RSSBox Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

RSSBox hosting on xCloud lets you deploy RSSBox, a self-hosted RSS processor that fetches feeds, translates entries, filters them and republishes the result as new feeds, on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned app with a private Redis cache and SQLite data on a persistent volume, creates the admin account with a generated password and publishes it over HTTPS. You add your own translation engine keys.

What is RSSBox?

RSSBox, formerly RSS Translator, is an open-source, self-hosted RSS tool described upstream as smarter RSS management. It translates feed titles, content or summaries with bilingual display, lets each feed use a different engine, retrieves full article text, filters by keyword and by AI, and merges several feeds into one by tag. Engines include DeepL and any model with an OpenAI-compatible API. A self-hosted RSSBox is AI RSS translation on your own server. It is licensed GPL-3.0.

On xCloud it is RSSBox 2026.9.16, the image pinned by digest, a Django and gunicorn app with a cron process in the same container and a private Redis cache. The rssbox_data volume holds the SQLite database and log. The admin account is created with your generated password, and engine keys are entered in the admin interface.

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

Self-hosting an RSS translation hub normally means a container, a private cache, a generated admin password, a domain and a certificate before you can add a single feed. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick RSSBox from the OneClick catalog. Optionally set an admin password, or leave it blank and xCloud generates one.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned RSSBox 2026.9.16 image, create the admin account, bring up a private Redis cache, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In And Add Your First Feed
Save the admin password from your installation credentials, sign in as admin, add your first feed, then add translation or AI engine keys under Translators in the admin interface.

Everything RSSBox Does, On Your Own Server

RSSBox runs in full here — the same feed-processing tooling as any hosted RSS service, on infrastructure you control.

Translate And Summarize
Translate feed titles and content with supported engines like DeepL or OpenAI, with bilingual display, and summarize entries with AI.
Filter And Combine Feeds
Filter feeds by keyword or AI filtering, and combine several feeds into one through tags.
Full Article Text
Fetch full article text instead of settling for a feed's truncated summary.
Republish As New Feeds
Turn processed content back into RSS feeds that any feed reader can subscribe to.
Built-In Scheduler
Control update frequency per feed; a built-in scheduler refreshes feeds without extra setup.
Your Feeds, Your Server
Feeds, settings and the admin account live on a server you control instead of a third-party feed-processing account.

Everything You Need To Run Your Feed Processing 24/7

What You Can Do With RSSBox

Read foreign-language feeds in your language
Translate the titles and content of a feed and show them beside the original, so a team reads news from other markets without copying text into a translator.
Filter noisy feeds with keywords or AI
Drop entries that match a keyword, or let an AI filter decide, so a busy feed shows only items worth opening.
Merge several feeds into one digest
Combine feeds by tag into a single feed and apply filters to the merged result, so a topic reaches your reader as one stream.
Choose the engine and cost per feed
Assign DeepL to one feed and an OpenAI-compatible model to another and see tokens or characters used per feed, so spending on translation stays visible.

RSSBox vs Alternatives

Hosted RSS translation services: RSSBox runs on your own server with your own engine keys, shows tokens or characters used per feed, and republishes translated feeds as RSS or JSON.
RSS-Bridge: RSS-Bridge has its own OneClick page. In an RSSBox vs RSS-Bridge comparison, RSSBox starts from feeds that already exist and translates, summarises and filters them before republishing.
RSSHub: RSSHub has its own OneClick page. RSSBox processes feeds you already have, with translation, full-text fetching, filters and merging by tag.
FreshRSS: FreshRSS has its own OneClick page. It is a feed reader, so it can subscribe to the feeds RSSBox publishes under /rss/.

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 RSSBox need?

The template floor is 256 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 2 GB of disk, for the app, its cron refresher and a Redis cache. Translation runs at your engine's provider, so the 6 GB plan leaves ample room for other apps.

Can you self-host RSSBox with Docker?

Yes, and this template is rssbox docker hosting without the setup: the app image pinned by digest, a private Redis cache, the rssbox_data volume holding SQLite, a generated admin password and HTTPS on your own domain.

Which translation engines does RSSBox support?

Upstream lists DeepL and any model with an OpenAI-compatible API. You add engine keys in the admin interface after signing in. They are stored in the database, so treat the volume as sensitive.

How do I sign in to RSSBox?

Sign in as admin with the generated password from your credentials. There is no sign-up page. The template creates the account before upstream's well-known default can exist, and you change the password inside RSSBox later.

Are RSSBox feeds public?

Anyone with the exact feed URL under /rss/ can read it, which is how feed readers subscribe, while the admin interface needs login. Do not republish private or paid content, and keep DEMO set to 0 so the admin stays closed.

Is RSSBox an alternative to hosted RSS translation services?

For translating and filtering feeds, yes. Upstream describes a self-hosted tool that translates, filters and republishes feeds, with per-feed engines. You supply the engine keys and pay those providers directly.

Is RSSBox free?

Yes. RSSBox is open source under GPL-3.0, with no fee for the software. You pay only for the Cloud VPS and your translation provider, so this RSSBox cloud install of your own stays under your control.

How do I back up RSSBox?

Back up the rssbox_data volume, which holds the SQLite database with feeds, filters and encrypted engine keys, and the log. Redis holds only a cache with no volume. Keep SECRET_KEY unchanged, since it signs sessions.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade RSSBox?

RSSBox stays on its pinned 2026.9.16 image until a newer template version is adopted. Copy rssbox_data beforehand and check the release notes. Upgrades never run by themselves, and redeploying keeps the volume.

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.
