Ombi Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Ombi hosting and give your users a request portal for movies and TV shows on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned Ombi 4.53.10 LinuxServer image as a single container on SQLite, keeps settings, users and databases on a persistent config volume and publishes the portal over HTTPS in minutes — ready for you to connect Plex, Emby or Jellyfin and Sonarr or Radarr.

What is Ombi?

Ombi is a self-hosted media request portal; upstream calls it a friendly media request tool that automatically syncs with your media servers. Your users sign in, search for movies and TV shows and request what is missing from your library, and you approve those requests or auto-approve them and hand them to Sonarr or Radarr. Ombi notifies the requester when the title is available and connects to Plex, Emby and Jellyfin. Run on your own server it is a self-hosted Ombi, released under GPL-2.0.

On xCloud the template runs Ombi 4.53.10 as the LinuxServer image pinned by digest, a single container on SQLite with settings, users and databases on the ombi_config volume. There is no preset administrator: you finish the setup wizard to create it. No media server is bundled; you connect your own Plex, Emby or Jellyfin.

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

An Ombi install normally means a container, a config volume, a timezone, a domain and a certificate before the setup wizard. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Ombi from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server and set the Timezone (IANA name, default UTC).
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the LinuxServer Ombi image, pinned by immutable digest, as a single container with no other services, mount the ombi_config volume and publish it over HTTPS on your domain. The first start takes a minute or two while Ombi creates its databases.
Step 03
Finish The Setup Wizard
Open your HTTPS URL and finish the setup wizard right away, creating the administrator account with a strong password. Then, under Settings, connect your media server and, if you use them, Sonarr, Radarr and notification agents.

Everything Ombi Does, On Your Own Server

Ombi runs in full here: a request portal on your own domain, with its databases on a volume you own.

Requests Instead Of Messages
Let users request movies and TV shows instead of messaging you.
Approve And Hand Off

SQLite, Nothing Else To Run
There is no separate database service to manage.
Settings Survive A Restart
Settings, users and databases live on the ombi_config volume; verification confirmed users and settings remained after a restart.

Ombi vs Alternatives

Seerr: Seerr, formerly Jellyseerr, has its own OneClick page. In an Ombi vs Seerr comparison, both are request portals for Plex, Jellyfin and Emby libraries with Sonarr and Radarr integration, so check which one your media server and workflow suit.
Jellyseerr: Jellyseerr is the earlier name of the project now called Seerr. As an Ombi alternative to Jellyseerr, Ombi keeps its requests, users and settings in an embedded SQLite database on the ombi_config volume.
Adding titles by hand in Sonarr or Radarr: Only the library owner can add titles there; Ombi lets users request and hands approved requests to Sonarr or Radarr.
Messaging the server owner: Requests by chat get lost; Ombi keeps them in one portal with approvals and notifications to the requester.

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 Ombi free?

Yes. Ombi is GPL-2.0 software, so there is no licence fee and no per-requester charge. You pay for the Cloud VPS that holds the ombi_config volume with its SQLite databases, while the media server you connect is a separate matter.

How much RAM does Ombi need?

The manifest floor is 512 MB RAM, one core and 2 GB disk; Ombi itself sat near 139 MiB idle in QA. The 6 GB tier leaves space on the same server for a media server or the Sonarr and Radarr containers you hand requests to.

Can you self-host Ombi with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Ombi Docker hosting without the setup: the LinuxServer 4.53.10 image pinned by digest as one container on SQLite, the ombi_config volume mounted, a timezone you choose and HTTPS on your own domain. There is no database sidecar.

Does Ombi work with Plex, Emby and Jellyfin?

Yes. Ombi connects to Plex, Emby and Jellyfin and hands approved requests to Sonarr and Radarr, all configured under Settings after the wizard. No media server is bundled, so you connect the one you already run.

What is the difference between Ombi and Seerr?

Both are request portals for Plex, Jellyfin and Emby libraries with Sonarr and Radarr integration, and Seerr has its own OneClick page here. Compare their notification options and media-server support against your setup before choosing.

Seerr hosting

Is Ombi secure to expose to the internet?

Only after setup. Until the wizard is finished, anyone who can reach the site can claim the administrator account, and the wizard accepts a very short password. Afterwards every page and API call except sign-in and health endpoints needs a login.

How do I sign in to Ombi the first time?

There is no preset account. Open the HTTPS URL and finish the setup wizard straight away; the account you create becomes the administrator. Choose a strong password, and consider Basic Auth at your proxy, which the template does not enable.

How do I back up Ombi?

Back up the complete ombi_config volume, which holds the SQLite databases, database.json and logs, while Ombi is stopped or quiet. Treat it as sensitive, because media-server tokens, Sonarr and Radarr API keys and SMTP passwords live there.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Ombi?

You stay on Ombi 4.53.10 until you adopt a newer template version. Copy ombi_config first and read the release notes, and never point an older image at a database that a newer one has already migrated. Nothing upgrades the app for you.

Does Ombi send usage statistics?

Ombi sends anonymous usage statistics by default and has no environment variable to switch that off. You can turn it off inside the app under Settings, Configuration, so check it right after the setup wizard.

Is there an Ombi cloud service I can use?

This page is your own Ombi cloud: a dedicated Cloud VPS running the open-source portal, with requests and settings on a volume you control. It is a private instance rather than a shared service, so you choose who can sign in.

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.
