OliveTin Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy OliveTin hosting and give your team a login-protected control panel for routine shell commands. xCloud runs the pinned OliveTin 3000.20.0 image as a single container, creates the admin login with a generated password, keeps config.yaml and login sessions on a persistent volume and publishes the dashboard over HTTPS in minutes — commands run inside the OliveTin container only, with no Docker socket or host access.

What is OliveTin?

OliveTin gives safe and simple access to predefined shell commands from a web interface, in upstream's words. You define actions in a YAML config file, and people with a login see them as buttons, run them and read the output in an execution dialog. The interface is touch-friendly, works on tablets and phones, and there is a REST API for starting the same actions from other tools. A self-hosted OliveTin is written in Go and released under the AGPL-3.0 licence, with no paid tiers or telemetry.

On xCloud the template runs OliveTin 3000.20.0 as a single container from the official image, pinned by digest, with no database or sidecar. The admin login is created once, with a generated password stored as an Argon2id hash, and two starter actions are included. Commands run as an unprivileged user inside the container; no Docker socket or host access is mounted.

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

A shell-command dashboard normally means a container, a hashed admin login, a config volume, a domain and a certificate before the first button works. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick OliveTin from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then set the admin username (default admin) — the password is generated for you.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned OliveTin image as a single container, store the admin login as an Argon2id hash in config.yaml, mount the olivetin_config volume and publish the dashboard over HTTPS on your domain. There is no database or sidecar.
Step 03
Open It And Sign In
Save the admin password from the protected installation credentials, open your HTTPS OliveTin URL and sign in. Run the starter "Say hello" or "Check disk space" action, then add your own actions in config.yaml.

Everything OliveTin Does, On Your Own Server

OliveTin runs in full here: a browser dashboard of approved commands on your own domain, behind a login.

One-Click Command Buttons
Turn routine shell commands into buttons, so non-technical teammates can run approved tasks without shell access.
Login Required
Visitors who are not signed in cannot see or run anything; wrong passwords and guests were rejected in verification.
Execution Dialogs And Logs
Every action opens a dialog with its output, so you can see what ran and what it printed.
REST API
Trigger actions from other tools through OliveTin's REST API.
Contained By Design
Actions run as an unprivileged user inside the OliveTin container; no Docker socket or host access is mounted.
Config That Survives Restarts
config.yaml, entities, themes and login sessions live in the olivetin_config volume and persist across an xCloud Restart.

OliveTin vs Alternatives

Rundeck: Rundeck is a larger job scheduler and runbook automation platform. In an OliveTin alternative to Rundeck comparison, OliveTin is a small single-container dashboard of the predefined commands you define.
Semaphore UI: Semaphore UI has its own OneClick page. In an OliveTin vs Semaphore UI comparison, Semaphore is a web interface for automation tools such as Ansible, while OliveTin runs the plain shell commands you define.
SSH and shell scripts: Plain SSH needs a shell account for each person, while OliveTin exposes only the actions you define behind a login, which suits teammates who should not have full shell access.
Commercial automation platforms: Upstream says OliveTin has no core, pro, premium or enterprise edition, so every feature is in the version you deploy and nothing sits behind a paid tier.

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 OliveTin free?

Yes. OliveTin is AGPL-3.0 software, and upstream says it has no paid tiers, tracking or telemetry. The Cloud VPS is the only line on your bill, and it also runs whatever commands you wire into the dashboard.

How much RAM does OliveTin need?

The manifest asks for 256 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 2 GB of disk, and QA saw about 4 MiB idle, which is tiny. The 6 GB tier is more than the dashboard needs; what matters is the resources your own actions consume when they run.

Can you self-host OliveTin with Docker?

Yes, and this template is OliveTin Docker hosting without the setup: the official 3000.20.0 image pinned by digest as one container, a generated admin login, the olivetin_config volume mounted and HTTPS on your domain. There is no database or sidecar.

How do I add actions to OliveTin?

Edit config.yaml in the olivetin_config volume: copy it out of the container, edit it, copy it back and restore its ownership to uid 1000. OliveTin reloads the file when it changes. Extra users are added the same way, not from a UI.

Is OliveTin secure?

Visitors who are not signed in cannot see or run anything, and the admin password is stored as an Argon2id hash. Anyone who can sign in can run every configured action, so add actions and users with care and give extra users only the access they need.

Can OliveTin control my server?

No. Actions run as an unprivileged user inside the OliveTin container, and no Docker socket or host access is mounted. The image ships docker, kubectl, ssh, git, apprise and jq clients, so actions can reach other systems you configure.

Does OliveTin have an API?

Yes. Upstream describes a REST and Connect RPC API, so scripts and other tools can start the same actions the buttons run. Sign-in is still required, so the API is not open to anonymous callers on this install.

How do I back up OliveTin?

Back up the whole olivetin_config volume as one unit. It holds config.yaml, entities, themes and login sessions, so a copy restores your actions, users and sessions together. Nothing schedules the copy, so run it yourself.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade OliveTin?

You stay on OliveTin 3000.20.0 until you adopt a newer template version. Copy olivetin_config first, since config.yaml holds your actions and users, and read upstream's notes. Update checks are off, so nothing prompts or performs an upgrade for you.

Why doesn't changing the admin password in the environment work?

The admin login is created once on first start, so editing the credentials in the environment later changes nothing. Change the stored hash in config.yaml instead, generating a new Argon2id hash for the password you want.

Is there an OliveTin cloud service I can use?

This page is your own OliveTin cloud: a dedicated Cloud VPS running the open-source dashboard, with your config on a volume you control. It is a private instance, not a shared service, and you decide which commands appear.

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.
