Pixelfin Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Pixelfin on xCloud and get Pixelfin hosting for a Jellyfin artwork manager that shows which posters, backdrops and logos are missing or low resolution, with an image editor and ZIP export and restore. xCloud runs the pinned image behind a Caddy sign-in gateway with a generated password, mounts persistent volumes for settings and output, and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain.

What is Pixelfin?

Pixelfin is a Jellyfin artwork inspector: a self-hosted Pixelfin works with your existing Jellyfin server to show which images are missing, which are low or high resolution, and which need a human judgment call. Upstream lists an image editor using your Jellyfin server's image sources, HTML galleries, and ZIP export and restore with dry runs and side-by-side comparison. The project says it is MIT-licensed, and warns it is not built with security in mind.

On xCloud the install runs Pixelfin v1.1.0, pinned by digest, behind a Caddy gateway that asks for a username and password on every request, since Pixelfin has no login of its own. The pixelfin_data volume holds settings, saved servers and job history, and pixelfin_output holds galleries and ZIP exports. It needs a Jellyfin server that the container can reach.

From Sign-Up to a Live Artwork Manager In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting Pixelfin normally means a container, a sign-in gateway, a generated password and two persistent volumes before a single poster is reviewed. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Pixelfin from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain, and optionally change the admin username — xCloud generates the password.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned Pixelfin 1.1.0 image behind a generated sign-in gateway, mount the settings and output volumes, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Connect Jellyfin And Scan
Open your HTTPS URL and sign in at the browser's username/password prompt. Add your Jellyfin server URL and an API key — use an address the server can reach, not localhost — then scan your libraries.

Everything Pixelfin Does, On Your Own Server

The artwork review, image editing, gallery and ZIP tooling from upstream v1.1.0, running behind a sign-in gateway on a server you control.

What You Can Do With Pixelfin

Find the posters Jellyfin got wrong
Scan a library to see which titles lack a poster, backdrop, logo or thumbnail, or have a low-resolution one, then open the gallery for each and fix it.
Replace artwork without leaving the page
Use the built-in image editor, with uploads up to 10 MB per image, to choose a better poster than the one Jellyfin grabbed automatically.
Back up artwork before a rebuild
Export a library's artwork to ZIP, then restore it later with a dry run and side-by-side comparison, useful when migrating or rebuilding a Jellyfin server.
Run scans on a schedule
Set up automatic scans and exports so artwork problems and backups are tracked without someone running the tool by hand each time.

Pixelfin vs Alternatives

Editing artwork in Jellyfin: Jellyfin stores and shows each title's images. Pixelfin adds an audit view of what is missing or low resolution across a library, plus ZIP backup and restore, as an alternative to checking titles one by one.
Jellyfin: Jellyfin has its own OneClick page. Its catalogue entry describes a media server for your films, series and music; Pixelfin is a separate project that works with it rather than a Jellyfin feature.
Jellystat: In a Pixelfin vs Jellystat comparison, Jellystat has its own OneClick page. Its catalogue entry describes a statistics dashboard for Jellyfin and Emby, where Pixelfin concentrates on artwork.
Images saved beside the media files: Upstream notes the other approach is saving images next to the media files. Pixelfin instead keeps Jellyfin's own image storage and adds ZIP backup and restore for the artwork.

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.

Can you self-host Pixelfin with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Pixelfin Docker hosting without the setup: the pinned Pixelfin v1.1.0 container plus a Caddy sign-in gateway, with two named volumes, a generated password and HTTPS on your domain. It runs a single gunicorn worker on purpose, because scan jobs are held in memory.

How much RAM does Pixelfin need?

Expect to give it 512 MB of RAM, one CPU core and 5 GB of disk as a bare minimum. The 6 GB plan is the entry rung, which leaves headroom for scanning large libraries and generating galleries and ZIP exports.

Do I need a Jellyfin server for Pixelfin?

Yes. Pixelfin works with an existing Jellyfin server and is a separate project, not a Jellyfin feature. After signing in you add the server's URL and an API key; use an address the container can reach, such as a public URL, not localhost.

Is it safe to expose Pixelfin to the internet?

Upstream says Pixelfin is not built with security in mind and should not be exposed to the internet. That is why this template puts a generated username and password prompt in front of every request. Anyone with those credentials can edit or delete artwork.

How do I sign in to Pixelfin?

Pixelfin has no login of its own. Open your HTTPS URL and enter the admin username and generated password in the browser's sign-in prompt. You can rotate the credentials in the Environment editor and redeploy. Then add your Jellyfin URL and API key.

Can Pixelfin back up and restore Jellyfin artwork?

Yes. Upstream describes exporting a library's artwork to ZIP and restoring it to Jellyfin later, with a dry run and side-by-side comparison first. ZIP uploads for restore are limited to 500 MB by the proxy, and exports are stored in pixelfin_output.

What should I back up on a Pixelfin server?

Back up pixelfin_data, which holds settings, saved servers, API keys and job history, and pixelfin_output, which holds galleries and ZIP exports. Copy both together while the containers are stopped, and keep the copies private because they include the Jellyfin API key.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Pixelfin?

Pinned v1.1.0 stays until you move to a newer template version. Copy pixelfin_data and pixelfin_output first, then read the project's changelog. A running site never picks up a new build unprompted, and redeploys keep both volumes.

Is Pixelfin free?

Yes. Upstream's README states Pixelfin is MIT-licensed, though no LICENSE file is published at v1.1.0, so confirm the terms with the project if that matters to you. There is no licence fee. Your cost is the dedicated Cloud VPS under Pixelfin and its sign-in gateway.

Is the Jellyfin API key stored securely in Pixelfin?

Not especially. Pixelfin stores it unencrypted in its settings and logs it when a Jellyfin request fails, so treat the container logs and your backups as sensitive and keep the sign-in credentials private, since anyone who has them can read every saved server.

Is there a Pixelfin cloud service?

Pixelfin and its exports run on a dedicated Cloud VPS provisioned by xCloud, while your Jellyfin server stays wherever it already is. The sign-in gateway controls who can reach the artwork tool, so only people you give the credentials to can use it.

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.
