PeaNUT Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

PeaNUT hosting on xCloud gives you a self-hosted UPS monitoring dashboard for the Network UPS Tools servers you already run, with live status for every UPS on one private page. Deploy PeaNUT from the OneClick catalog and xCloud starts the pinned image, creates your administrator account with a generated password, mounts a settings volume and publishes the dashboard over HTTPS. It does not run NUT itself.

What is PeaNUT?

PeaNUT is a tiny dashboard for Network UPS Tools. Its README lists monitoring UPS devices on your network through NUT, real-time statistics and status, a customizable dashboard layout, support for multiple UPS devices, commands on UPS devices, an API, InfluxDB v2 and Prometheus support, and Homepage widgets. Self-hosted PeaNUT is a self-hosted UPS monitoring dashboard you run yourself, in place of UPS vendor monitoring software. Its licence is Apache-2.0.

On xCloud, this template deploys PeaNUT v6.0.0 as the official image, pinned by digest, behind HTTPS on your domain, with settings and the administrator account on the peanut_config volume. It installs the dashboard only: you need a NUT server that this Cloud VPS can reach on the network, such as over a VPN or a scoped firewall rule. A UPS cannot be plugged into the VPS itself.

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

Self-hosting PeaNUT normally means a container, a generated admin account, a domain and a certificate before you can see a single UPS. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick PeaNUT from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain, and optionally change the administrator username — the default is admin.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned PeaNUT 6.0.0 image, generate the administrator password, mount the persistent settings volume, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Add Your NUT Servers
Open your HTTPS URL, sign in with the credentials from your installation panel, then add a NUT server under Settings with the host, port and NUT credentials of a server this app can reach.

Everything PeaNUT Does, On Your Own Server

PeaNUT runs in full here — the same UPS monitoring and dashboard tooling as any self-hosted install, on infrastructure you control.

Live UPS Status
See real-time status, battery charge, runtime and load for every UPS across multiple NUT servers in one table.
No YAML Editing
Add and manage NUT servers from the Settings UI instead of hand-editing a configuration file.
Commands And REST API
Run UPS commands and read device variables from the dashboard or over the /api/v1 REST API, secured with your administrator credentials.
Metrics Export
Feed UPS metrics to InfluxDB v2 or Prometheus, or drop the widgets straight onto a Homepage dashboard.
Generated Admin Login
xCloud creates the administrator account on first start — there is no open public setup page to race.
Settings That Survive Restarts
The NUT server list, dashboard settings and administrator account live in a persistent volume, through an xCloud restart.

What You Can Do With PeaNUT

Watch every UPS from one dashboard
A homelab or small-office admin adds several NUT servers and sees the status, battery charge and load of every UPS on one HTTPS page, instead of checking each device separately.
Check power status away from home
An admin reaches the dashboard from a phone or laptop on the PeaNUT domain to see whether a UPS is on battery, keeping the NUT server itself reachable only over a VPN or scoped firewall rule.
Feed UPS metrics into Grafana or Prometheus
A monitoring-minded user points PeaNUT's InfluxDB v2 integration at a database for Grafana, or scrapes its Prometheus endpoint, so UPS readings sit with the rest of their metrics.
Run UPS commands from a browser
An admin runs commands on a UPS from the dashboard instead of the NUT command line, signing in with the generated administrator account and keeping the NUT server list on the settings volume.

PeaNUT vs Alternatives

Vendor UPS software: PeaNUT reads UPS devices through NUT rather than through any one vendor's tool, so a single dashboard covers every UPS that your NUT servers already expose.
NUT's own web pages: PeaNUT is a separate dashboard for Network UPS Tools with a customizable layout, a REST API and metrics export, which you deploy beside your existing NUT servers instead of changing them.
Grafana: Grafana is a dashboard platform with its own OneClick page, not a rival: PeaNUT's README describes InfluxDB v2 integration for monitoring through Grafana. Use both if you want long-term charts.
Zabbix: Zabbix is a separate project with its own OneClick page. PeaNUT is narrow by design: a dashboard specifically for NUT servers and the UPS devices behind them.

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.

Is PeaNUT free?

Yes. PeaNUT is free and open source under the Apache License 2.0, linked from this page at the pinned v6.0.0 tag. Only the Cloud VPS is billed by xCloud, not PeaNUT, and the software adds no per-device fee. The NUT servers you connect are separate and not part of this install.

Can you run PeaNUT with Docker?

Yes, and this PeaNUT Docker hosting template does it for you: the official brandawg93/peanut image, pinned by digest and published for amd64 and arm64, runs under Docker Compose on your Cloud VPS, not a PeaNUT cloud account. The only published endpoint is the web interface over HTTPS.

Does PeaNUT include a NUT server?

No. PeaNUT is only the dashboard: it connects out to NUT servers you already run, and this template installs the dashboard alone. You need a working Network UPS Tools server with your UPS attached. This page does not set one up, and a UPS cannot be connected to the Cloud VPS itself.

How do I connect PeaNUT to a NUT server?

After signing in, add a NUT server under Settings, or set the connection variables in the Environment editor and redeploy. The server must be reachable from this Cloud VPS, normally over a VPN or a firewall rule that allows only this server's address, because NUT's TCP port is not meant for the open internet.

How much RAM does PeaNUT need?

The template manifest asks for 512 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 2 GB of disk as a floor. PeaNUT is a small dashboard, so the load depends on how many UPS devices and widgets you add. This page sells the 6 GB tier, which is far above that floor and leaves room for other apps.

Does PeaNUT have an API?

Yes. Upstream's README lists API access for integration with other tools. The /api/v1 REST API accepts the administrator credentials as HTTP Basic auth on this install, so keep those credentials private and use HTTPS only. Authentication is always on, with no anonymous access to the API or the dashboard.

Does PeaNUT work with Grafana and Prometheus?

Yes. Upstream's README describes InfluxDB v2 integration for monitoring through Grafana, Prometheus support for monitoring and alerting, and customizable widgets for Homepage. You supply the InfluxDB, Prometheus or Grafana servers; this template does not install them, though Grafana has its own OneClick page.

Grafana hosting

How do I change the PeaNUT admin password?

You cannot from inside the app: PeaNUT has no in-app password change, so the generated password stays the administrator password. The username you chose at install and the 24-character password are in the credentials panel. Keep them safe, since the same credentials also protect the REST API.

How do I back up PeaNUT?

Include the peanut_config volume in your backup. It is mounted at /config and holds your NUT server list, dashboard settings and the administrator account. It is small, so frequent copies are cheap. Keep one off the server, and restore it before redeploying to keep your layout and login.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade PeaNUT?

Upgrades are not automatic. The template pins PeaNUT v6.0.0 by immutable digest, and catalog changes reach new installs, not existing ones. Read the upstream release notes, back up the peanut_config volume, then choose a later template version on your own schedule.

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.
