Priviblur Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Priviblur hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Priviblur, a Tumblr alternative frontend, and browse public Tumblr blogs, posts and tags without trackers or an account. Your own server fetches the pages and images, so visitors' browsers never talk to Tumblr directly. xCloud runs the pinned Priviblur 0.3.0 image behind a Caddy gateway with HTTPS and a generated Basic Authentication login.

What is Priviblur?

Priviblur is an alternative frontend to Tumblr with a touch of modern design, inspired by projects like Invidious. Upstream describes it as a proxy: it makes requests to Tumblr in lieu of you, so you can browse without being tracked and without logging in, and it is lightweight and works without JavaScript. A self-hosted Priviblur instance is yours alone, since upstream says it has no official instance. It is licensed AGPLv3.

On xCloud the template runs Priviblur 0.3.0 from the official Quay image, pinned by digest, with a Caddy gateway as the only published service. Priviblur has no accounts, so the gateway's Basic Authentication stops strangers using your server as a free Tumblr proxy. There is no database or volume, and the server needs outbound access to tumblr.com.

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

Self-hosting Priviblur normally means a reverse proxy, a TLS certificate and a login gate before you can browse a single blog. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Priviblur from the OneClick catalog. Choose a Basic Authentication username; the password is generated for you.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We provision the server, bring up the pinned Priviblur and Caddy gateway images, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Start Using It
Sign in with the gateway credentials, then search for a blog, tag or topic — or open a page like /staff — to start browsing.

Everything Priviblur Does, Without The Tracking

Priviblur runs in full here — a tracker-free Tumblr front-end, with every request made by a server you control.

No Tumblr Account Needed
Read public Tumblr blogs, posts, tags, search and trending pages without ever signing in to Tumblr.
Your Server Makes The Requests
Pages and images are fetched by your server, so Tumblr sees your server's IP address, not your visitors' browsers.
Works Without JavaScript
A lightweight interface that renders and browses fine with JavaScript turned off.
Locked Behind Basic Authentication
The whole site sits behind HTTP Basic Authentication, so strangers can't use your server as a free Tumblr proxy.
Nothing To Lose On Restart
There's no database on the server — visitor preferences live in their own browser, and pages load again normally after a restart.
Light On Resources
About 160 MiB of memory measured in QA, so it comfortably shares a server with other apps.

What You Can Do With Priviblur

Use a private Tumblr viewer without an account
Open your own domain, sign in to the gateway, and read public blogs, tags and search results without a Tumblr login.
Keep visitors' browsers away from Tumblr
Have your server fetch pages and images, so Tumblr sees your server's address rather than each visitor's browser.
Browse on a slow or script-blocked browser
Read blogs with JavaScript turned off, using the lightweight interface upstream describes.
Share one instance with a few people
Give friends or family the gateway login so they use a single instance instead of each running their own.

Priviblur vs Alternatives

Tumblr: The original site. Upstream built Priviblur so you can browse Tumblr without being tracked or logging in, and a Priviblur alternative to Tumblr's own front end fetches public pages through your server instead.
Redlib: Redlib has its own OneClick page. It is a privacy-focused front end for a different site, so it is a sibling of Priviblur's approach rather than a replacement for it.
Nitter: In a Priviblur vs Nitter comparison, upstream says Priviblur is inspired by projects like Invidious, and it covers Tumblr rather than any other service. Nitter has no OneClick page here.
SearXNG: SearXNG has its own OneClick page. It is a private metasearch engine, whereas Priviblur browses Tumblr content specifically.

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.

Is Priviblur open source?

Yes. Priviblur is licensed under AGPLv3, which upstream says keeps the project and all instances free and open. Running it costs only the dedicated Cloud VPS that fetches and proxies the pages for you, using its own bandwidth.

Can I view Tumblr without an account?

Yes. Priviblur makes the requests to Tumblr for you, so you can read public blogs, tags and search results without logging in. It shows public content only, so private or login-only blogs stay out of reach.

Does Priviblur work without JavaScript?

Yes. Upstream describes it as lightweight and working without JavaScript, and the interface renders and browses with scripts switched off. Visitor preferences such as theme and language are kept in a browser cookie rather than on the server.

How much RAM does Priviblur need?

The manifest asks for 256 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 1 GB of disk, and QA measured about 160 MiB idle. The 6 GB plan is far above that, so the server has plenty of room to host other apps beside it.

Can you self-host Priviblur with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Priviblur Docker hosting without the wiring: the official Quay image pinned by digest on an internal network, a Caddy gateway as the only published service, a config file rebuilt on each start, and HTTPS on your domain.

Why is my Priviblur instance password-protected?

Priviblur has no accounts, and an open instance would let anyone use your server as a Tumblr proxy. The gateway puts Basic Authentication in front of the whole site, with the username you chose and a generated password.

Could my Priviblur server get rate-limited by Tumblr?

Yes. Every request is made by your server, so Tumblr sees its IP address, and heavy public use can get that address rate-limited or blocked while using your bandwidth. Keep the gateway login private, and the server needs outbound access to tumblr.com.

How do I back up Priviblur?

There is nothing to back up. The template declares no volume, database or cache, and visitor preferences live in each browser. Keep a note of the gateway username and password, which you can rotate in the Environment editor.

How do I upgrade Priviblur?

The install stays on Priviblur 0.3.0 until you adopt a newer template version. There is nothing to carry over, so skim the upstream release notes and then check that a blog page loads through the gateway. Nothing upgrades the app automatically, and a redeploy restores service within seconds.

Is there a Priviblur instance I can just use?

Upstream says Priviblur has no official instance and points to a list of public ones. This page gives you a private Priviblur instance of your own on a dedicated Cloud VPS, behind a login only you control.

Is there a Priviblur cloud service I can sign up to?

This page is your own Priviblur cloud: a dedicated Cloud VPS running the open-source frontend for the people you give the login to. It is a private instance, not a shared public service, and you control who has the login.

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.
