What is Perses?

Perses is an open-source observability dashboard server. It builds dashboards for Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Pyroscope and other data sources, and it stores dashboards as code so they can be exported and managed as JSON.

This page deploys Perses v0.54.0 as a single container with its built-in file database. Perses does not bundle a time-series store or log store: you add the Prometheus, Loki or Tempo URLs you already run as data sources.

From Sign-Up to Live Dashboards In Just 3 Easy Steps

A Perses install normally means a container, a volume, a provisioned admin account, an encryption key, a domain and a certificate before the first panel. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Perses 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 Perses image, pinned by immutable digest, as a single container with the built-in file database, mount the perses_data volume, generate the admin password and the 32-character encryption key, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Add A Data Source
Open your HTTPS Perses URL (the first start unpacks bundled plugins and can take a minute or two), sign in as admin with the password from the installation credentials, add your Prometheus, Loki or Tempo URL as a data source, then create your first project and dashboard.

Everything Perses Does, On Your Own Server

Perses runs in full here: a dashboard server on your own domain, with the login on and the data kept on a volume you own.

Dashboards For Many Data Sources
Build dashboards for Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Pyroscope and other data sources from one place.
Dashboards As Code
Dashboards are stored as code: export and manage them as JSON from the UI, or with percli.
Login On, Sign-Up Off
Authentication is switched on and self-registration is disabled, so only the provisioned admin can open the UI, the API or the data-source proxy.
Encrypted Data-Source Credentials
Data-source credentials stored in the database are encrypted with a generated 32-character key.
A Single Container
Perses uses its built-in file database, so there is no separate database to run.
Projects And Data Kept On A Volume
Projects, dashboards, data sources and users live on the perses_data volume and survive an xCloud Restart.

What You Can Do With Perses

Dashboards over Prometheus metrics
Give a platform team one login-protected place to build and share dashboards over the Prometheus instances it already runs.
Logs and traces next to metrics
Add Loki and Tempo as data sources to look at logs and traces alongside metrics in the same dashboard server.
Dashboards kept as JSON
Export dashboards as JSON, or manage them with percli, so they can be reviewed and moved between environments like any other file.
A private view of internal systems
Keep the UI, API and data-source proxy behind a login on your own domain, with data-source credentials stored encrypted.

Perses vs Alternatives

Grafana: Another open-source dashboard tool for Prometheus, Loki and Tempo data. Perses is tagged as a Grafana alternative in its xCloud template.
Datadog: A hosted commercial monitoring service with its own dashboards. Perses runs on your own server and you bring your own data sources.
Kibana: The dashboard front end for Elasticsearch data. Perses connects to Prometheus, Loki, Tempo and similar sources instead.

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.

How do I sign in?

Use the admin user and the generated password from the installation credentials.

Can other people sign up?

No. Self-registration is disabled; only the provisioned admin account exists.

What runs alongside Perses?

Nothing. It is a single container with a built-in file database, so there is no separate database to run.

Is anything reachable without a login?

Authentication is on. In QA, a wrong password was rejected and anonymous requests for projects, users and the data-source proxy returned 401. Keep the authentication and sign-up settings as shipped, otherwise dashboards and the data-source proxy become reachable without a login.

Why does the first load take a while?

The first start unpacks the bundled plugins and can take a minute or two, so refresh if the page does not load right away.

How do I add my Prometheus, Loki or Tempo?

Add their URLs as data sources from the Perses UI. Data sources are queried from the Perses container, so use addresses it can resolve from the server.

How do I change the admin password?

Edit ADMIN_PASSWORD in the Environment editor and redeploy. The password is re-applied from that value at every start and about hourly, so a password changed inside Perses is reset.

What should I back up?

The perses_data volume, plus the encryption key and admin password values from the Environment editor. Dashboards can also be exported as JSON or with percli.

Backups in xCloud

Do my dashboards survive a restart?

Yes. In QA the container was restarted and the dashboards, data sources and queries were intact, because they are stored on the persistent perses_data volume.

Can I change PERSES_SECURITY_ENCRYPTION_KEY?

Keep it unchanged after install. It protects data-source credentials in the Perses database, and saved data-source secrets cannot be read with a different key.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Perses?

No. The template pins Perses v0.54.0 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 6 GB?

The template's baseline asks for 1 CPU core, 512 MB of RAM and 2 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 74 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Perses?

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