Spacepad Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Spacepad hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Spacepad and run your own meeting room display and booking system, with tablets at room doors showing live availability from your calendars. xCloud runs the pinned Spacepad 1.9.0 image as an app container and a scheduler, restricts sign-in to the emails you list, keeps data in SQLite on a persistent volume and publishes it over HTTPS.

What is Spacepad?

Spacepad is a room display and booking system. Upstream describes simple room displays for every workplace that show room availability in real time, synced with your rooms and calendars, ideal for tablets outside meeting spaces. It connects to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or CalDAV calendars. A self-hosted Spacepad runs under the Spacepad Community License rather than an OSI open-source licence: it is free for personal use or a single display, and more displays or Pro features need a licence from spacepad.io.

On xCloud the template runs Spacepad 1.9.0 from the official image, pinned by digest, as an app container and a scheduler on one SQLite database in spacepad_storage. Sign-in is by emailed one-time link, limited to your allowed list. Spacepad sends an hourly usage report to app.spacepad.io with no opt-out, and the licence does not permit hosting it as a service for others.

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

Self-hosting a room-display system normally means two containers, a domain, a certificate and an allowed-login list before a single tablet can show availability. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick Spacepad from the OneClick catalog, choose a domain, and enter the allowed sign-in emails and/or domains, comma-separated.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned Spacepad 1.9.0 image as an app container and a scheduler container, run first-start migrations, and publish the app over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In, Connect A Calendar And Pair A Display
Open the HTTPS URL at /login with an allowed email — without SMTP configured the one-time link appears in the app container log. Connect a calendar, create a display, then enter the connect code in the Spacepad tablet app.

Everything Spacepad Does, On Your Own Server

Spacepad runs in full here: room displays fed by your own calendars, on a server you control, with Pro features unlocked by a spacepad.io licence key.

Room Displays That Show Live Availability
Show room availability on tablets mounted at meeting-room doors, pulled straight from the calendar you connect.
Connect Microsoft 365, Google Workspace Or CalDAV
Spacepad's own calendar integrations connect to the calendar system your organization already uses.
Sign-In Restricted To Your Allowed List
Only the emails and domains you enter at install time can sign in — QA confirmed a non-listed email is rejected.
No Admin Password To Manage
Users sign in with a one-time emailed link (or Microsoft/Google sign-in if configured) instead of a password an administrator has to reset.
Web App And Scheduler, Two Containers
The app and its scheduler run from the same image in two containers sharing one SQLite volume, with no separate database to manage.
Restart-Safe Workspace And Calendar State
After an xCloud Restart, the workspace, calendar connection and displays were still present in QA.

What You Can Do With Spacepad

Show whether a meeting room is free
Mount a tablet at the door and let it display live availability pulled from the room's calendar.
Book a room from the door
With a Pro licence key entered in the app, let people reserve a room from the tablet with a preset or custom duration, rather than opening a calendar app.
Run room displays for a small office
Use it for one display under the Community License, or buy a Pro licence from spacepad.io when you add more.
Limit who can sign in
Set the allowed emails or domains at install so only your own people can sign in or create an account; the sign-in page itself stays publicly reachable.

Spacepad vs Alternatives

Commercial room display systems: A Spacepad alternative to commercial room display systems runs on your own Cloud VPS and the tablets you mount, with one display free under the Community License and more displays or Pro features needing a Pro licence.
Cal.com: Cal.com has its own OneClick page. In a Spacepad vs Cal.com comparison, Cal.com is a scheduling tool for booking meetings with people, whereas Spacepad shows the availability of rooms on a tablet.
Radicale: Radicale has its own OneClick page. Spacepad supports CalDAV calendars, so a CalDAV server such as Radicale can hold the room calendars that Spacepad displays.
Baikal: Baikal has its own OneClick page. It is another CalDAV server, so it stores events while Spacepad presents room availability from them.

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.

Is Spacepad free?

Spacepad is free for personal use or a single display under the Spacepad Community License, which is not an OSI open-source licence. More displays and Pro features need a Pro licence from spacepad.io. xCloud charges separately for the dedicated Cloud VPS.

Spacepad license

How much RAM does Spacepad need?

The manifest asks for 1024 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 4 GB of disk, shared by the app and scheduler containers. The 6 GB plan is the entry rung and leaves comfortable room above that floor.

Can you self-host Spacepad with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Spacepad Docker hosting without the setup: the ghcr.io/magweter/spacepad 1.9.0 image pinned by digest as an app and a scheduler container, one SQLite volume, a generated app key and HTTPS on your domain.

Which calendars does Spacepad work with?

Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and CalDAV calendars, as described by upstream. These are Spacepad's own integrations, not xCloud's. You connect a calendar after sign-in, create a display and pair the tablet app with a 6-digit code.

How do I sign in to Spacepad?

Enter an email from your allowed list at /login and Spacepad sends a one-time link. Without SMTP settings in the Environment editor the link is not emailed; it is written to the app container log. There is no admin password.

Does Spacepad send data externally?

Yes. Spacepad sends an hourly usage report to app.spacepad.io with the instance key, version, counts and user emails, and there is no opt-out. The template discloses this, and so do we, so decide before you deploy.

Can I host Spacepad as a service for other customers?

No. The Community License does not permit hosting Spacepad as a service for others without written permission from the author. This deployment is for your own organization's room displays, so do not resell access to it or run it for client companies.

How do I back up Spacepad?

Back up the spacepad_storage volume, which holds the SQLite database, uploaded logos and backgrounds, and logs, together with your APP_KEY. Stop the stack first. Rotating APP_KEY signs users out and breaks stored calendar connections, so keep it with the backup.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Spacepad?

The install stays on Spacepad 1.9.0 until you adopt a newer template version. Stop the stack, copy spacepad_storage and skim the upstream release notes. Nothing upgrades the app by itself, and a redeploy keeps the volume.

Is there a Spacepad cloud service I can use?

This page is your own Spacepad cloud: a dedicated Cloud VPS running the app for your organization's displays, with data on a volume of your own. Upstream also offers a cloud-hosted Spacepad and sells Pro licences at spacepad.io for additional displays and features.

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.
