Skyvern Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Skyvern on xCloud and get Skyvern hosting for LLM-driven browser automation on your own server. Describe a web workflow and let a vision LLM operate a real Chromium session instead of writing per-site selectors. xCloud runs the pinned images with PostgreSQL and an nginx gateway, generates a dashboard password and API key, and publishes the dashboard and API over HTTPS on one origin.

What is Skyvern?

Skyvern automates browser-based workflows using LLMs and computer vision. A self-hosted Skyvern gives you a Playwright-compatible SDK that adds AI functionality on top of Playwright, plus a no-code workflow builder, and it relies on vision LLMs rather than XPath selectors that break when layouts change. Upstream says it can work on websites it has never seen. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0, and upstream also sells Skyvern Cloud, a separate managed version.

On xCloud the install runs Skyvern v1.0.55 with its UI, PostgreSQL 14 and an nginx gateway, all pinned by digest, on one HTTPS origin. You choose OpenAI, Anthropic or Google Gemini at install and supply your own key. Three volumes hold the state: postgres_data, skyvern_data and skyvern_credentials. xCloud generates the HTTP Basic password, and Chromium starts on first boot.

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

Self-hosting Skyvern normally means an API, a UI, a database, an LLM integration, a gateway, a domain and a certificate before your first workflow runs. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Skyvern from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain, a dashboard username, your LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic or Google Gemini) and paste its API key.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the Skyvern API, UI, PostgreSQL and an nginx gateway, all pinned by immutable digest, generate your dashboard password and organization API key, and publish the gateway over HTTPS while the API, UI and database stay private.
Step 03
Sign In And Build A Workflow
Open your HTTPS URL after first boot finishes starting Chromium (typically two to five minutes), sign in with HTTP Basic, open Settings to copy your organization API key, and create your first workflow.

Everything Skyvern Does, On Your Own Server

Skyvern runs in full here — vision-LLM browser automation, the dashboard and the HTTP API, on infrastructure you control.

Vision-LLM Browser Automation
Maps what's on a page to actions through a vision LLM, so it isn't tied to fixed selectors and can handle sites it hasn't seen before.
One HTTPS Origin For Everything
Dashboard, HTTP API and websockets share a single origin, so SDK and browser clients use one URL.
Bring Your Own LLM
Choose OpenAI, Anthropic or Google Gemini at install time; your key stays on your own server.
HTTP Basic Plus API Key
A generated password protects the dashboard and artifacts; the organization API key authenticates SDK calls.
Telemetry Off By Default
Product telemetry is switched off in this template, so usage stays on your own server.
Workflows That Persist
Workflows, tasks, the organization API key and stored artifacts survive a restart on persistent volumes.

What You Can Do With Skyvern

Automate a form-filling workflow
Describe a repeated web workflow, such as filling a form on a supplier portal, and let the LLM operate Chromium without maintaining selectors.
Apply one workflow to many sites
Run a single workflow across a large number of websites, since Skyvern reasons through the interactions rather than relying on site-specific code.
Call it from your own code
Use the Playwright-compatible SDK or the HTTP API with the organization API key from Settings to start tasks from your applications.
Keep run artifacts on your server
Store videos, HAR files, downloads and sessions on volumes you control, instead of in a vendor's cloud.

Skyvern vs Alternatives

Hand-written Playwright scripts: Skyvern provides a Playwright-compatible SDK that adds AI on top of Playwright: a vision LLM maps what it sees on the page to actions, so a workflow is not tied to fixed selectors.
Browserless: In a Skyvern vs Browserless comparison, Browserless has its own OneClick page. Its catalogue entry describes headless Chromium as a service driven over WebSocket with Puppeteer or Playwright. Skyvern adds a vision LLM that decides the browser actions.
n8n: n8n has its own OneClick page. It builds automations from app integrations and AI nodes, where Skyvern drives a real browser for sites that offer no API.
Skyvern Cloud: Skyvern Cloud is the managed version run by upstream, with parallel instances and anti-bot features per its README. This page is the self-hosted open-source Skyvern on your own Cloud VPS.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Can you self-host Skyvern with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Skyvern Docker hosting without the setup: the API, UI, PostgreSQL 14 and an nginx gateway, all pinned by digest, with three named volumes, a generated dashboard password and organization API key, and HTTPS on one origin.

How much RAM does Skyvern need?

Chromium and the API are heavy, so the template floor is 4096 MB of RAM, 2 CPU cores and 20 GB of disk. A 4 GB floor is why this page sells the 16 GB plan as the entry rung.

How do I sign in to Skyvern?

Use HTTP Basic with the username you chose and the generated password in your installation credentials. For SDK or API calls, send the organization API key from Settings as the x-api-key header. First boot takes two to five minutes.

Which LLMs can Skyvern use?

OpenAI, Anthropic or Google Gemini, selected at install time with your own API key and a model key such as OPENAI_GPT5_5. Tasks fail until the key is valid for the chosen provider, and LLM usage is billed by that provider, not by xCloud.

How is Skyvern different from a Playwright script?

Skyvern uses vision LLMs to map what it sees on a page to actions, so it is not tied to fixed selectors and can handle sites it has not seen before. It also ships a Playwright-compatible SDK, so you can mix both approaches.

Can I change the Skyvern LLM provider later?

Yes. Change the dashboard username, password, provider, key and model in the Environment editor and redeploy, because they apply on every start. Keep SECRET_KEY unchanged, since it signs the organization API token minted on first boot.

What should I back up on a Skyvern server?

Back up postgres_data, skyvern_data and skyvern_credentials together, plus the stable SECRET_KEY. The skyvern_data volume can hold cookies, tokens and retrieved files from runs, so treat it and its backups as sensitive, and stop the stack before a filesystem-level copy for consistency.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Skyvern?

v1.0.55 and PostgreSQL 14 stay pinned until you move to a newer template version. Copy all three volumes first and read the project's notes. A running site never upgrades itself, and POSTGRES_PASSWORD only applies to an empty database.

Is Skyvern free?

Skyvern's open-source code is AGPL-3.0, with no software fee. Two things cost money: the dedicated Cloud VPS, and your own LLM provider usage. Upstream sells Skyvern Cloud separately, and this template does not include it.

Is Skyvern Cloud the same as self-hosted Skyvern?

No. Skyvern Cloud is upstream's managed service, which per its README runs multiple instances in parallel and bundles anti-bot detection. This template is the self-hosted version on your own server and does not include those cloud features.

Is there a Skyvern cloud service on xCloud?

Not as a vendor service. Skyvern here sits on a Cloud VPS that xCloud prepares for you, with workflows, artifacts and the database on volumes you own and the LLM key kept on your 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.
