OpenRAG Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy OpenRAG hosting and give your team a private place to upload documents, then search and chat with them. xCloud runs the pinned OpenRAG 0.8.0 images with OpenSearch as the knowledge base, a Langflow editor for the ingestion and chat flows and a Docling document parser, generates the credentials, mounts persistent volumes and publishes both web UIs over HTTPS — you choose the model provider during onboarding.

What is OpenRAG?

OpenRAG is an open-source Retrieval-Augmented Generation platform for document search and AI-powered conversations. You upload, process and query documents through a chat interface backed by large language models and semantic search, and it uses Langflow for document ingestion and retrieval workflows.

It is built with FastAPI and Next.js and powered by OpenSearch, Langflow and Docling. On xCloud those pieces are already hooked up on your own server, behind HTTPS and a generated login.

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

An OpenRAG stack normally means a search cluster, a flow engine, a document parser, a backend, a frontend, generated secrets, volumes, domains and certificates before the first upload. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick OpenRAG from the OneClick catalog. Choose one domain for the OpenRAG UI and one for the Langflow editor — there are no extra fields to fill in.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the pinned OpenRAG frontend and backend, OpenSearch, Docling and Langflow, keep OpenSearch, Docling and the backend private, mount seven named volumes, generate the passwords and publish both UIs over HTTPS. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the first start.

  3. Step 03

    Pick A Model And Upload

    Save the OpenRAG and Langflow usernames and passwords from the installation credentials, open your HTTPS OpenRAG URL and sign in. Choose a model provider and enter its API key on the onboarding screen, then upload your first document and ask it a question.

Everything OpenRAG Does, On Your Own Server

OpenRAG runs in full here: a web UI for uploading, searching and chatting with documents, with the flows behind it open to edit.

  • Search And Chat Over Your Documents

    Upload documents, then search them or chat with them from one web UI backed by large language models and semantic search.

  • Editable Langflow Flows

    Ingestion and chat run as Langflow flows you can open and edit in the bundled Langflow editor, which has its own login.

  • Docling Document Parsing

    Documents are parsed by a bundled Docling service and indexed in OpenSearch, which handles messy real-world files.

  • Your Choice Of Model Provider

    Pick a provider such as OpenAI, Anthropic or Ollama during onboarding. Hosted providers need your own API key.

  • Protected By A Generated Login

    OpenRAG has no login of its own by default, so the template puts HTTP Basic with a generated password in front of it. Optional Google sign-in can be enabled in the Environment editor.

  • OpenSearch Knowledge Base

    Your index, database, configuration, signing keys, uploads, flows and Langflow data each live on a persistent named volume.

Everything You Need To Run Your Document Search 24/7

Managed hosting for OpenRAG, so the parts that keep it online are not your problem.

  • OpenRAG 0.8.0 deployed instantly
  • Official images pinned by digest
  • Passwords generated for you
  • OpenSearch, Docling and backend kept private
  • Free SSL certificate
  • Server backups and snapshots
  • Server security updates included
  • 30+ server locations
  • Unused balance refunded

What You Can Do With OpenRAG

  • Ask questions of internal documents

    Upload your files once, then search them or chat with them from one web UI instead of digging through folders.

  • Keep document search on your own server

    The knowledge base, uploads and configuration live on volumes on your server, and you choose which model provider answers.

  • Tune the retrieval pipeline

    Open the bundled Langflow editor to adjust the ingestion and chat flows rather than treating them as a black box.

  • Run local models with Ollama

    Ollama endpoints are supported at onboarding, so a team can point OpenRAG at models it hosts itself.

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?

The OpenRAG address asks for the username and generated password shown in the installation credentials. The Langflow editor, on its own domain, has a separate administrator login.

What runs alongside OpenRAG?

OpenSearch (the knowledge base), Docling (document parsing), Langflow (the flows) and the OpenRAG backend and frontend. OpenSearch, Docling and the backend are private, with no host ports.

Do I need a model provider account?

Yes. You choose a provider during onboarding. Hosted providers need your own API key, and Ollama endpoints are supported.

Why does the first start take so long?

The first start downloads several large images and initialises the search index, so allow 10 to 15 minutes before the page responds.

Is OpenRAG public by default?

No. OpenRAG has no login of its own unless Google sign-in is configured, so this template puts HTTP Basic with a generated password in front of the OpenRAG domain. Everyone who signs in shares one document pool.

Can I use Google sign-in?

Optionally. Set the Google OAuth client ID and secret in the Environment editor and redeploy, with your own Google OAuth client. Google sign-in does not limit which Google accounts may sign in. QA did not drive Google sign-in.

How large can an upload be?

Uploads are accepted up to 512 MB per request. Large files ingest slowly on CPU and run for many minutes.

What should I back up?

All seven named volumes together: opensearch_data, openrag_data, openrag_config, openrag_keys, openrag_documents, openrag_flows and langflow_data. The keys and flows volumes are needed to read the rest. Keep the generated passwords private.

Backups in xCloud

Can I change the generated passwords?

Not the OpenSearch or Langflow passwords: OpenSearch applies its password only when it first starts and OpenRAG logs in to Langflow with the administrator password, so changing either after install breaks the connection.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update OpenRAG?

No. The template pins OpenRAG 0.8.0 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 16 GB?

The template's baseline asks for 4 CPU cores, 8192 MB of RAM and 40 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 5 GB. That is above what the 6 GB tier leaves comfortable, so this page sells the 16 GB tier as the entry rung.

What survives a restart?

Data on the named volumes. In QA, all six containers came back healthy after a restart, an uploaded document was still searchable and the provider settings persisted.

Is xCloud officially partnered with OpenRAG?

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