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.

  • No terminal
  • No technical skills needed
  • No lock-in, cancel anytime

What is OliveTin?

OliveTin is a web interface for running predefined shell commands with one click. You define actions in a config file, and people with a login see them as buttons, run them and read the output in an execution dialog, with a REST API for triggering the same actions from other tools.

This template runs it as a single container with a generated admin login. Anyone who can sign in can run every configured action, so add actions and users with care.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

What You Can Do With OliveTin

  • Let teammates run approved tasks

    Give non-technical colleagues a button for a routine command instead of shell access.

  • Check on a server from a browser

    Start with the bundled disk-space action, then add the status checks your team reaches for most.

  • Trigger actions from other tools

    Call the REST API from a script or another system to start an action.

  • Keep an audit trail of runs

    Read the execution logs to see what each action printed when it ran.

OliveTin vs Alternatives

Rundeck
Rundeck is a larger job scheduler and runbook automation platform, while OliveTin is a small, single-container dashboard of predefined commands.
Semaphore UI
Semaphore UI is a web interface for running 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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How do I sign in?

Use the admin username and the generated password from the installation credentials.

Can it control my server?

No. Actions run as an unprivileged user inside the OliveTin container; no Docker socket or host access is mounted.

Can I add my own actions?

Yes, by editing config.yaml in the config volume. Copy it out of the container, edit it, copy it back and restore its ownership; OliveTin reloads it automatically.

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

The admin login is created once on first start, so changing the credentials in the environment later does not change it. Edit config.yaml instead.

What runs alongside OliveTin?

Nothing. It is a single container with no database or sidecar.

Who can run the actions?

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.

What should I back up?

The olivetin_config volume, as one unit. It holds config.yaml, entities, themes and login sessions.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update OliveTin?

No. The template pins OliveTin 3000.20.0 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release, 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. 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, 256 MB of RAM and 2 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 4 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with OliveTin?

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