Posterizarr Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Posterizarr hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Posterizarr, an automated asset maker for Plex, Jellyfin and Emby, on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned container with four persistent volumes for config, generated assets, manual overrides and backups, turns on HTTP Basic Authentication with a generated password from the first boot and publishes the web UI over HTTPS. You connect your media servers during onboarding.

What is Posterizarr?

Posterizarr is an automated asset maker for Plex, Jellyfin and Emby. It builds posters, backgrounds and title cards from sources such as Fanart.tv, TMDB, TVDB, Plex and IMDb with a focus on textless images, applies your own overlays and text, and arranges the files in a Kometa-compatible folder structure. A web UI manages settings, activity and manual runs. A self-hosted Posterizarr gives your library consistent media artwork. It is licensed GPL-3.0.

On xCloud it is Posterizarr 3.3.6, the official image pinned by digest, as one container. The posterizarr_config, posterizarr_assets, posterizarr_manualassets and posterizarr_assetsbackup volumes hold settings, generated artwork, manual overrides and backups. It installs no media server, Kometa or artwork API accounts, and you enter their tokens in the app after signing in.

From Sign-Up to Generated Artwork In Just 3 Easy Steps

A Posterizarr install normally means a container, volumes for config and assets, a way to protect the web UI, a domain and a certificate before the first poster. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Posterizarr from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain, set the Web UI username, keep or change the generated password and set the timezone.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Posterizarr image as a single container, pinned by immutable digest, mount the posterizarr_config, posterizarr_assets, posterizarr_manualassets and posterizarr_assetsbackup volumes, apply your Web UI credentials on first install and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Connect Your Media Servers
Open your HTTPS Posterizarr URL once first boot has seeded its configuration (often under a minute), sign in with the saved username and password, then complete onboarding: connect Plex, Jellyfin and/or Emby and add TMDB, TVDB and Fanart.tv keys as needed.

Everything Posterizarr Does, On Your Own Server

Posterizarr runs in full here: artwork automation and its web UI on your own domain, with the settings and generated images on volumes you own.

Artwork For Plex, Jellyfin And Emby
Generates posters, backgrounds and title cards for your libraries, preferring textless images from sources such as Fanart.tv, TMDB, TVDB, Plex and IMDb.
Everything In The Web UI
Onboarding, settings, and logo search, preview and manual replacement all live in the browser, so there is no config file to edit by hand.
Kometa-Compatible Folders
Generated assets use a Kometa-compatible folder structure. Kometa itself is not installed.
Webhook Triggers
Optional triggers from Tautulli, Sonarr and Radarr webhooks let new items get artwork without a manual run.
Custom Overlays And Text
Add custom overlays and text to generated artwork; overlay files and fonts are kept on the config volume.
Sign-In From The First Boot
The Web UI is protected by HTTP Basic Authentication from the first install; QA confirmed upstream's default password is rejected.

What You Can Do With Posterizarr

Give a whole library matching posters
Generate posters with your own overlays and text for every movie and show, so a Plex or Jellyfin library looks consistent instead of mixing mismatched artwork.
Prefer textless artwork from your sources
Pull textless images from Fanart.tv, TMDB and TVDB and add your own title overlay, so every poster follows the same style across the collection.
Feed artwork to Kometa
Write assets into a Kometa-compatible folder structure, so an existing Kometa setup can pick up the generated posters and backgrounds without a rename step.
Refresh artwork when new media arrives
Trigger runs from Tautulli, Sonarr or Radarr, so new downloads receive their poster as part of the normal flow rather than a manual job.

Posterizarr vs Alternatives

Manual artwork selection: Posterizarr generates posters in bulk from Fanart.tv, TMDB, TVDB, Plex and IMDb with your overlays, and keeps manual overrides in their own volume.
Kometa: Kometa is a separate tool. In a Posterizarr vs Kometa comparison, Posterizarr makes the artwork and writes it in a Kometa-compatible folder structure, so the two can work together.
Jellyfin: Jellyfin has its own OneClick page. Posterizarr does not serve media: it creates artwork for a Jellyfin, Plex or Emby library, which you connect during onboarding.
Tautulli: Tautulli has its own OneClick page. Upstream lists Tautulli as one of the triggers that can start a Posterizarr run, alongside Sonarr and Radarr.

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 Posterizarr need?

The template floor is 256 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 10 GB of disk. Generated artwork and backups grow the volumes with the size of your library, so the 6 GB plan matters mostly for disk and for other apps on the server.

Can you self-host Posterizarr with Docker?

Yes. This template covers posterizarr docker hosting end to end: the official image pinned by digest, four named volumes, HTTP Basic Authentication from first boot and HTTPS. It installs no media server.

Which media servers does Posterizarr support?

Upstream supports Plex, Jellyfin and Emby. This template installs none of them, nor Kometa or artwork API accounts, so you connect your existing server and enter API keys and tokens in the web UI after you sign in.

Does Posterizarr work with Kometa?

Yes. Upstream organises its assets in a Kometa-compatible folder structure, and the template's output includes Kometa-ready assets. Kometa itself is not installed here, so run it where your library lives.

Is the Posterizarr web UI password protected?

Yes. HTTP Basic Authentication is enabled at install with your username and a generated password stored as a bcrypt hash in config.json. Change credentials in the web UI settings, and never save a partial config, which can reset auth to open.

Does Posterizarr send data to upstream?

By default, yes. Upstream sends anonymous usage statistics, covering an ID, operating system, target media server and app version, until you set telemetry to false in config.json or the settings page.

Is Posterizarr free?

Yes. Posterizarr is distributed under GPL-3.0 at no charge. Your costs are the Cloud VPS, so this Posterizarr cloud install is yours, plus any artwork API accounts you decide to use.

How do I back up Posterizarr?

Back up posterizarr_config, which holds settings and tokens, together with posterizarr_assets, posterizarr_manualassets and posterizarr_assetsbackup. Manual overrides are the hardest to recreate, so keep those volumes in every copy.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Posterizarr?

Posterizarr stays on the pinned 3.3.6 image until you adopt a newer template version. Copy all four volumes beforehand and check the release notes. Upgrades are never automatic, and redeploying keeps the volumes.

Can I change the Posterizarr username or password later?

Yes, in the web UI settings. Editing ADMIN_USERNAME or ADMIN_PASSWORD in the Environment editor afterwards does not rotate them, because they are seeded once into config.json. Use full-config saves from the settings page only.

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.
