnzbd, and an indexer, under Settings, then make the client's completed-downloads folder reachable from the media path. Handle only content you are entitled to.

Can I stream from Mydia?

Yes. Upstream describes playing from the browser or from the Mydia player apps. The player works through your HTTPS domain, and its own self-signed listener is not published. Setting the player option to false removes the player, streaming and peer-to-peer access.

Does Mydia make outbound requests?

Yes, at default settings. It contacts its metadata relay, public-IP detection services and peer-to-peer relays for the player, though no inbound port needs opening. You can switch off the public-IP lookups, or the player entirely, in the Environment editor.

How do I back up Mydia?

Back up mydia_config for the database, peer-to-peer identity and certificate, mydia_data for application data and mydia_media for your library and downloads. Stop the container before copying for a consistent SQLite snapshot, keep an off-server copy, and test a restore.

Backup and Restore Docker Apps

How do I update Mydia?

Your install stays on its pinned 0.16.0 version until you adopt a newer template version. Back up the volumes first and read the upstream release notes, since upstream warns of breaking changes in 0.x releases. Afterwards sign in and open a library item.

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.
