Nimtable Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Nimtable hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Nimtable, a web console for exploring and managing Apache Iceberg catalogs and tables, with a Spark SQL editor built in. xCloud runs the digest-pinned web console, Java backend and PostgreSQL behind an nginx Basic Auth gateway, generates the gateway and admin logins and publishes it over HTTPS. Your warehouse data stays in your own storage; only catalog metadata and settings sit on the server.

What is Nimtable?

Nimtable is a lightweight web platform for exploring and managing Apache Iceberg catalogs and tables, with a browser console and a REST API. It connects to REST, AWS Glue and S3 Tables catalogs and shows tables, schemas, partitions, snapshots and manifests. A self-hosted Nimtable replaces command-line catalog tooling with an Iceberg catalog console you open in a browser, and it can serve as an Iceberg REST catalog endpoint. It is Apache-2.0 licensed.

On xCloud it is the Nimtable web console and Java backend nightly images, each pinned by digest because upstream publishes no version tags, with PostgreSQL 17 holding users, catalog definitions, schedules and settings in the postgres_data volume. An nginx gateway requires Basic Auth on every path, since the upstream backend API has no authentication of its own. Warehouse data stays in your external storage.

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

Self-hosting Nimtable normally means wiring up its Java backend, a PostgreSQL database, an nginx gateway and a Basic Auth layer before you can browse a single catalog. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Nimtable from the OneClick catalog, then choose a domain. xCloud generates both the gateway login and the admin credentials for you.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We provision the server, bring up the digest-pinned Nimtable web console, its Java backend and PostgreSQL, publish it over HTTPS behind a Basic Auth gateway, and wait for the health check to pass.
Step 03
Start Using It
Save the gateway login and the admin login from your installation credentials, sign in at the browser prompt and as admin, then connect your first Iceberg catalog.

Everything Nimtable Does, For Your Iceberg Lakehouse

Nimtable runs in full here — browse catalogs, inspect metadata and query with Spark SQL, all behind a login gateway on infrastructure you control.

Browse Catalogs And Tables
Explore Iceberg catalogs, namespaces and tables from one web console instead of juggling CLI tools against your lakehouse.
Inspect Schemas And Snapshots
Drill into table schemas, snapshots and manifests to understand exactly what state a table is in before you act on it.
Spark SQL Built In
Run Spark SQL straight from the built-in editor against your connected catalogs — no separate Spark cluster to stand up.
Connect Your Catalogs
REST, JDBC, Glue or S3 Tables catalogs all connect from the same console, and table optimization can be scheduled from there too.
Protected By A Login Gateway
The upstream backend API has no authentication of its own, so the whole site — pages and API alike — sits behind a generated Basic Auth gateway.
Backed By PostgreSQL
Catalog definitions, users and settings persist in a database volume that survived a restart during verification, right alongside your sessions.

Everything You Need To Run Your Iceberg Console 24/7

xCloud runs the server, the gateway and the database container. You keep the catalogs and the warehouse.

What You Can Do With Nimtable

Browse every Iceberg table in one console
Connect REST, Glue or S3 Tables catalogs and let a data engineer open namespaces, tables, schemas and partitions in a browser instead of reading metadata files by hand.
Inspect snapshots and manifests
Check how a table changed between snapshots and how its files are distributed, so a team can spot optimization opportunities before choosing to compact.
Run Spark SQL from the browser
Query a table from the built-in editor, backed by the embedded Spark engine, without setting up a separate client for a quick look at the data.
Give a data team a protected catalog view
Put the whole console behind a gateway login and an in-app admin account, so analysts reach one HTTPS address on your domain and the backend API is never exposed on its own.

Nimtable vs Alternatives

Command-line catalog tools: Instead of working with Iceberg catalogs from a terminal, Nimtable gives a browser console that explores tables, schemas, partitions, snapshots and manifests, with SQL queries from the same page.
ClickHouse: ClickHouse has its own OneClick page. In a Nimtable vs ClickHouse comparison, upstream lists ClickHouse among the query engines for Iceberg tables, while Nimtable is the console that manages the catalogs.
Databricks: Upstream lists Databricks among the query engines that read Iceberg tables. Nimtable is not an engine: it is the console for the catalogs and tables, with an embedded Spark engine for SQL.
Apache Polaris: Upstream lists Apache Polaris among the catalogs Nimtable connects to. Polaris holds the catalog; Nimtable is the web console you use to browse and manage what is in it.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How much RAM does Nimtable need?

The template floor is 2 CPU cores, 2048 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk, because the backend runs an embedded Spark engine with its heap capped at 2 GB. The 6 GB plan clears that floor and leaves room for the database and gateway.

Can you self-host Nimtable with Docker?

Yes, and this template is nimtable docker hosting without the setup: the web console and Java backend images pinned by digest, PostgreSQL 17, an nginx gateway, the postgres_data volume and HTTPS on your own domain, with first boot taking a few minutes.

Which catalogs does Nimtable support?

Upstream documents REST, AWS Glue and S3 Tables catalogs, and the console also adds JDBC catalogs. For AWS-backed catalogs, set the AWS region and access key values in the Environment editor and redeploy, then add the catalog from the console.

Does Nimtable store my Iceberg data on the server?

No. Warehouse data stays in your own external storage, such as object storage. The install keeps only catalog definitions, users, schedules and settings in PostgreSQL, so your tables are not copied onto the Cloud VPS.

Does Nimtable have authentication?

Its web app has an admin sign-in, but upstream's backend API under /api/ has no authentication of its own. xCloud therefore puts an nginx gateway with generated Basic Auth in front of the whole site, so you use two separate logins.

Is a local-path warehouse persistent?

No. A catalog with a local-path warehouse writes inside the backend container, so it survives a restart but is lost when the container is recreated by an image update or redeploy. Use object storage, Glue or a REST catalog for real data.

Is Nimtable free?

Yes. Nimtable is open source under the Apache-2.0 licence, so the software has no licence fee. The Cloud VPS is the only bill, and this Nimtable cloud install runs under your control.

How do I back up Nimtable?

Back up the postgres_data volume, which holds all application state, for example with pg_dump of the Nimtable database. Your Iceberg warehouse lives in your own storage and is not part of this install, so back it up there.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Nimtable?

Upstream publishes only nightly images, so the install stays on its digest-pinned images until you adopt a newer template version. Back up postgres_data first. A redeploy keeps the database volume, and nothing is upgraded automatically.

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.
