TimeTagger Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy TimeTagger hosting on infrastructure you control, instead of tracking billable hours in a third-party SaaS. xCloud configures the pinned TimeTagger 26.1.3 image, generates administrator credentials, mounts persistent storage for every record, and publishes it over HTTPS in minutes.

  • No terminal
  • No technical skills needed
  • No lock-in, cancel anytime

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

Self-hosting a time tracker normally means an application server, generated secrets, a domain and a certificate before you can log a single minute. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick TimeTagger from the OneClick catalog. Enter a site title, an administrator username and a strong password — or let xCloud generate one — then choose a domain.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official TimeTagger 26.1.3 image — pinned by immutable digest — derive the bcrypt administrator credential, mount the timetagger_data volume, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain. The container port stays bound to localhost, never exposed directly.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Log A Record

    Open the generated HTTPS URL and sign in with the administrator credentials shown by xCloud. Create a timed record with a descriptive tag, confirm it appears on the timeline and in the overview, then test an xCloud Restart to see your record persist.

Everything TimeTagger Does, On Your Own Server

TimeTagger runs in full here — timeline tracking, tags, reporting and administration, on infrastructure you control.

  • Interactive Daily Timeline

    Track work directly on TimeTagger's visual timeline instead of a plain list of start and stop times.

  • Flexible Hashtag Organization

    Organize entries with hashtags instead of rigid, pre-defined projects — tag records however your work actually breaks down.

  • Built-In Reporting

    Review totals and patterns from TimeTagger's reporting views without exporting to a spreadsheet first.

  • Generated Administrator Access

    Sign in with credentials xCloud generates at install time — no public admin-setup step to secure yourself.

  • Container Port Never Public

    TimeTagger is reachable only through xCloud's HTTPS proxy; the container's own port stays bound to localhost.

  • Persistent Records Across Restarts

    Credentials and time records live on a dedicated volume, so an xCloud Restart never touches your logged hours.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

What is TimeTagger?

TimeTagger is an open-source, self-hosted time tracker with an interactive daily timeline, flexible hashtag-based organization instead of rigid projects, and built-in reporting. This template deploys version 26.1.3.

Is TimeTagger free?

Yes — TimeTagger is free and open source under the GNU General Public License v3 (GPL-3.0). What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the software itself.

Can I self-host TimeTagger?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the official TimeTagger image, pinned by immutable digest, generates administrator credentials, mounts persistent storage, and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.

Who becomes the administrator, and how do I sign in?

You choose an administrator username during installation (or accept the default), and xCloud generates a 24-character password unless you supply your own — both shown once in your Credentials panel alongside the TimeTagger URL. Open that URL and sign in with those credentials.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The administrator credential, the domain, and the HTTPS route. TimeTagger has no separate database or cache to configure — it is a single service, and only that service is published; its container port stays bound to localhost behind xCloud's proxy.

How do I change the administrator password later?

Update ADMIN_USERNAME or ADMIN_PASSWORD in xCloud's Environment editor and restart the container. Unlike templates where the generated password only initializes the account on first boot, this template's entrypoint recomputes the login credential from those environment values on every start, so a rotation does take effect.

Can multiple people use one TimeTagger installation?

This template deploys a single administrator credential, not multi-user team accounts or SSO. It is built for one person or a small team sharing one login, not a multi-tenant setup.

What should I back up?

The timetagger_data volume — it is TimeTagger's entire persistent state, holding every user's time records under the application's data directory. Back up the complete volume before any upgrade.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update TimeTagger?

No. The template pins TimeTagger by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review TimeTagger's upstream release notes, take a full timetagger_data backup, and verify sign-in, a representative record, public HTTPS and restart persistence before changing the pinned image.

What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 6 GB?

The template manifest asks for just 256 MB of RAM, one CPU core and 2 GB of disk — TimeTagger is a single lightweight Python service with no bundled database. This page still sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, matching every other OneClick app here, with far more headroom than TimeTagger alone needs.

What survives a restart?

Everything on the timetagger_data volume, including your administrator credential material and every logged record, because it is a persistent named volume. Restarting the container does not touch it.

Is TimeTagger's port exposed to the internet?

No. TimeTagger is published only through xCloud's HTTPS proxy; the container's own port stays bound to 127.0.0.1 and is never reachable directly.

Is xCloud officially partnered with TimeTagger?

No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the TimeTagger project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source TimeTagger project.

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.
