Opik Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Opik hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Opik and trace, evaluate and monitor your LLM applications and agents on a server you own. xCloud runs the pinned stack, the web UI and REST API with MySQL, ClickHouse, ZooKeeper, Redis and MinIO on a private network, with generated secrets, persistent volumes and HTTPS on your domain. Opik has no login, so restrict access before sending real data.

What is Opik?

Opik is an open-source LLM observability and evaluation platform from Comet for tracing, evaluating and monitoring LLM applications and agents. It logs LLM calls, nested function calls and multi-step agent traces, and adds datasets, experiments, LLM-as-a-judge metrics, a prompt playground and production dashboards. A self-hosted Opik is an LLM tracing server of your own, an alternative to hosted services such as LangSmith, under the Apache-2.0 licence.

On xCloud it is Opik 2.2.99 from the official Comet images pinned by digest, with MySQL for metadata, ClickHouse and ZooKeeper for traces and analytics, and Redis and MinIO for caching and attachments, all private. Six named volumes hold the data. There are no user accounts: every request is the default user in the default workspace, so you point the SDK at your /api address and restrict access at the proxy.

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

A self-hosted Opik stack normally means a frontend, a backend, a Python backend and five data services, with secrets, volumes and a certificate to match. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Opik 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 Comet frontend, backend and python-backend images with private MySQL, Redis, ClickHouse, ZooKeeper and MinIO services, all pinned by immutable digest and none with host ports, mount the persistent volumes, generate the secrets, and publish the frontend over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Send Your First Trace
Save the encryption key from the protected installation credentials and allow about 5 to 10 minutes for the first boot to run database migrations. Then point the Opik SDK at your SDK URL (your domain plus /api), for example with OPIK_URL_OVERRIDE, and send a trace.

Everything Opik Does, On Your Own Server

Opik runs in full here: tracing, evaluation and a web UI on your own domain, with the data in volumes you own.

Trace LLM Calls And Agents
Trace LLM calls and agent runs from the Opik SDK and read them back in the web UI.
Evaluate Prompts And Models
Use datasets, experiments and feedback scores to evaluate prompts and models.
Provider Keys Encrypted
LLM provider API keys saved in the UI are encrypted with a per-install generated encryption key.
No API Key Needed
Send traces to your own SDK URL with no API key; the workspace is "default".
Usage Reporting Switched Off
Anonymous usage reporting to the vendor is switched off in this template.
Traces Persist
Projects, traces, datasets and attachments live in named volumes. The verify run restarted every container and a trace written earlier was still returned by the API and shown in the UI.

Everything You Need To Run Your LLM Tracing 24/7

What You Can Do With Opik

Debug an LLM application
Read back each LLM call and agent run as a trace, with nested function calls, to see what happened inside a request when an answer comes back wrong.
Compare prompts and models
Run experiments over datasets and record feedback scores, including LLM-as-a-judge metrics, so a prompt or model change is judged on results instead of impressions.
Keep traces off third-party services
Send traces to your own SDK URL so prompts, outputs and datasets are stored on a server you control, which matters when the content is customer data.
Share one tracing endpoint across projects
Point several applications at the same Opik URL and review their projects in one place, with dashboards for trace counts, token usage and feedback scores.

Opik vs Alternatives

Langfuse: Langfuse has its own OneClick page. In an Opik vs Langfuse comparison, weigh Opik's side: Apache-2.0 for the full platform, backend included, with tracing, datasets, experiments and LLM-as-a-judge metrics.
LangSmith: For teams looking at an Opik alternative to LangSmith: upstream says Opik's server, web application and evaluation features self-host under Apache-2.0 without a commercial licence.
Hosted LLM observability services: Vendor-run tracing services keep the data on the vendor's infrastructure. Opik on xCloud stores traces on your own Cloud VPS.
Logging to files: Opik records LLM calls as nested traces with datasets and feedback scores, and gives them a web UI, an SDK and a REST API.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How much RAM does Opik need?

The template floor is 4096 MB of RAM, 2 CPU cores and 20 GB of disk, because the stack runs a JVM backend, ClickHouse, MySQL and ZooKeeper. QA measured about 2.3 GB idle, so this page sells the 16 GB plan for headroom.

Can you self-host Opik with Docker?

Yes, and this template is opik docker hosting without the setup: the official frontend, backend and python-backend images with MySQL, Redis, ClickHouse, ZooKeeper and MinIO, all pinned by digest, six named volumes, generated secrets and HTTPS on your own domain.

Do I need an account or API key for Opik?

No. Self-hosted Opik uses a fixed default user and the default workspace, with no login. That is why access must be restricted at the proxy, since anyone who can reach the domain has full access.

Is the Opik UI public by default?

Yes. Anyone who can open the domain can read and delete projects, save provider keys and run custom Python metrics. Restrict access with xCloud Basic Authentication or an IP allowlist before sending real data; this template does not enable either.

How do I send traces to Opik?

Set the SDK URL shown after install, your domain plus /api, as the Opik endpoint in your application, for example with the OPIK_URL_OVERRIDE environment variable. No API key is needed and the workspace is always default.

Is Opik an alternative to LangSmith or Langfuse?

Upstream lists it in the same LLM observability category as LangSmith and Langfuse. Opik is Apache-2.0 for the full platform, backend included, and self-hosts without a commercial licence, so traces, datasets and experiments stay on your own Cloud VPS.

Is Opik free?

Yes. Opik is Apache-2.0 licensed and upstream calls the full platform free to self-host. What you pay for is the Cloud VPS, so this Opik cloud install is yours alone, apart from the hosted Comet service.

How do I back up Opik?

Back up the named volumes together, stopping the stack first for a consistent copy: opik_mysql, opik_clickhouse, opik_clickhouse_logs, opik_zookeeper, opik_redis and opik_minio. Keep the encryption key too.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Opik?

The install stays on its pinned 2.2.99 images until you adopt a newer template version. Back up every volume first, then check the upstream release notes. No upgrade is automatic, and migrations run at the next start.

Are all Opik features available on this install?

No. The Docker code-executor strategy and guardrails need a privileged or GPU setup that this template does not provide. Custom Python metrics run as processes inside the python-backend container instead.

What happens if I change the Opik encryption key?

Provider API keys saved in the UI become unreadable and must be entered again. Leave the generated database, cache and object-storage secrets unchanged too, because MySQL reads its passwords only on first start.

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.
