What is OmniRoute?

OmniRoute is a self-hosted AI gateway: it puts one OpenAI-compatible API in front of the model providers you configure, with provider routing, a management dashboard, usage analytics and encrypted credential storage. Run on your own server, a self-hosted OmniRoute is an alternative to a hosted routing service such as OpenRouter, with the code under the MIT licence. The gateway holds your provider credentials and sees the prompts that pass through it, so it belongs on a server you control.

On xCloud it is OmniRoute 3.8.49 from the upstream image, pinned by digest, with embedded SQLite on the omniroute_data volume. xCloud generates an initial admin password and the encryption secrets, and serves the dashboard and /v1 API from one HTTPS origin. The template omits upstream's optional Redis, Qdrant and browser profiles.

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

An OmniRoute install means a container, a data volume, five generated secrets, a domain and a certificate before the first request is routed. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick OmniRoute from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server; the install form has no secret fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start diegosouzapw/omniroute:3.8.49, pinned by digest, mount the omniroute_data volume for its embedded SQLite database, generate the dashboard password and encryption secrets, and publish it over HTTPS.
Step 03
Create Your First API Key
Sign in with the generated Initial Admin Password, keep Require API Key on, add a provider connection you are authorised to use, then create a client API key and point an OpenAI-compatible client at your /v1 URL.

OpenAI-Compatible LLM Proxy: OmniRoute On Your Own Server

OmniRoute runs in full here: the gateway, dashboard and API on a domain you control, with the keys stored on a server you own.

One OpenAI-Compatible Endpoint
Point any OpenAI-compatible client at https://your-domain/v1 with a client API key, and OmniRoute forwards the request to the provider you configured.
Provider Routing And Fallback
Route requests across the provider connections you add, with fallback between them, instead of hard-coding one vendor into every client.
Usage Analytics Dashboard
The management dashboard reports how the gateway is being used, so you can review request activity in one place instead of in each client.
Encrypted Credential Storage
Provider credentials and client keys are stored encrypted, using secrets that xCloud generates at install and that you keep with your backups.
Client API Keys Required
The template keeps Require API Key on, so /v1 only answers callers that present a key you created in the dashboard.
Embedded SQLite, No Sidecars
State lives in embedded SQLite on one volume. The template leaves out upstream's Redis, Qdrant and browser profiles to keep the baseline small.

What You Can Do With OmniRoute

Give every tool one AI endpoint
Point your editors, scripts and chat clients at a single /v1 URL, so changing provider is a dashboard edit rather than a change in every client.
Keep provider keys off laptops
Store provider credentials once on your server, encrypted, and hand your team revocable client API keys instead of the real ones.
Route around one provider's limits
Add several provider connections and let OmniRoute fall back between them when one cannot serve a request, for a team that depends on steady access.
See what your AI traffic costs and does
Open the usage dashboard to review how your AI requests are being used, so a team can spot heavy use early.

OmniRoute vs Alternatives

OpenRouter: As a self-hosted alternative to OpenRouter, OmniRoute runs on your server and uses the provider credentials you add yourself, with the dashboard and /v1 API on your domain.
Portkey: OmniRoute is a self-hosted alternative to Portkey for teams that want the gateway, key store and analytics on their own VPS, under the MIT licence.
LiteLLM: In an OmniRoute vs LiteLLM comparison, both are self-hosted gateways with an OpenAI-compatible API; this template runs OmniRoute's dashboard, usage analytics and /v1 API from one container.
Langfuse: Langfuse has its own OneClick page. It is a separate tool you can run on the same server; OmniRoute is the gateway that sits in the request path.

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.

I use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is OmniRoute an OpenAI-compatible API?

Yes. OmniRoute exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint at /v1 on your domain. Create a client API key in the dashboard, then supply it as a Bearer token from any client that lets you set a custom base URL.

How do I set the OmniRoute admin password?

You do not choose it at install. xCloud generates an Initial Admin Password and shows it in the credentials panel next to the dashboard URL. Sign in with it; changing it inside OmniRoute later is not undone by editing INITIAL_PASSWORD.

Is it safe to store provider API keys in OmniRoute?

Stored provider credentials and client keys are encrypted with secrets xCloud generates, API-key reveal stays disabled and the container runs as a non-root user. The gateway still sees your prompts, so add only credentials you are authorised to use.

How much RAM does OmniRoute need?

The manifest floor is 1024 MB of RAM, one core and 4 GB of disk; the upstream image sets a 1 GB Node heap. The 6 GB plan sits above that, but many providers, long streams or a large usage history need more.

Can you self-host OmniRoute with Docker?

Yes. This template is OmniRoute Docker hosting without the Compose work: the diegosouzapw/omniroute:3.8.49 image pinned by digest, one omniroute_data volume, generated secrets, a localhost-bound port behind the xCloud proxy and HTTPS on your own domain.

Is OmniRoute open source?

Yes. OmniRoute's code carries the MIT licence, so there is nothing to license. You pay for the Cloud VPS that runs it, which makes this an OmniRoute cloud of your own, plus whatever your chosen model providers charge.

How do I back up OmniRoute?

Back up the whole omniroute_data volume, which holds the SQLite database, settings, encrypted credentials, client keys and usage history. Keep the generated STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY, API_KEY_SECRET and JWT_SECRET with it, and stop writes first, since a raw copy during writes may be inconsistent.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade OmniRoute?

The install stays on its pinned 3.8.49 image until you adopt a newer template version. Back up omniroute_data and the generated secrets first, then read the upstream migrations and release notes. Nothing upgrades the gateway automatically.

Does the OmniRoute template include Redis or a vector database?

No. The template runs one container with embedded SQLite and omits upstream's Redis, Qdrant and Bifrost profiles, plus browser tooling, provider CLIs and the Docker socket. It suits ordinary API keys and approved OAuth integrations.

Can I run other apps on the same server?

Yes. It is a dedicated Cloud VPS, so you can deploy other OneClick apps beside the gateway, such as an LLM chat interface, as long as the server has the RAM and disk left for both.

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.
