RadaRec Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy RadaRec hosting and turn your Radarr library into a source of new movies to watch. xCloud runs the pinned RadaRec 0.2.8 image behind a Caddy gateway that asks for a generated admin login, mounts a persistent settings volume and publishes the interface over HTTPS. Your Radarr and TMDB keys are saved in Settings, behind that login rather than on a public page.

  • No technical skills needed
  • No lock-in, cancel anytime

What is RadaRec?

RadaRec is a web GUI for finding similar movies to selected Radarr movies, and adding your picks back to Radarr. Upstream's settings cover the Radarr address and API key, the root folder, a TMDB API key, a minimum rating and vote count, a language filter, and whether to search for a movie when it is added. Self-hosted RadaRec is the alternative to browsing movie recommendation sites by hand, under the GPL-3.0 licence.

On xCloud it is RadaRec 0.2.8, pinned by digest, as one container behind a Caddy gateway that enforces HTTP Basic authentication, since RadaRec has no accounts of its own. Settings live on the radarec_config volume. It needs a Radarr instance this server can reach and a free TMDB API key, and your browser must load Bootstrap and Socket.IO from public CDNs.

From Sign-Up to Your First Recommendation In Just 3 Easy Steps

A RadaRec stack normally means an app container, an authentication layer, a settings volume, a domain and a certificate before the first suggestion. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick RadaRec from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then set the admin username (default admin) — the password is generated for you.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We run the community RadaRec image, pinned by immutable digest and kept private to the stack, behind a Caddy 2.10.2 gateway that enforces the HTTP Basic login. The radarec_config volume holds your settings, and the gateway is published over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Connect Radarr And TMDB

    Save the generated password from the protected installation credentials, open your HTTPS RadaRec URL and sign in. In Settings enter your Radarr address, Radarr API key, root folder and a TMDB API key, then load your Radarr library and start.

Everything RadaRec Does, On Your Own Server

RadaRec runs in full here: movie recommendations built from your Radarr library, on your own domain, behind a login.

  • Recommendations From Your Library

    Pick movies from your Radarr library and RadaRec returns TMDB-based recommendations, each with its rating, votes and genres.

  • One-Click Add To Radarr

    Add a recommendation to Radarr from the page, using the Radarr address, API key and root folder saved in Settings.

  • Editable Settings In The App

    The Radarr address, API keys and root folder are edited in the Settings panel and stored in settings_config.json on the persistent radarec_config volume.

  • Filters For Rating, Votes And Language

    Upstream exposes minimum rating, minimum votes and a language choice as settings, so the suggestions can be narrowed before you add anything.

  • Login In Front Of The Whole UI

    A Caddy gateway enforces HTTP Basic Authentication with the admin username you choose and a generated 32-character password; anonymous and wrong-password requests get 401.

  • Small Footprint

    Measured idle use in QA was about 76 MiB across both containers, so it fits easily beside the rest of your media stack.

What You Can Do With RadaRec

  • Find your next movie from what you own

    Pick movies already in your Radarr library and see similar titles, filtered by a minimum rating and vote count.

  • Add a pick to Radarr in one step

    Send a recommended movie straight to Radarr, with the root folder and quality profile you configured, and optionally start a search.

  • Narrow suggestions by language

    Choose a language so recommendations stay within the films you would actually watch.

  • Keep keys behind a login

    Store your Radarr and TMDB keys in Settings on a server that asks for a login first, rather than on a public page.

RadaRec vs Alternatives

Movie recommendation sites
A recommendation site suggests movies but cannot add them to your library. RadaRec starts from your own Radarr library and adds picks to Radarr.
Radarr
Radarr has its own OneClick page. RadaRec is a companion to it: it reads your Radarr library, suggests similar movies and needs a Radarr instance to work.
Seerr
Seerr has its own OneClick page. RadaRec starts from the movies already in your Radarr library and suggests similar titles, filtered by rating, votes and language.
Browsing TMDB by hand
TMDB is the movie database whose API key RadaRec uses. RadaRec applies rating, vote and language filters to find similar films without manual searching.

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!

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

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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Can you self-host RadaRec with Docker?

Yes. Upstream ships a Docker image and Compose example, and this template is RadaRec Docker hosting set up for you: the 0.2.8 image pinned by digest, a Caddy login gateway, one radarec_config volume and HTTPS. It is your own RadaRec cloud interface.

How much RAM does RadaRec need?

RadaRec needs just 128 MB of memory, a single core and 1 GB of storage, which suits one small container beside a Caddy gateway. The 6 GB plan is the entry rung here, so the server can also run Radarr or other apps.

Is RadaRec free?

Yes, RadaRec is GPL-3.0 software with no fee. The dedicated Cloud VPS is the only cost, cancellable at any point. TMDB offers a free account for the API key RadaRec needs, so lookups cost nothing extra.

What does RadaRec need to work?

A Radarr instance this server can reach, and a TMDB API key from a free themoviedb.org account. In Settings, enter the Radarr address, the Radarr API key, the Radarr root folder and the TMDB key. RadaRec bundles neither Radarr nor a movie database.

Why can't RadaRec reach my Radarr?

Radarr must be reachable from this server. Use its public URL or LAN address, not localhost, because localhost points at the RadaRec container itself. Check the port, any firewall in front of Radarr, and that the API key is copied exactly from Radarr's settings.

Who can see my Radarr and TMDB keys in RadaRec?

Anyone holding the Basic Auth login, because RadaRec has no accounts of its own and the gateway is the only gate. The login can read and change both keys in Settings, so share it only with people you trust, and change it in the Environment editor if it leaks.

Can I set RadaRec keys in the environment file?

Yes, but values you uncomment there apply on every start and win over the same field in Settings, so edits made in the app are lost on restart. Leave them commented to manage them in the app. Setting names are lowercase and case-sensitive.

Can I run more than one RadaRec instance?

No. Keep RadaRec as a single instance, because its recommendations and run state live in one process. Several people can use the same instance, since the gateway login is shared, but two copies would not share what they have already suggested.

How do I back up RadaRec?

Back up the radarec_config volume, which holds the settings you saved, including your Radarr and TMDB keys. It holds little else, so the copy is small. Treat it as secret-bearing, and try a restore once before you rely on it.

How do I upgrade RadaRec?

The install stays on pinned 0.2.8 until you adopt a newer template version. Check upstream's release notes, back up radarec_config, then redeploy and check that Settings still connect to Radarr. Existing sites are never upgraded automatically.

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.
