Open Source Point of Sale Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Open Source Point of Sale hosting on xCloud gives your shop a self-hosted point of sale system that rings up sales, manages stock and runs reports from any browser. Deploy Open Source Point of Sale from the OneClick catalog and xCloud launches the pinned image next to a private MariaDB, replaces the public demo password with a generated one, mounts four persistent volumes and publishes the register over HTTPS on your domain.

What is Open Source Point of Sale?

Open Source Point of Sale is a web-based point of sale system written in PHP, using MySQL or MariaDB as its data store. Its README lists stock management, taxation, a sale register with transaction logging, quotations and invoicing, expenses, cash up, barcode generation, customers and suppliers, multiuser permission control and reports. Self-hosted Open Source Point of Sale is a self-hosted point of sale system you run on your own server instead of a hosted register service. The licence is MIT plus extra terms that keep the footer signature visible.

On xCloud this template deploys version 3.4.1 as the official image, pinned by digest and built for linux/amd64 only, beside a private MariaDB 10.5. Four volumes hold the database, item pictures and logo, other uploads and logs, and HTTPS is on your domain. The seeded admin account gets a generated password, and the upstream demo password is rejected.

From Sign-Up to a Live Point of Sale In Just 3 Easy Steps

Running a point of sale yourself means a web host, a database, a domain and a safe admin password before the first sale. This is the same result without the setup.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick Open Source Point of Sale from the OneClick catalog and choose a domain. Keep the generated admin password.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up Point of Sale 3.4.1 with MariaDB 10.5, publish it over HTTPS and store your data on persistent volumes.
Step 03
Set Up Your Shop
Sign in as admin, set your timezone under Config → Locale, then add company details, taxes and your first items.

What You Can Do With Open Source Point of Sale

Run a small shop's till from the browser
A shop owner rings up sales on the sale register from a browser, prints or emails receipts, and signs in with the generated admin password instead of the public demo one.
Keep stock and suppliers in one place
A retailer tracks items, kits, customers and suppliers, records receivings, and checks inventory status in the reports, with item pictures stored on a persistent volume.
Give cashiers limited permissions
A manager creates employee accounts with permission control, so cashiers can ring up sales while reports and configuration stay with the administrator.
Quote and invoice customers from the same system
A trade counter prepares quotations and invoices for customers, applies VAT or GST settings, and logs expenses and cash up alongside the sales data.

Open Source Point of Sale vs Alternatives

Square: Open Source Point of Sale is software you host yourself, so the sales data sits in a MariaDB volume you control. This template adds no payment processing of its own, and this page makes no claim about Square.
Floreant POS: Floreant POS would be a separate install. This template runs Open Source Point of Sale, a browser-based register with stock, reports and, per its README, restaurant tables.
UniCenta oPOS: UniCenta oPOS would be a different server. Pick this template when you want Open Source Point of Sale's web-based register on a Cloud VPS, reached by staff from a browser over HTTPS.
ERPNext: ERPNext has its own OneClick page. This template is a focused register for sales, stock, receipts and reports: one application container with a private MariaDB and a schema helper.

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 Open Source Point of Sale free?

Yes. It is MIT-licensed software with extra terms: the copyright claim is restricted and the footer signature must stay visible, so keep the Open Source Point of Sale footer unmodified. The licence is linked from this page at the pinned 3.4.1 tag. The xCloud bill is only for the server.

Can you run Open Source Point of Sale with Docker?

Yes, and this Open Source Point of Sale Docker hosting template does it for you: the official jekkos/opensourcepos image, a MariaDB 10.5 container and a schema helper, pinned by digest, run under Docker Compose on your own server, not an Open Source Point of Sale cloud account. The image is linux/amd64 only.

How much RAM does Open Source Point of Sale need?

The template manifest asks for 384 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 5 GB of disk as a floor, and peak use for the whole stack measured about 172 MB. Larger catalogues, concurrent registers and image libraries need more. For OSPOS hosting this page sells the 6 GB tier, which leaves ample headroom.

What is the default OSPOS login?

There is no usable default. The username is admin, and the upstream demo password is rejected: the template replaces it on first boot with a generated 24-character password from the credentials panel. The first sign-in runs a database update and returns to the login page, so sign in again.

Does OSPOS support barcodes and receipt printing?

Upstream's README lists barcode generation and printing, and printing and emailing of receipts, invoices and quotations. Emailing needs SMTP, which this template does not configure by default, so set up mail in the app or the environment first. Hardware such as printers is outside what xCloud provides.

Can OSPOS handle multiple users with permissions?

Yes. Upstream lists multiuser support with permission control, so you can create employee accounts with different rights. Change the seeded admin password from the employee profile before taking payments, because editing ADMIN_PASSWORD in the environment later has no effect on the stored account.

How do I back up OSPOS?

Include four volumes in one backup: ospos_db (MariaDB, with employees, sales and sessions), ospos_public_uploads (item pictures and logo), ospos_writable_uploads and ospos_logs. Use a consistent MariaDB dump plus copies of the file volumes, keep them off the server, and test a restore.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade OSPOS?

Upgrades are manual. The template pins release 3.4.1 and its matching schema image by digest, and Docker Hub tags such as latest or master are different images. Back up all volumes, read the upstream notes, adopt a newer template version when one is published, then confirm login, items and uploads.

Can OSPOS run on ARM or a Raspberry Pi?

Not with this template: the pinned 3.4.1 image publishes linux/amd64 only, so it will not run on an ARM server. xCloud's Cloud VPS plans on this page are standard servers, so the image runs there. Do not expect a Raspberry Pi to work with these pins.

Why are OSPOS sale times in the wrong timezone?

The app keeps its own timezone in the database, seeded as America/New_York, separate from the PHP timezone field in the install form. Sales, receipts and reports use the app timezone, so set it under Config, Locale after first sign-in, or sale times are recorded in New York time.

What do I need to know about security and sign-in?

Anonymous visitors are sent to the login page, and HTTP redirects to HTTPS. QA noted the session cookie is not flagged Secure and the PHP version header is exposed, which is upstream behaviour, so this page claims no hardened cookies. Change the admin password after first 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.
