What is Tagr?

Tagr is a self-hosted music metadata editor with a modern, intuitive web UI, billed by upstream as a browser tool with no desktop apps and no command line. It edits more than 40 metadata fields inline, manages album art, keeps a full audit trail of every change with revert, and includes a waveform player, a three-panel library view, MusicBrainz lookups and optional ListenBrainz scrobbling. A self-hosted Tagr is the alternative to a desktop tag editor, under the AGPL-3.0 licence.

On xCloud it is Tagr 1.12.0, pinned by digest, as one container with SQLite on tagr_data and your music on tagr_music. Tagr writes tag edits straight into your audio files, so it runs as root and can edit files copied in by any user. There is no browser audio upload: copy files into the music folder, then start a scan.

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

Self-hosting Tagr normally means a container, a database, a domain and a certificate before you can fix a single tag. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Tagr from the OneClick catalog. Keep or change the generated admin password — there are no other fields.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Tagr image pinned by immutable digest, apply database migrations, mount the data and music volumes, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Load Your Library And Scan
Open your HTTPS Tagr URL and sign in as admin with the password from your installation page. Copy your music into the library folder, then start a scan from the web UI.

Everything Tagr Does, On Your Own Server

Tagr runs in full here — tagging, playback and change history, on infrastructure you control.

40+ Metadata Fields
Title, artist, album, year, genre, composer, BPM, lyrics and custom tags, one track at a time or in bulk.
Album Art And MusicBrainz

Tagger And Listener Roles
Add teammates with Tagger and Listener roles, enforced by the API.
Your Library, Your Server

What You Can Do With Tagr

Fix tags across a whole library
Edit titles, artists, albums, genres and dozens of other fields one track at a time or in bulk, from a browser.
Undo a bad edit
Use the change history to see old and new values and revert one change or a whole selection at once.
Tidy cover art
View, replace and upload album art directly, alongside star ratings and track and disc numbering.
Let helpers tag without full access
Give a Tagger role to people who edit metadata and a Listener role to people who only browse and play.

Tagr vs Alternatives

Desktop tag editors: A desktop editor works on files on one computer. Self-hosted Tagr edits the library on your server from any browser, with a shared change history and roles.
beets: beets has its own OneClick page as a command-driven library manager that improves metadata from sources such as MusicBrainz. Tagr is point-and-click, with inline editing and a revertable history.
Navidrome: Navidrome has its own OneClick page as a music server and streamer. Tagr edits the tags in the files, which a streamer like Navidrome can then index.
Lidarr: Lidarr has its own OneClick page for managing and fetching music collections. Tagr only edits metadata on files you already have.

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.

Can you self-host Tagr with Docker?

Yes. Upstream is a self-hosted web app that you point at your music folders, and this template is Tagr Docker hosting already set up: the 1.12.0 image pinned by digest, two volumes, a generated admin password and HTTPS. It is your own Tagr cloud tag editor.

How much RAM does Tagr need?

Tagr lists 512 MB of memory, 1 vCPU and 10 GB of storage. The 6 GB plan is where this page starts, with headroom above what the app itself needs. Size the disk for your collection, since music sits on the tagr_music volume, and very large libraries may need more memory.

Is Tagr free?

Yes, AGPL-3.0 open source with no software fee. xCloud bills the Cloud VPS and its disk, cancellable any time. Your files stay as ordinary audio files on a volume you control. Back up the music volume before bulk edits.

How do I sign in to Tagr?

Sign in as admin with the password from your installation credentials. There is no open sign-up. The admin login is read at every start, so change it in the Environment editor and redeploy rather than inside Tagr, then create other users from the app.

How do I get my music into Tagr?

Copy files into the tagr_music volume on the server, then start a scan from the web UI. Tagr does not upload audio through the browser. Keep a copy of your original files first, because Tagr writes tag edits straight into them.

Which audio formats does Tagr support?

Upstream lists MP3, FLAC, WAV, AAC, OGG, M4A, M4B, WMA, AIFF and Opus, with lossless formats detected and badged. It reads audio properties such as codec, bitrate and sample rate, and edits tags and album art on the files themselves.

What roles does Tagr have?

Admin, Tagger and Listener. A Tagger can browse, play, edit metadata and rescan the library, while a Listener can only browse and play. Upstream says the UI hides what a role cannot do and the API enforces it on every request. Passwords are stored bcrypt-hashed.

Are Tagr share links private?

No. Shared-link pages under /share/ are public to anyone holding the link, by design. Only create one for content you are happy to make public, and remember that anyone you send it to can pass it on.

How do I back up Tagr?

Back up both volumes, tagr_data for the database and tagr_music for the library, plus a copy of your original files before bulk edits. Tagr writes tags straight into the audio files, so the music volume matters most. Stop the app before snapshotting the database.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Tagr?

The install stays on pinned 1.12.0 until you adopt a newer template version. Back up both volumes, read through upstream's release notes, then redeploy and open a track and its history. Existing sites are never upgraded automatically, and changing AUTH_SECRET signs everyone out.

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.
