OpenPanel Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Track events, funnels, retention and cohorts without routing customer data through a third-party vendor. OpenPanel serves its dashboard and tracking API from the same domain, so events are first-party from the first pageview — and xCloud configures the pinned 2.3.0 images alongside private PostgreSQL, ClickHouse and Redis services and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes, ready for the first owner account.

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

Self-hosting product analytics normally means seven containers, three databases, a domain and a certificate before a single event is tracked. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick OpenPanel from the OneClick catalog. Enter a site title and domain — there are no configuration fields to fill in, the template generates the cookie secret and the PostgreSQL and Redis credentials automatically.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the dashboard, API and worker images alongside private PostgreSQL, ClickHouse and Redis services, all pinned by immutable digest, mount all three persistent volumes and publish OpenPanel over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Register The Owner And Track An Event

    Open /onboarding on your new domain and register the first account — OpenPanel always allows this first registration through, making you the owner. Create a workspace and project, copy the generated tracking snippet onto a site you own, and confirm the event appears under Realtime or Events.

Everything OpenPanel Does, On Your Own Server

OpenPanel runs in full here — self-hosted product and web analytics, on infrastructure you control.

  • Events, Funnels And Retention

    Track events, funnels, retention, cohorts and profiles from a single dashboard instead of a vendor's shared platform.

  • First-Party Tracking API

    The dashboard and tracking API share one origin, served at /api on your own domain — not a third party's.

  • Live Realtime View

    Watch traffic as it happens — the Realtime view streams over WebSockets on the same origin.

  • Domain-Locked Ingestion

    Event ingestion is locked to a project's configured domain; a request with no client id, or from any other origin, is refused.

  • Private By Default

    PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Redis, the API and the worker stay off the public internet — only the gateway is published, over xCloud-managed HTTPS.

  • Three Volumes, Fully Persistent

    Accounts and configuration in PostgreSQL, event history in ClickHouse, and session/queue state in Redis all survive a restart.

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.

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is OpenPanel?

OpenPanel is a free, open-source, self-hosted product and web analytics platform — an open-source alternative to Mixpanel — with events, funnels, retention, cohorts, profiles and a live dashboard. This template deploys version 2.3.0.

Is OpenPanel free?

Yes — OpenPanel is free and open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3 (AGPL-3.0). What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the application itself.

Is this the same as the hosted openpanel.dev service?

No. This deploys the self-hosted OpenPanel, an open-source codebase you run yourself — not the hosted openpanel.dev service.

Can I self-host OpenPanel?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the dashboard, API and worker images alongside private PostgreSQL, ClickHouse and Redis services, all pinned by immutable digest, mounts three persistent volumes and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.

How do I sign in?

There is no default account or generated password. Open /onboarding on your domain after installation and register the first account yourself — OpenPanel always lets this first registration through and makes you the owner.

Can other people register an account?

Not by default. The template ships with ALLOW_REGISTRATION=false, and OpenPanel closes public sign-up automatically the moment the owner account exists — a second registration attempt is rejected server-side. The owner can still invite teammates, since ALLOW_INVITATION=true.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The cookie secret, the PostgreSQL and Redis passwords, all three persistent volumes, the domain and the HTTPS route. Only the gateway is published through xCloud-managed ingress — the dashboard, API, worker, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse and Redis stay private.

Does OpenPanel send invitation or password-reset emails?

No, not initially. SMTP is deployment-specific, so this template ships without it — invitations, password resets and notifications are written to the API container log until you set SMTP_HOST, SMTP_PORT, SMTP_USER, SMTP_PASS and EMAIL_SENDER (or RESEND_API_KEY) in the Environment editor and redeploy.

What should I back up?

All three volumes together, from one coordinated window: openpanel_postgres_data (accounts, organizations, projects and configuration), openpanel_clickhouse_data (events, sessions and profiles) and openpanel_redis_data (session and queue state). Treat them as one application-consistent set.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update OpenPanel?

No. The template pins OpenPanel and its dependency images by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review OpenPanel's release notes and back up all three volumes before updating an existing installation — the API runs its database migrations on every start, so a rollback can require restoring the pre-upgrade volumes.

How do I rotate the PostgreSQL or Redis password?

Change the credential inside PostgreSQL or Redis first, then update the matching value in the Environment editor and redeploy — not the other way around.

What are the server requirements, and why the 16 GB tier?

The template manifest asks for 3072 MB of RAM as a floor — chosen because a nominal 4 GB VPS reports around 3910 MB to the server monitor, and a 4096 MB floor would reject every real 4 GB server. Measured on a QA install, the seven containers used 2258 MB resident at idle with one project and three events, before any real event volume, ClickHouse merges or retention — which is why this page sells the 16 GB tier rather than the 6 GB tier lighter OneClick apps use.

Are the queue monitor, AI assistant or Slack integration included?

No. The queue monitor (Bull Board) is disabled in this template because it would need a second hostname. The in-app AI assistant and Slack integration are optional OpenPanel features that require your own third-party API keys and bill separately — neither is configured here.

Is xCloud officially partnered with OpenPanel?

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