Open Dronelog Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Open Dronelog hosting and keep your drone flight history on your own server instead of a third-party logbook. xCloud runs the pinned Open Dronelog 3.3.1 container, generates the default profile password and a separate profile-creation password, mounts a persistent volume for your flight databases and publishes the app over HTTPS in minutes.

What is Open Dronelog?

Open Dronelog is an open-source application for analyzing drone flight logs. It imports DJI .txt logs and Litchi and Airdata CSV exports, stores them in a local DuckDB database and presents them as a flight list with per-flight maps, telemetry charts, tags and filters, plus fleet-wide battery and maintenance tracking.

On xCloud it runs as a single container with its data on a persistent volume, behind HTTPS and protected by generated profile passwords, so your flight history stays on a server you control.

From Sign-Up to Your First Imported Flight In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting a flight-log analyzer normally means pulling an image, choosing a volume, generating passwords, setting a body-size limit, and adding a domain and a certificate. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Open Dronelog from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Open Dronelog image as a single container, pinned by immutable digest, mount the drone_data volume for your flight databases, generate the default profile password and the profile-creation password, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Unlock And Import A Flight
Save the two generated passwords from the protected installation credentials, open your HTTPS Open Dronelog URL and unlock the default profile with the Default profile password. Then import your first DJI .txt, Litchi CSV or Airdata CSV log and open it in the flight list.

Everything Open Dronelog Does, On Your Own Server

Open Dronelog runs in full here: import logs, replay flights and track your fleet, with the data in a database on your own server.

DJI, Litchi And Airdata Imports
Import DJI .txt logs plus Litchi and Airdata CSV exports, with automatic unit detection and duplicate protection based on drone serial, battery serial and start time.
Interactive Flight Maps
Follow a flight on 3D terrain with satellite, topographic or OpenStreetMap layers, and replay it at 0.5x to 16x with a live telemetry overlay.
Telemetry Charts
Chart height, speed, battery, cell voltages, attitude, RC signal, GPS and distance-to-home with synchronized drag-to-zoom.
Battery Health And Maintenance
Track per-battery health and cycle counts, see capacity history over time, and set maintenance thresholds with colour-coded progress bars.
Exports And Reports
Export flights as CSV, JSON, GPX or KML, and generate a print-ready A4 HTML flight report that you can save as PDF from the browser.
Password-Protected Profiles
Separate flight data by pilot or fleet in profiles with their own database and uploads; the default profile is locked from first boot and creating profiles needs a second password.

Watch battery health across a fleet
Follow cycle counts and capacity history for each battery, and set maintenance thresholds so service is not forgotten.
Produce regulation-ready reports
Generate a print-ready flight report grouped by day, or export flights as CSV, GPX or KML to share with clients and other tools.

Open Dronelog vs Alternatives

Airdata: A hosted flight-data service; Open Dronelog can import Airdata CSV exports but keeps the analyzed data on a server you control.
DroneLogbook: A hosted drone logbook service; Open Dronelog is open source under AGPL-3.0 and self-hosted.
Litchi: A flight-planning app whose CSV logs Open Dronelog imports; it analyzes logs rather than flying missions.
DJI flight logs on their own: Raw DJI .txt logs are hard to read directly; Open Dronelog parses them into maps, charts and filters.

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.

How do I sign in after deployment?

Unlock the default profile with the Default profile password shown in the protected installation credentials. The default profile is locked from first boot, and unauthenticated API calls are rejected.

Who can create extra profiles?

Anyone holding the Profile creation password, which xCloud generates separately. Always set a password on every new profile: upstream creates a passwordless profile otherwise, and it becomes the globally active profile, exposing its data without authentication.

Which flight log formats can I import?

DJI .txt logs, Litchi CSV and Airdata CSV exports. Duplicate imports are skipped using the drone serial, battery serial and start time.

What runs alongside Open Dronelog?

Nothing. It is a single container with no separate database service; flight data lives in DuckDB files on the drone_data volume.

Can I use my own DJI developer key?

Yes. Open Dronelog ships with a bundled shared key, and you can set your own DJI developer SDK key in the environment settings and redeploy.

Can I upload very large logs?

Typical logs import fine and the origin allows uploads up to 200 MB. Very large uploads through a Cloudflare-proxied domain can hit Cloudflare's roughly 100 second origin timeout or body-size limits, so do not rely on the 200 MB limit there.

What should I back up?

The drone_data volume, which holds the flight databases, configuration, cached keys, profile password hashes and retained uploads. Back it up while the container is stopped, and keep both generated passwords private.

Backups in xCloud

What survives a restart?

Flights, profiles and the active-profile state on the drone_data volume were still present after an xCloud Restart in QA.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Open Dronelog?

No. The template pins Open Dronelog 3.3.1 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release and existing sites are not upgraded automatically. To upgrade, read the upstream release notes, back up first, then bump the readable tag and digest together. 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 5 GB of disk; measured use in QA was about 36 to 80 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, which leaves plenty of headroom for a growing flight archive.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Open Dronelog?

No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the Open Dronelog project has been verified, and the project is independent of DJI, Litchi and Airdata. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source 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.
