Tinyauth Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Tinyauth hosting and put a proper login in front of the self-hosted apps that have none, from a server you control. xCloud runs the pinned Tinyauth 5.2.0 image, derives the bcrypt credential for the administrator you choose, mounts a persistent data volume for the database and OIDC keys and publishes it over HTTPS in minutes.

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

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

An auth server normally means a container, a hashed administrator, signing keys, a data volume, a domain and a certificate before the first protected app. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Tinyauth from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then set the Administrator Username and either enter your own administrator password or leave it blank for xCloud to generate one securely.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official Tinyauth 5.2.0 image, pinned by immutable digest, mount the tinyauth_data volume, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Protect An App

    Open your domain and sign in with the administrator username and generated password. Then follow the upstream proxy or OpenID Connect guide for each application you want to protect.

Everything Tinyauth Does, On Your Own Server

Tinyauth runs in full here: the login page, authorisation rules and the OpenID Connect provider, on a volume you own.

  • A Login For Apps That Have None

    Put Tinyauth in front of a self-hosted app through your reverse proxy and require sign-in before it loads.

  • OpenID Connect Provider

    Apps that speak OIDC can authenticate against Tinyauth directly; signing keys persist on the data volume.

  • Local Users And OAuth

    A configuration-backed local administrator, with OAuth providers configurable per the upstream docs.

  • No Docker Socket

    This template does not expose Docker discovery or the Docker socket.

  • No Public Signup

    The local account comes from configuration; there is no first-visitor ownership claim.

  • One Data Volume

    SQLite database, OIDC keys, resources, sessions and consent state persist on tinyauth_data.

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
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.

What is Tinyauth?

Tinyauth is a lightweight, open-source authentication, authorisation and OpenID Connect server for protecting self-hosted applications. This template deploys version 5.2.0.

How do I rotate the administrator password?

Update ADMIN_PASSWORD in the Environment editor and restart or redeploy Tinyauth. The account is configuration-backed.

Does it discover my containers?

No. This template deliberately does not expose Docker discovery or the Docker socket; configure each protected application or OIDC client by hand from the upstream documentation.

How do I upgrade safely?

Tinyauth is actively developed and configuration can change between releases. Review the release notes, stop the app, back up the volume, then change the image pin. Roll back with the previous version plus its matching backup; newer data may not be downgrade-compatible.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The pinned Tinyauth image, the url, username and password shown in the credentials panel, persistent storage on tinyauth_data, the domain and the HTTPS route. Tinyauth stays on internal port 3000, reachable only through xCloud nginx.

What should I back up?

The complete tinyauth_data volume: the SQLite database, OIDC signing keys, resources, sessions and consent state. Restore it complete, with the same image pin, before starting Tinyauth.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Tinyauth?

No. The template pins Tinyauth 5.2.0 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release, existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then update the image on your own schedule. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.

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

The template manifest asks for 1 CPU core, 512 MB of RAM and 2 GiB of disk as a floor for Tinyauth. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that floor.

What survives a restart?

Everything on tinyauth_data, because it is persistent named volume. Restarting the container does not touch that data.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Tinyauth?

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