Tracearr Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Tracearr hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Tracearr and watch every Plex, Jellyfin and Emby stream from one dashboard on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned Tracearr 2.8.0 image with a private TimescaleDB database and Redis, generates the secrets and a setup claim code, mounts persistent volumes and publishes the dashboard over HTTPS in minutes. Register the owner account straight away.

What is Tracearr?

Tracearr is a monitoring platform for Plex, Jellyfin and Emby. Upstream says you can track streams in real time, dig into playback analytics, browse one catalog across every server and spot account sharing. It records session history with geolocation, shows transcoding versus direct play, and merges one person's several accounts into a single identity. A self-hosted Tracearr is AGPL-3.0 licensed.

On xCloud the template runs Tracearr 2.8.0 with TimescaleDB 2.29.1 on PostgreSQL 18 and Redis 8, all pinned by digest, with only the app published over HTTPS. Users, servers and history sit in the tracearr_db volume. The first account created with the generated claim code becomes the owner, and the setup page is reachable by anyone who knows the domain until then.

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

A Tracearr stack normally means an app container, a TimescaleDB database, Redis, generated secrets, volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first stream shows up. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Tracearr from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up Tracearr 2.8.0 with a private TimescaleDB database and Redis kept off the public internet, mount the tracearr_db, tracearr_redis, tracearr_backups and tracearr_images volumes, generate the secrets and setup claim code, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Claim The Owner Account
Save the setup claim code from your installation credentials, open your HTTPS Tracearr URL (the first start runs migrations and can take a minute or two) and register the owner account with the code. Then add your Plex, Jellyfin or Emby server from the dashboard.

Everything Tracearr Does, On Your Own Server

Tracearr runs in full here: live stream monitoring and playback analytics for your media servers, backed by a database you own.

Live Streams And Session History
One dashboard for active streams, session history and server health across Plex, Jellyfin and Emby.
Account-Sharing Detection
Trust scores, geolocation and automations that notify you or stop streams when an account looks shared.
Playback Analytics
See transcoding versus direct play, codecs, resolutions, devices and bandwidth for what your users actually watch.
Notifications
Send alerts to Discord, webhooks, ntfy, Gotify, Apprise, Pushover and email.
Claim Code Protects Setup
A generated setup claim code means only the person who holds it can create the owner account; once it exists, further sign-ups are refused.
Imports And Backups
Restore Tracearr backups or import Jellystat and Tautulli history through uploads of up to 500 MB.

Catch shared accounts
Use trust scores and geolocation to spot accounts used from more than one place, and set automations that notify you or stop the stream.
Understand playback load
Compare transcoding with direct play and see codecs, resolutions, devices and bandwidth to learn what your users actually stream.
Get alerted where you already chat
Route notifications to Discord, ntfy, Gotify, Pushover, email or a webhook.

Tracearr vs Alternatives

Built-in server dashboards: Each media server shows its own sessions, one server at a time. A Tracearr alternative to built-in server dashboards puts Plex, Jellyfin and Emby on a single page, with history, geolocation and sharing checks added.
Tautulli: Tautulli has its own OneClick page. In a Tracearr vs Tautulli comparison, Tautulli is the monitoring tool built for Plex, whereas Tracearr covers Plex, Jellyfin and Emby together and can import Tautulli history.
Jellystat: Jellystat has its own OneClick page. It is a statistics dashboard for Jellyfin and Emby, where Tracearr adds Plex and can import Jellystat history.
Scrob: Scrob has its own OneClick page. It keeps your own watch history and ratings, whereas Tracearr monitors what everyone is streaming from your servers.

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.

Is Tracearr free?

Yes. Tracearr is AGPL-3.0 licensed with no per-server fee from the project. The Cloud VPS running the app, TimescaleDB and Redis is your cost, and session history is what makes the database grow over time.

How much RAM does Tracearr need?

The manifest sets 1 CPU core, 1024 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk, and the template README suggests planning 2 GB in total for large libraries or history imports. The 6 GB plan covers that, and history growth is the thing to watch on disk.

Can you self-host Tracearr with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Tracearr Docker hosting without the setup: the ghcr.io/connorgallopo/tracearr 2.8.0 image, TimescaleDB and Redis, all pinned by digest, started with the flags upstream requires, plus generated secrets, persistent volumes and HTTPS.

How do I create the Tracearr owner account?

Open your site and register the owner with the setup claim code shown in your installation credentials. The first account created with the code becomes the owner, and once an owner exists further sign-ups are refused.

Is the Tracearr setup page public?

Until the owner account exists, anyone who can reach the domain sees the setup page, gated only by the claim code. Register the owner right after install. Afterwards the interface and API need a signed-in session or API key.

Can my media server be on another machine?

Yes. Add the Plex, Jellyfin or Emby server from the dashboard; it must be reachable from your xCloud server by its public or LAN address. Tracearr connects to the media server, so that address must accept connections from your xCloud server.

Can Tracearr import Tautulli or Jellystat history?

Yes. Backup restores and Jellystat or Tautulli imports are single-request uploads of up to 500 MB, and the site accepts that size. If the domain is behind Cloudflare's proxy, Cloudflare rejects request bodies above roughly 100 MB on its own.

Why do Jellyfin and Emby show plugin errors in the Tracearr log?

Jellyfin and Emby report per-server CPU, memory and bandwidth charts through the optional Tracearr SSE plugin. Without it, sync still works but the log shows plugin SSE 404 messages. They do not stop syncing, so treat them as a missing optional plugin rather than a fault.

How do I back up Tracearr?

Back up the tracearr_db and tracearr_backups volumes. The poster cache in tracearr_images and the Redis data can be rebuilt. Keep the generated secrets too, because changing them signs every user out, and test a restore before relying on it.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Tracearr?

The install stays on Tracearr 2.8.0, TimescaleDB and Redis until you adopt a newer template version. Back up the database first and read the upstream release notes. Nothing upgrades the app automatically, and a redeploy keeps the volumes.

Is there a Tracearr cloud service I can use?

This page is your own Tracearr cloud: a dedicated Cloud VPS running the open-source monitor and its database, with your session history on volumes you control. Nothing is shared with other tenants, and the owner is whoever registers first with your setup claim code.

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.
