Restreamer Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Restreamer hosting on infrastructure you control, instead of routing your live stream through a third-party platform. xCloud configures the pinned Restreamer 2.12.0 image, a generated administrator password and RTMP token, an allocated raw RTMP port for OBS or another publisher, persistent configuration and data storage, and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes, ready for your first test stream.

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

Self-hosting a live-video streaming server normally means an RTMP listener, generated credentials, persistent storage, a domain and a certificate before a single stream goes live. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Restreamer from the OneClick catalog. Enter the site title and domain settings and submit the one-step form — the administrator password and RTMP token are generated automatically.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official Restreamer 2.12.0 image, pinned by immutable digest, generate stable administrator, JWT and RTMP credentials, map container port 1935 to an allocated raw TCP port, mount restreamer_config and restreamer_data, and publish the web interface over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Publish A Test Stream

    Save the generated administrator password and RTMP token, sign in as admin, choose RTMP server, and publish a short test stream from OBS to the displayed server and allocated port. Confirm Restreamer detects the video profile and the HTTPS HLS player loads.

Everything Restreamer Does, On Your Own Server

Restreamer runs in full here — RTMP ingest, live-process management and HLS playback, on infrastructure you control.

  • RTMP Ingest From OBS

    Receive RTMP streams from OBS or another publisher on an allocated raw TCP port, gated by a generated RTMP token.

  • Browser Process Management

    Configure and monitor live-video processes from Restreamer's own browser interface instead of a command line.

  • HTTPS HLS Playback

    Serve HLS playback through the xCloud-managed HTTPS site, ready to embed or share.

  • Generated Administrator And RTMP Credentials

    Sign in and publish with administrator, JWT and RTMP credentials generated per installation — never a shared default.

  • Persistent Stream Configuration

    restreamer_config and restreamer_data keep your configuration and stream data across restarts, backed up together.

  • Restart-Tested Persistence

    Configuration and data survive an xCloud Restart, verified against the reviewed template rather than assumed.

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.

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
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.

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.

What is Restreamer?

Restreamer is an open-source, self-hosted live-video streaming server — RTMP ingest, browser-managed live-video processes and HLS playback. This template deploys version 2.12.0.

Is Restreamer free, and what license is it under?

Yes — Restreamer is free and open source under the Apache-2.0 licence. What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the software itself.

Can I self-host Restreamer?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the official Restreamer image, pinned by immutable digest, generates administrator, JWT and RTMP credentials, allocates an RTMP port, mounts persistent storage, and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.

Can I publish from OBS?

Yes. Use the generated RTMP server details and token shown after installation — Restreamer's RTMP listener maps to an xCloud-allocated raw TCP port.

Does xCloud provide HTTPS playback?

Yes. Restreamer's web interface, API and HLS playback are all served through the xCloud-managed HTTPS site; only the RTMP port is a separate raw TCP listener.

Is the RTMP port private?

No. It is a publicly reachable raw TCP port, protected by the generated RTMP token rather than by staying behind HTTPS. Restrict it with the server firewall if external publishing is unnecessary.

Does this template include hardware transcoding?

No. It does not enable privileged mode or pass host devices into the container, and it does not expose optional SRT/UDP or RTMPS ports.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The pinned Restreamer image, generated administrator, JWT and RTMP secrets, the allocated RTMP port, persistent storage, the domain and the HTTPS route.

What should I back up?

restreamer_config and restreamer_data together, stopping streams first for a consistent copy, along with the stable generated credentials.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Restreamer?

No. The template pins the official Restreamer image by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Before upgrading, review upstream release notes, update the version and digest together, then retest login, RTMP ingest, HLS playback, Restart and restore behavior.

How many concurrent streams can this handle?

The baseline resources are sized for a small single-stream workload. Actual capacity depends heavily on codec, resolution, frame rate and hardware acceleration — none of which this template enables — so test your specific stream profile before relying on it.

What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 16 GB?

The template manifest asks for 4 CPU cores, 4 GB of RAM and 20 GB of disk as a floor for a small single-stream workload. Per xCloud's own sizing rule, a 4 GB-and-up manifest floor sells the 16 GB tier rather than the entry 6 GB box, which would leave too little headroom once the OS is running.

What survives a restart?

Everything on restreamer_config and restreamer_data, because both are persistent named volumes — stream configuration, data and generated credentials all persist across an xCloud Restart.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Restreamer or datarhei?

No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the Restreamer project or datarhei has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source Restreamer project.

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.
