What is Steedos?

Steedos is an open-source low-code platform for building business applications and workflows. Upstream describes the platform as a metadata-driven architecture with generated APIs, workflow automation, permissions and a schema-driven interface, and says its core is evolving into ObjectStack while version 2 remains supported. A self-hosted Steedos is an alternative to a hosted business platform such as Salesforce, licensed AGPL-3.0, not MIT, so the source must be available for the version you run.

On xCloud it is Steedos 3.0.14 from the community image, pinned by digest, with MongoDB 4.4, Redis 6 and NATS 2.9 on a private network. Application data and generated secrets sit on steedos_storage, and records on steedos_mongodb. xCloud serves it over HTTPS. There is no preset admin password: the first registered user becomes the administrator.

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

A Steedos stack needs the platform, MongoDB, Redis, NATS, generated secrets, two volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first app. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Steedos from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and a server with at least 4 GB of RAM; the install form has no fields.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start steedos/steedos-community:3.0.14 with MongoDB 4.4, Redis 6 and NATS 2.9 on a private network, generate the database credentials and secrets, mount two volumes and publish it over HTTPS.
Step 03
Register The First Administrator
Open the URL right after install and sign up through the open signup page. The first registered user becomes the initial account administrator, so do it before you share the address, then build your first app on a small test object.

Build Business Applications And Workflows: Steedos On Your Own Server

Steedos runs here as the community platform, with its records in MongoDB on volumes you control.

Metadata-Driven Platform
Upstream describes a metadata-driven architecture, so objects, logic and pages are defined as metadata rather than hand-written screens.
Generated APIs
Upstream says the runtime exposes GraphQL and REST APIs for every model you define, so other systems can read and write your data.
Workflow And Permissions
Workflow automation and permissions are part of the runtime, letting you route approvals and control who sees which records.
Schema-Driven Interface
Pages are rendered from metadata, so changing a definition changes the interface without separate front-end work.
MongoDB, Redis And NATS Included
Application records live in a private MongoDB. Redis and NATS support the services, and none publishes a host port.
Uploads Up To 100 MB
Files up to 100 MB each can be uploaded. The optional tables module is not claimed to work, and a non-fatal boot message can appear.

Steedos vs Alternatives

Salesforce: As a self-hosted alternative to Salesforce for custom business apps, Steedos keeps objects, records and workflows on your server under AGPL-3.0. It does not replicate every Salesforce feature.
Appsmith: In a Steedos vs Appsmith comparison, both build internal tools, so compare how each one models data, builds screens and runs workflows against your own use case.
Budibase: Budibase has its own OneClick page. Steedos defines objects, pages and workflows as metadata under AGPL-3.0, so compare that model, data sources and licensing against your needs.
Odoo: Odoo has its own OneClick page. Steedos is a platform for defining your own objects, records and workflows, so compare it against the business processes 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.

Who is the first Steedos administrator?

The first person to sign up. Steedos does not create an administrator from environment variables, so open the URL right after install and register through the open signup page. That account becomes the initial account administrator.

Is Steedos MIT licensed?

No. The upstream README badge says MIT, but the LICENSE.txt at v3.0.14 is AGPL-3.0 and that file governs. Operators of a network service should be able to obtain the corresponding source for the version they run.

Which database does Steedos use?

MongoDB 4.4 on a private network, with Redis 6 and NATS 2.9 beside it. The template generates the MongoDB user and password plus encryption, supervisor and Node-RED secrets. None of these services publishes a host port.

Can you self-host Steedos with Docker?

Yes. Steedos publishes a community image, and this template is Steedos Docker hosting without the setup: the 3.0.14 image pinned by digest, MongoDB, Redis and NATS, two volumes and HTTPS on your own domain, so none of the services need wiring by hand.

How much RAM does Steedos need?

The manifest asks for 4096 MB of RAM, 2 CPU cores and 20 GB of disk, because Steedos, MongoDB, Redis and NATS all run together on one server. That is why this page sells the 16 GB plan.

Is Steedos open source?

Yes, under AGPL-3.0 rather than MIT, so the platform carries no licence cost. Your expense is the Cloud VPS, which turns this into a Steedos cloud of your own rather than a hosted low-code subscription.

Does Steedos support workflows?

Upstream lists workflow automation and permissions in the runtime. Exactly how you model them depends on your objects, so build a small approval flow and test it before you rely on it for real processes.

Why is there an error about Tables MongoDB at boot?

One non-fatal "Error connecting to Tables MongoDB" line can appear because the optional tables module is not set up. The platform still runs, but this page does not claim the tables module works, so do not plan around it.

How do I back up Steedos?

Back up steedos_storage and steedos_mongodb together. The storage volume holds configuration, uploads, generated secrets and package cache, and MongoDB holds records. Keep the generated values with the backup, and restore both volumes together on a spare install first.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Steedos?

The install stays on its pinned 3.0.14 image until you adopt a newer template version. Review release notes, back up both volumes and test the upgrade on a restored copy first. Nothing upgrades automatically, and a redeploy keeps both volumes.

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.
