Ticky Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Ticky hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Ticky, a modern, free and open-source Kanban board app, on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned official image with a private MySQL 8.4 database, replaces Ticky's public default administrator login with your own credentials, keeps uploads and the database on persistent volumes and publishes it over HTTPS. Self-registration is off, and you add teammates from the Admin Panel.

What is Ticky?

Ticky is a free, open-source Kanban task management app built with ASP.NET Core Blazor and described as a modern and free Kanban board app. Projects group boards that can be cloned as templates, columns can have card limits, and cards support drag-and-drop, subtasks, labels, priorities, attachments, deadlines, comments and built-in time tracking, with a Trello import that maps members. A self-hosted Ticky is a kanban board app on your own server. It is MIT licensed.

On xCloud it is Ticky 1.15.2, the official image pinned by digest, with a private MySQL 8.4 database. The ticky_db and ticky_uploads volumes hold the database and attachments. A one-time bootstrap replaces the public default login with your administrator email and generated password. Self-registration is off, and reminders and password reset by email need SMTP, which is off by default.

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

A Ticky stack normally means an app container, a database, a first administrator, volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first card. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Ticky from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, and enter the administrator email — xCloud generates the password.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Ticky image, pinned by immutable digest, with a private MySQL 8.4 database kept off the public internet, mount the ticky_db and ticky_uploads volumes, run a one-shot bootstrap container that sets your administrator credentials and then exits, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Create Your First Board
Save the generated password from the protected installation credentials, open your HTTPS Ticky URL and sign in with your administrator email. The first start can take 1-2 minutes. Then create your first project and board, or import a Trello board.

Everything Ticky Does, On Your Own Server

Ticky runs in full here: Kanban boards grouped into projects, with your data in a database and volumes you own.

Projects And Kanban Boards
Group boards into projects, drag cards between collapsible columns, and set card limits on a column.
Subtasks And Deadlines

What You Can Do With Ticky

Run a team's tasks on a kanban board
Create a project and boards with columns, drag cards between them and add subtasks, so everyone sees what is planned, doing and done.
Track the time spent on cards
Use the built-in timer on each card, so a freelancer or small team sees where hours go without a separate timer app.
Move your boards over from Trello
Import Trello boards with member mapping, so a team leaves a paid Trello setup without rebuilding every card by hand.
Keep deadlines visible
Set deadlines with colour indicators, snooze or repeat cards and send email reminders once SMTP is configured, so due dates do not slip by.

Ticky vs Alternatives

Trello: Trello is a hosted kanban service. Upstream says Ticky was built after frustration with paid power-ups, and commits to staying free and open source, with a Trello import to move boards.
Jira: Jira is a hosted issue tracker. Upstream says it also built Ticky out of frustration with Jira, offering a kanban app focused on simplicity, with projects, boards, subtasks and time tracking.
Planka: Planka has its own OneClick page. In a Ticky vs Planka comparison, Ticky's own feature list includes a built-in timer, card limits per column, snoozing and repeating cards, and Trello import.
Tenzu: Tenzu has its own OneClick page. Ticky is a kanban app with per-card time tracking and subtasks, built on ASP.NET Core Blazor and run here with MySQL.

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 Ticky need?

Ticky floors at 1024 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 4 GB of disk, covering the app and MySQL 8.4. The 6 GB plan is well above that, and attachments are what grow the uploads volume.

Can you self-host Ticky with Docker?

Yes, and this template is ticky docker hosting without the setup: the official image and MySQL 8.4 pinned by digest, the ticky_db and ticky_uploads volumes, a generated database password and HTTPS on your own domain.

Can I import boards from Trello into Ticky?

Yes. Upstream offers a Trello import with member mapping. Run it inside the app after you sign in, and check a copied board before moving the whole team, because attachments and members may need review.

Does Ticky send email reminders?

Only after you configure SMTP. Upstream sends email reminders and deadline notifications, which need SMTP, but it is off by default here. Without it, use the Admin Panel to manage users, and passwords cannot be reset by email.

Can anyone register on my Ticky?

No. Self-registration is off. Ticky normally creates a default administrator with a public login, but a bootstrap step replaces it with your credentials right after first start. Add teammates from the Admin Panel.

Is Ticky an alternative to Trello?

Yes, and its author says that was the motivation, after frustration with paid Trello power-ups and with Jira. Ticky offers projects, boards, subtasks, time tracking and a Trello import, and you run the server yourself.

Is Ticky free?

Yes. Ticky is MIT licensed, and its author commits to keeping it free and open source. The Cloud VPS is your cost, so this Ticky cloud install holds your boards in your own database.

How do I back up Ticky?

Back up the ticky_db volume, which holds the MySQL data with projects, boards and cards, and ticky_uploads, which holds attachments, together. Keep a copy off the server and test a restore.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Ticky?

Ticky stays on its pinned v1.15.2 image until a newer template version is adopted. Copy both volumes beforehand and check the release notes. Migrations run at startup; no upgrade is automatic.

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.
