Tolgee Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Tolgee hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Tolgee and give your team a private translation workspace on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned Tolgee v3.224.8 image with a private PostgreSQL 17 database, generates the admin password and database credentials, mounts persistent volumes and publishes the app over HTTPS in minutes, with public registration switched off and no Enterprise licence key set.

What is Tolgee?

Tolgee is an open-source localization platform that upstream describes as one developers enjoy working with, and as an alternative to Crowdin, Phrase or Lokalise. Projects, languages, translation keys and translations live in one web interface and API, and Tolgee's SDKs let translators edit a string in the running app instead of passing .json or .po files around. A self-hosted Tolgee keeps keys, translations and team accounts on a server you run. The monorepo uses multiple licences, mostly Apache-2.0.

On xCloud the template runs Tolgee v3.224.8 with a private PostgreSQL 17, the embedded Postgres disabled, and persistent volumes for uploaded files and for the database. It sets no Enterprise licence key, so the ee/ features are not enabled. Public registration is off, SMTP is off, and no machine-translation or AI provider is configured until you add one.

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

A self-hosted localization platform normally means an app container, a PostgreSQL database, a JWT secret, volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first translation key. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick Tolgee from the OneClick catalog and choose a domain. There are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We run the official Tolgee image pinned by immutable digest next to a private PostgreSQL 17 database with no published port, mount the tolgee_postgres_data and tolgee_data volumes, generate the admin password, JWT secret and database credentials, and publish it over HTTPS.
Step 03
Sign In And Add Keys
Save the administrator password from the installation credentials, open your HTTPS Tolgee URL (the first start runs database migrations and can take a few minutes) and sign in as admin. Change the password, create your first project and add translation keys.

Tolgee vs Alternatives

Crowdin: A hosted localization service. Upstream calls Tolgee an open-source alternative to Crowdin, and a Tolgee alternative to Crowdin keeps keys and translations on a server you run.
Weblate: Weblate has its own OneClick page. In a Tolgee vs Weblate comparison, Tolgee connects through SDKs for in-context editing, so compare that workflow with Weblate's against how your team translates.
Phrase: A hosted translation management platform. Upstream names Tolgee as an open-source alternative to Phrase, run as software you host, with projects and translators' work on infrastructure you control.
Lokalise: A hosted localization platform. Tolgee is the open-source alternative named by upstream, with keys and translations kept on your own server.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Is Tolgee free?

The code is mainly Apache-2.0 but the monorepo uses multiple licences, and the ee/ directories fall under Tolgee's Enterprise license, which this template does not enable. You pay xCloud for the Cloud VPS, not for Tolgee.

Tolgee license

How much RAM does Tolgee need?

The manifest asks for 2 CPU cores, 2048 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk, because Tolgee is a JVM app running beside PostgreSQL. The 6 GB plan is the entry rung; the template advises more resources for large projects, many concurrent translators or heavy uploads.

Can you self-host Tolgee with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Tolgee Docker hosting without the setup: the tolgee/tolgee v3.224.8 image pinned by digest, a private PostgreSQL 17 with no published port, generated credentials and JWT secret, two volumes and HTTPS on your domain.

How do I sign in to Tolgee the first time?

Use the username admin and the generated password from your installation credentials, then change that password inside Tolgee. Until you do, the environment password is re-applied on every restart, which would undo a change made elsewhere.

Can anyone sign up on my Tolgee instance?

No. Public registration is off by default, so you invite your team from inside Tolgee. Invitation emails need SMTP, which is off, so until it is configured you will have to share access in another way.

How do I enable Tolgee invitation emails?

Email is off by default. Fill in the commented TOLGEE_SMTP_* lines in the environment file with your mail provider's details and redeploy. Password-reset emails use the same settings, so they start working at the same time.

Edit environment variables

Does Tolgee include machine translation or AI?

Not configured. No machine-translation provider is enabled by default, and the AI playground needs an LLM provider that you set up yourself. Upstream supports providers such as DeepL, Google Translate, AWS Translate and Azure Translator, which you enable in settings.

How do I back up Tolgee?

Back up tolgee_data and tolgee_postgres_data together as one consistent set. The application volume holds uploaded files and related data, and PostgreSQL holds projects, translations and users. Keep the generated secrets with the backup, and test a restore before you depend on it.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Tolgee?

The install stays on v3.224.8 until you adopt a newer template version. Back up both volumes first and read the upstream release notes, because migrations run on the first start. Nothing upgrades the app automatically.

Is there a Tolgee cloud service I can use?

This page is your own Tolgee cloud: a dedicated Cloud VPS running the self-hosted platform, with projects in a private PostgreSQL on volumes you control. Nobody else shares the instance, and you decide who is invited.

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.
