Scada-LTS Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Scada-LTS hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Scada-LTS and run your own web-based SCADA for data acquisition, alarms and graphical views, without setting up Tomcat or MySQL yourself. xCloud runs the pinned Scada-LTS v2.7.8.1 image beside a private MySQL 8.0 database, replaces the upstream default login with a generated admin password, mounts three persistent volumes and publishes it over HTTPS.

What is Scada-LTS?

Scada-LTS is, in upstream's words, an open source, web-based, multi-platform solution for building your own SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. You define data sources and data points, set alarms and build graphical views in the browser, and upstream documents a REST API in OpenAPI form. A self-hosted Scada-LTS is an alternative to commercial SCADA software, and the code is released under the GPL.

On xCloud the template deploys Scada-LTS v2.7.8.1 with a private MySQL 8.0.32, both pinned by digest. The app lives at /Scada-LTS/ on your domain. MySQL data, uploads and graphics sit on three volumes. The upstream HiveMQ MQTT broker is not bundled, so MQTT data sources need a broker you already run. The first boot takes a few minutes while migrations run.

From Sign-Up to a Live Scada-LTS Server In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting Scada-LTS normally means a Tomcat container, a private database, first-boot migrations, a domain and a certificate before a single data source exists. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Scada-LTS from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain — the template needs no other app-specific fields.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned Scada-LTS 2.7.8.1 image alongside a private MySQL 8.0.32 service, generate the database credentials and admin password, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In And Add A Data Source
Wait a few minutes for the first-boot database migrations, then open https://<your-domain>/Scada-LTS/ and sign in as admin with the generated password. Create your first data source and add data points.

Everything Scada-LTS Does, On Your Own Server

Scada-LTS runs in full here — the same data acquisition, alarms and HMI tooling as any self-hosted install, on infrastructure you control.

Data Sources And Points
Collect values from devices and protocols through data sources and data points, including built-in virtual sources for testing and simulation.
Live Watch Lists
Watch live values in watch lists and point detail pages, with history stored in the private MySQL database.
Graphical Views And Alarms
Build graphical views and alarm handling for operators, all from a browser.
Secured From The Start
The upstream admin/admin login is replaced by a generated password, and SOAP API authentication is turned on by default.
Private MySQL Database
A private MySQL 8.0 service that is never published on the server — reachable only by Scada-LTS itself.
Data That Survives A Restart
Data sources, data points, collected history, uploads and graphics all survive an xCloud restart.

What You Can Do With Scada-LTS

Collect readings from field devices
Define data sources and data points and let Scada-LTS poll them, with point history stored in MySQL.
Raise alarms on out-of-range values
Configure alarms on data points, and set up SMTP in System Settings so the right people are emailed.
Draw a graphical view of a plant or site
Build graphical views in the browser to show live values on a schematic for operators.
Feed data to other tools
Use the REST API documented by upstream, or the SOAP API with credentials in its authentication header, to read or write values.

Scada-LTS vs Alternatives

Commercial SCADA software: Licensed monitoring suites sold by vendors. A Scada-LTS alternative to commercial SCADA software is open source under the GPL, running on a server you control with its own MySQL database.
ThingsBoard: ThingsBoard has its own OneClick page. In a Scada-LTS vs ThingsBoard comparison, Scada-LTS is a SCADA system with graphical views and alarms, so compare device protocols and dashboards against your plant.
Node-RED: Node-RED has its own OneClick page. It wires flows between devices and services, whereas Scada-LTS gives operators data points, alarms and graphical views.
Grafana: Grafana has its own OneClick page. Scada-LTS collects values from devices through its own data sources and adds alarms and graphical views for operators, so compare which part of that chain you need.

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 Scada-LTS free?

Yes. Scada-LTS is released under the GNU General Public License, with nothing charged per data point or per user by the project. You pay for the Cloud VPS that runs Tomcat and MySQL, which is where point history accumulates.

How much RAM does Scada-LTS need?

The manifest asks for 4096 MB of RAM, 2 CPU cores and 10 GB of disk, with the Java heap reserved at 2 GB. That floor is why this page sells the 16 GB plan as the entry rung, with room for point history.

Can you self-host Scada-LTS with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Scada-LTS Docker hosting without the wiring: the scadalts v2.7.8.1 image and MySQL 8.0.32, both pinned by digest, generated database credentials, three named volumes and HTTPS. MySQL has no published port.

How do I sign in to Scada-LTS the first time?

Open /Scada-LTS/ on your domain and sign in as admin with the password from your xCloud credentials panel. The upstream admin/admin default does not work here. The first boot takes a few minutes while migrations run.

Can I change the Scada-LTS admin password?

Yes. Change it under Users inside the application if you want your own value. The login form accepts passwords up to 20 characters, so pick one of that length or shorter, and keep it somewhere safe.

Does Scada-LTS include an MQTT broker?

No. The upstream HiveMQ broker is not bundled, so MQTT-based data sources must point at a broker you already run. The template keeps a single public HTTPS port for the site, so the broker would sit elsewhere.

How do I configure alarm emails in Scada-LTS?

Configure SMTP in System Settings inside the application itself, then save. The template sets up no mail server, so alarm emails are not sent until you enter your own mail provider's details and save the settings.

How does the Scada-LTS SOAP API authenticate?

SOAP API calls need credentials in the SOAP authentication header. The upstream anonymous default-admin fallback is turned off in this template, so an unauthenticated SOAP request does not run as administrator, so integrations must send real credentials.

How do I back up Scada-LTS?

Back up the three volumes together: the MySQL data volume holding configuration, users, events and point history, plus the uploads and graphics volumes. A database-only copy loses your uploaded images and views, so restore all three together.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Scada-LTS?

The install stays on v2.7.8.1 until you adopt a newer template version. Copy all three volumes, then read the upstream notes. Nothing upgrades the app by itself, and migrations run on the first start after a change.

Is there a Scada-LTS cloud service I can use?

This page is your own Scada-LTS cloud: a dedicated Cloud VPS running the open-source SCADA with a private MySQL, holding your data points and alarms on volumes of your own, with no other tenant on the server.

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.
