SolidInvoice Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

SolidInvoice hosting on xCloud lets you deploy SolidInvoice, an open-source invoicing platform for freelancers and small businesses, on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned official image with its embedded SQLite database, secrets vault and configuration on one persistent volume, and publishes it over HTTPS. You complete the first-run wizard to create the administrator and set up your business, so client records and invoices stay on a server you control.

What is SolidInvoice?

SolidInvoice is an open-source invoicing platform for freelancers and small businesses, described as a simple and elegant invoicing solution. Quotes convert to invoices, invoices can recur, and it supports multiple currencies and taxes, per-line discounts, PDF templates, overdue detection and scheduled payment reminders, with Stripe and PayPal payment gateways through Payum. A self-hosted SolidInvoice is invoicing software on your own server, in place of a hosted billing subscription. It is MIT licensed, and upstream also sells a hosted plan.

On xCloud it is SolidInvoice 3.0.1, the official image pinned by digest, as one container with its supported embedded SQLite database. The solidinvoice_data volume holds the database, configuration, secrets vault and installation state. A fresh instance redirects to the installation wizard, where you choose SQLite and create the administrator account.

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

Self-hosting invoicing software normally means a container, persistent storage, a domain and a certificate before a single invoice can be created. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick SolidInvoice from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there is nothing else to fill in before deployment.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official SolidInvoice 3.0.1 image, pinned by immutable digest, mount the solidinvoice_data volume, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Complete Setup And Invoice
Open the Application URL, choose the embedded SQLite database, confirm the HTTPS URL, create the administrator account and company details, then create a client and a first draft invoice.

Everything SolidInvoice Does, On Your Own Server

SolidInvoice runs in full here — clients, quotes, invoices, payments and recurring billing, on infrastructure you control.

Quotes And Invoices
Create professional quotes and invoices and track each one from draft through to paid, without a third party holding the records.
Client And Contact Management
Keep every client and contact organized in one workspace, alongside the invoices and quotes tied to them.
Payments, Taxes And Discounts
Record payments and apply taxes and discounts directly on quotes and invoices as part of the normal billing workflow.
Recurring Invoices
Set up recurring billing for retainer clients instead of manually recreating the same invoice on a schedule.
Guided First-Run Setup
A first-run wizard walks through the database, HTTPS URL, administrator account and company details before first use.
Persistent Financial Records
The database, configuration and encrypted secrets vault persist on their own volume across restarts.

What You Can Do With SolidInvoice

Turn a quote into an invoice
Send a client a quote, then convert it into an invoice once accepted, so the figures carry across and nobody retypes line items.
Bill retainers on a schedule
Set up recurring invoices for monthly clients, with scheduled payment reminders and overdue detection, so late payments surface without a manual check.
Invoice in several currencies and taxes
Give each client a currency and address, and apply flat or percentage taxes, so cross-border work is billed correctly on one system.
Let clients pay online
Add payment links to invoices through gateways such as Stripe and PayPal, so a client can settle an invoice without a bank transfer.

SolidInvoice vs Alternatives

Hosted invoicing software: Upstream also sells a hosted SolidInvoice plan with managed updates and backups. Self-hosting is free software on your own server, where you run updates, backups and the email setup.
Invoice Ninja: Invoice Ninja has its own OneClick page. In a SolidInvoice vs Invoice Ninja comparison, SolidInvoice is a Symfony and PHP app that runs here with embedded SQLite and no separate database container.
InvoiceShelf: InvoiceShelf has its own OneClick page. SolidInvoice includes quotes that convert to invoices, recurring billing, per-client currencies and TOTP two-factor authentication.
Invoicerr: Invoicerr has its own OneClick page. SolidInvoice offers a REST API with token auth, role-based access control and Google OAuth sign-in alongside its invoicing features.

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 SolidInvoice need?

The template floor is 1024 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 10 GB of disk, for one PHP container with embedded SQLite. The 6 GB plan is well above that, and PDF generation and your invoice history raise real use.

Can you self-host SolidInvoice with Docker?

Yes, and this template is solidinvoice docker hosting without the setup: the official image pinned by digest, the solidinvoice_data volume, container-local HTTPS switched off because xCloud terminates TLS, and HTTPS on your own domain.

Which payment gateways does SolidInvoice support?

Upstream lists Stripe, PayPal and others through Payum, with online payment links on invoices. You add each gateway's credentials inside the app, and your own account with that provider is required.

Who becomes the administrator of SolidInvoice?

Whoever completes the first-run wizard. A fresh instance redirects there, so open the site right after install, choose the embedded SQLite database, keep the public HTTPS URL and create the administrator account.

Should I enable two-factor authentication in SolidInvoice?

Yes, since invoices hold client data and payment details. Upstream supports TOTP two-factor authentication, Google OAuth and role-based access control. Set them up under your account settings after the wizard.

Is SolidInvoice an alternative to hosted invoicing software?

For freelancers and small businesses, yes. Upstream offers it free to self-host, with a paid hosted plan as the alternative. You manage updates, backups and email delivery yourself when you self-host.

Is SolidInvoice free?

Yes. SolidInvoice is MIT licensed, with no fee for the software. Upstream sells a hosted plan as the alternative. The Cloud VPS is your only cost here, so this SolidInvoice cloud install keeps every invoice on your server.

How do I back up SolidInvoice?

Quiesce writes and back up the complete solidinvoice_data volume as one unit. It holds the SQLite database, configuration, encrypted secrets vault and installation state. Keep a copy off the server and test a restore.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade SolidInvoice?

SolidInvoice stays on its pinned 3.0.1 image until a newer template version is adopted. Copy the data volume beforehand and check the release and migration notes. Upgrades never run automatically.

Do I need to set up email for SolidInvoice?

Yes, for invoice emails, payment reminders and verification. The template configures no mail server, so add SMTP settings inside SolidInvoice. Without them, messages will not be delivered to clients.

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.
