PatchMon Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Run a self-hosted Linux patch-management dashboard on infrastructure you control, instead of trusting fleet visibility to someone else's SaaS. xCloud configures the pinned PatchMon 2.1.3 image, a private PostgreSQL database, a private Redis instance, a private guacd daemon and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes, so you're creating the first administrator and enrolling your first host right after the domain resolves.

  • No terminal
  • No technical skills needed
  • No lock-in, cancel anytime

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

Self-hosting a patch-management platform normally means an application server, a relational database, a cache, a remote-administration daemon, a reverse proxy and a domain and certificate before a single host reports in. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick PatchMon from the OneClick catalog. Choose a site title, your domain, and the target server.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official PatchMon 2.1.3 image alongside a private PostgreSQL 17, a private Redis 7 and a private guacd, all pinned by immutable digest, mount the patchmon_postgres_data and patchmon_redis_data volumes, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Create Your Administrator And Enroll A Host

    Open the generated HTTPS URL and create the intended first administrator promptly. Set Settings → Server URL to your public HTTPS address, then add a Linux host, run the generated one-line installer, and confirm its package inventory appears.

Everything PatchMon Does, On Your Own Server

PatchMon runs in full here — fleet inventory, patch visibility, compliance signals and remote administration, on infrastructure you control.

  • Linux Fleet Inventory

    Monitor connected Linux hosts and inspect installed, outdated and security-related package counts from one browser dashboard.

  • Patch-Management Workflows

    Organize patching across your fleet with visibility into what is up to date and what still needs attention.

  • Remote Host Administration

    Reach enrolled hosts through the private guacd service backing PatchMon's remote-administration sessions.

  • Private PostgreSQL And Redis

    Fleet, user and inventory data live in PostgreSQL and Redis backs queue and cache state — neither is exposed on a public port, only the PatchMon web service is.

  • Persistent Fleet And Inventory Data

    Users, hosts, settings, inventories and custom logos all persist on their own volumes, surviving a restart or lifecycle action.

  • Multi-Architecture, Immutable Images

    PatchMon and its dependencies run from vendor-maintained, digest-pinned images on both amd64 and arm64 hosts.

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.

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 PatchMon?

PatchMon is a free, open-source Linux patch-management and automation platform — fleet inventory, patching workflows, compliance signals and remote administration from a self-hosted dashboard. This template deploys version 2.1.3.

Is PatchMon free?

Yes — it is free and open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3. What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the software itself.

Can I self-host PatchMon?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the official PatchMon image alongside a private PostgreSQL, a private Redis and a private guacd, all pinned by immutable digest, mounts two persistent volumes and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.

Who becomes the administrator, and how do I sign in?

Nobody is pre-created. After installation, open the generated HTTPS URL and create the intended first administrator promptly yourself — that account is created the moment you set it up, not generated or shown to you in a credentials panel.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

A private PostgreSQL database and a private Redis instance with generated passwords, a JWT secret, a session secret, an AI encryption key, both persistent volumes, the private guacd remote-administration service, the domain, and the HTTPS route. Only the PatchMon web service is published — PostgreSQL, Redis and guacd stay private on the internal network.

Do I need to configure anything before enrolling hosts?

Yes — one step matters. PatchMon's fresh-install database defaults Settings → Server URL to localhost, and agent enrollment fails until you change it to your public HTTPS domain. Do this right after creating your administrator, before generating any agent installer.

What should I back up?

patchmon_postgres_data and patchmon_redis_data together, from the same point in time. PostgreSQL holds users, hosts, settings, inventories and custom logos; Redis holds queue and cache state used by the running application.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update PatchMon?

No. The template pins PatchMon, PostgreSQL, Redis and guacd by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Before changing any pinned image, back up both volumes and review the exact upstream release and migration notes, then verify administrator login, agent connectivity and inventory reporting afterward.

What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 6 GB?

The template manifest asks for 2048 MB of RAM, two CPU cores and 10 GB of disk as a floor for PatchMon alongside PostgreSQL, Redis and guacd. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung with real room above that floor for fleet size, inventory history and remote sessions to grow.

What survives a restart?

Everything on patchmon_postgres_data and patchmon_redis_data, because both are persistent named volumes. Restarting the containers or running an xCloud lifecycle action does not touch your hosts, inventories or fleet settings.

Is remote host administration exposed to the internet?

No. guacd, the daemon backing PatchMon's remote-administration sessions, has no host-published port — it is reachable only from the PatchMon server over the internal network.

Can I change my domain later?

You can, but treat it as a real reconfiguration, not a rename. The installation domain feeds CORS_ORIGIN and PatchMon's Server URL setting; changing it later means updating Settings → Server URL again and re-checking any enrolled agents. Choose your final domain before enrolling hosts broadly.

Is xCloud officially partnered with PatchMon?

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