solidtime Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

solidtime hosting on xCloud lets you deploy solidtime, a modern open-source time-tracking app for freelancers and agencies, on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned application with private PostgreSQL and a PDF renderer, generates the application key and the administrator password, keeps two volumes for your data and publishes it over HTTPS. The first account is already verified, so no mail server is needed.

What is solidtime?

solidtime is a modern open-source time-tracking app for freelancers and agencies, built with Laravel and Vue. It tracks time against clients, projects and tasks, supports billable rates at project, project-member, organization-member and organization level, several organizations under one account, roles and permissions, and imports from Toggl, Clockify and Timeentry CSV. A self-hosted solidtime is open-source time tracking on your own server, an alternative to Toggl. It is licensed AGPL-3.0.

On xCloud it is solidtime 0.19.1, the official image pinned by digest, with PostgreSQL 15 and Gotenberg for PDF exports, all private to the install. The solidtime_database and solidtime_storage volumes hold the data. xCloud creates the first administrator with your email and a generated password, and it generates the application key, which you must keep stable.

From Sign-Up to Your First Timer In Just 3 Easy Steps

A solidtime stack normally means an app container, PostgreSQL, a PDF renderer, a queue worker, a scheduler, secrets, volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first timer. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick solidtime from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then enter the administrator email — the only app-specific field.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official solidtime image, pinned by immutable digest, with a private PostgreSQL 15 database, a Gotenberg PDF renderer, a queue worker and a scheduler, none with a public port. The solidtime_database and solidtime_storage volumes persist your data, the database and application secrets are generated, and the app is published over HTTPS.
Step 03
Sign In And Start A Timer
Open your HTTPS URL and sign in with the administrator email and the generated password from the credentials panel; the account is already verified, so no SMTP is needed. Create a client and project, and start the timer. Add SMTP MAIL_* values later only to invite other users.

Everything solidtime Does, On Your Own Server

solidtime runs in full here: time tracking for clients, projects and tasks on your own domain, backed by a database you own.

Clients, Projects And Tasks
Create clients, assign projects to them and break projects into tasks, then track time against any of them.
Billable Rates
Set billable rates for projects, project members, organization members and the organization itself.
Reports And PDF Export
Overview, detailed and shared reporting views, with PDF export rendered by the bundled Gotenberg service.
Timer, Timesheet And Calendar
Day-to-day tracking through timer, timesheet and calendar views.
Organizations, Members And Roles
Run one or several organizations with members and roles, so a team can track time together.
Import From Toggl And Clockify
Bring existing time data over from Toggl, Clockify or a Timeentry CSV rather than starting empty.

What You Can Do With solidtime

Track billable hours by client and project
Log time against a client, project and task, so a freelancer can see what each engagement has cost in hours and what to bill for.
Apply different billable rates
Set rates per project, per project member or per organization member, so a mixed team with different prices produces correct billable totals.
Run several organizations from one account
Keep each client company or business unit in its own organization with its own roles, so an agency separates work without separate logins.
Move your history from Toggl or Clockify
Import existing entries from Toggl, Clockify or a Timeentry CSV, so a switch to your own server does not start from an empty history.

solidtime vs Alternatives

Toggl: Toggl is a hosted time tracker. solidtime offers an import from Toggl, and a self-hosted install keeps entries, clients and rates in your own PostgreSQL database.
Clockify: Clockify is a hosted time tracker. solidtime can import Clockify data, and running it yourself means the hours you track stay on infrastructure you control.
Kimai: Kimai has its own OneClick page. In a solidtime vs Kimai comparison, solidtime is a Laravel and Vue app with multiple organizations, billable rates at four levels and Toggl and Clockify imports.
solidtime Cloud: Upstream also offers a hosted solidtime cloud. Self-hosting is free software on your own Cloud VPS, where you handle updates and backups, and set up SMTP only if you invite other users.

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.

How much RAM does solidtime need?

The template floor is 4096 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 10 GB of disk, because PostgreSQL, the app and a PDF renderer all run. This page sells the 16 GB plan, which leaves room for reports above that floor.

Can you self-host solidtime with Docker?

Yes, and this template is solidtime docker hosting without the setup: the official image, PostgreSQL 15 and Gotenberg pinned by digest, two named volumes, a generated application key and administrator password, and HTTPS on your own domain.

How do I sign in to solidtime?

Use the administrator email you entered and the generated password from your credentials. The account is already verified, so no SMTP is needed. Keep APP_KEY stable, because changing it invalidates encrypted data and sessions.

Do I need SMTP for solidtime?

Only to invite or register other users, who must verify their email. Add MAIL_ settings in the Environment editor and redeploy. The first administrator can sign in without any mail server.

Can I import data from Toggl or Clockify into solidtime?

Yes. Upstream lists imports from Toggl, Clockify and Timeentry CSV. Run the import from inside the app after you sign in, and check a sample of entries and rates before relying on the new history.

Is solidtime an alternative to Toggl or Clockify?

For tracking billable time, yes. Upstream offers imports from both but publishes no comparison. Self-hosting means you run the server and backups, and you hold the time data yourself.

Is solidtime free?

Yes. solidtime is released under AGPL-3.0 at no charge. Only the Cloud VPS costs money, so this solidtime cloud install is yours, separate from the hosted service upstream runs.

How do I back up solidtime?

Back up the PostgreSQL volume solidtime_database together with solidtime_storage, in one window, and keep APP_KEY with them. Do this before upgrades or key changes, keep a copy off the server and test a restore.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade solidtime?

solidtime stays on its pinned 0.19.1 image until a newer template version is adopted. Copy both volumes beforehand and check the release notes. No upgrade is automatic; redeploying keeps your data.

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.
