Pønskelisten Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Pønskelisten hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Pønskelisten, a self-hosted app where friends and family keep wishlists, share them in groups and claim gifts without spoiling the surprise. xCloud runs the pinned container with its SQLite database and pictures on two persistent volumes and publishes it over HTTPS. Registration needs an invite code, and the first account becomes the administrator.

What is Pønskelisten?

Pønskelisten is a self-hosted web app for creating, sharing and collaborating on wishlists. You add wishes organised into categories, share lists with friends and family or in groups, and others can claim a wish anonymously, so the owner never sees it is taken. Sign-in supports a password, optional MFA or OpenID Connect single sign-on, and it installs as a progressive web app. A self-hosted Pønskelisten keeps private family wishlists on your server. It is GPL-3.0 licensed.

On xCloud it is Pønskelisten 2.4.0, the official image pinned by digest, as one container with SQLite and no database service. The poenskelisten_files volume holds the database, config and log, and poenskelisten_images holds uploaded pictures. The first account needs an invite code from the log, and email stays off until you set the SMTP values.

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

Running a wishlist app yourself normally means a container, persistent storage, a domain and a certificate before the first wish is added. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Pønskelisten from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — the install form asks for nothing else.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Pønskelisten image, pinned by immutable digest, as a single container with its SQLite database, mount the poenskelisten_files and poenskelisten_images volumes, and publish the web interface over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Register With An Invite Code
Read the latest invite code from the app log over SSH, open your HTTPS Pønskelisten URL and register with it — the first account becomes the administrator. Then remove the generateinvite line in the Environment editor, redeploy and create your first wishlist.

Everything Pønskelisten Does, On Your Own Server

Pønskelisten runs in full here: wishlists, groups and gift claiming on your own domain, with data kept in volumes you own.

Wishlists And Wishes
Create wishlists and add wishes, organise them into categories, and sort or group them on a list.
Groups For Sharing
Create groups to share wishlists with several people at once, so friends and family see what to buy.
Anonymous Gift Claiming
Others can claim a wish: everyone else sees it is taken, while the list owner does not, so the surprise stays intact.
Public Share Links
Share a wishlist by public link with people who do not have an account.
Invite-Only Registration
Registering needs an invite code, so you control who joins. Further invites are created in the admin panel.
Optional MFA And Single Sign-On
Upstream supports password sign-in with optional authenticator-app MFA, or OpenID Connect single sign-on. Both are off by default and configured in the Environment editor.

What You Can Do With Pønskelisten

Share a family wishlist before the holidays
Each person keeps a list and shares it with the family group, so relatives see what to buy without anyone asking around or sending a spreadsheet.
Claim a gift without spoiling it
Mark a wish as taken anonymously, so other givers see it is covered while the owner never learns who is buying it, which keeps the surprise intact.
Share a list with someone who has no account
Give a grandparent a public link to one wishlist, so they can open it without registering, while every other list stays behind sign-in.
Sign in with your existing identity provider
Connect OpenID Connect single sign-on, or enforce two-factor authentication, so a household or group that already has a login system uses it here too.

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 much RAM does Pønskelisten need?

The template floor is 128 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 2 GB of disk, because it is one small container with SQLite. The 6 GB plan is far above that, leaving room for other apps on the same server.

Can you self-host Pønskelisten with Docker?

Yes. This template covers pønskelisten docker hosting end to end: the official image pinned by digest, two named volumes, an externalurl that follows your domain and HTTPS, with no separate database container.

How do I create the first Pønskelisten account?

Registration needs an invite code even for the first account. The template makes the app write one to its log at every start; read it over SSH, register right away and you become the administrator. Then remove generateinvite and redeploy.

Can anyone sign up to Pønskelisten?

No. Registration needs an invite code, and wishlists need sign-in. Anyone who reaches the URL sees the login page. Further invites are created in the admin panel, so share codes only with people you want to join.

Can I use single sign-on or email with Pønskelisten?

Yes. Upstream supports OpenID Connect single sign-on, optional MFA and optional SMTP email. Email is off until you set the smtp values in the Environment editor; accounts are verified automatically without it.

Is a shared Pønskelisten wishlist public?

Only if the owner shares it by public link, in which case anyone with the link can open it without signing in. Every other list needs sign-in. For an extra gate, add Basic Auth at your access layer.

Is Pønskelisten free?

Yes. Pønskelisten is GPL-3.0 software with no licence charge. Only the Cloud VPS costs money, so this Pønskelisten cloud install keeps every wishlist and claim on your own server.

How do I back up Pønskelisten?

Back up both volumes: poenskelisten_files holds the SQLite database, config.json and log, and poenskelisten_images holds uploaded pictures. The config also holds the session key and any secrets, so treat backups as sensitive.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Pønskelisten?

Pønskelisten stays on the pinned v2.4.0 image until you adopt a newer template version. Copy both volumes beforehand and check the release notes. Nothing changes by itself; a redeploy keeps your data volumes.

Is Pønskelisten an alternative to Amazon Wish Lists?

For personal and family gift lists, yes. Upstream describes a self-hosted app for creating and sharing wishlists, with anonymous claiming. Wishes are not tied to one shop, and you run it yourself, including its backups.

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.
