What is Tracearr?

Tracearr is an open-source monitoring platform for Plex, Jellyfin and Emby. It tracks streams in real time, analyses playback and flags account sharing, so you can see who is watching what across your media servers.

It keeps users, servers and viewing history in its own TimescaleDB database, with Redis for queues and cache. This template runs Tracearr 2.8.0 with both alongside it on your own server.

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.

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.

What does Tracearr monitor?

Plex, Jellyfin and Emby servers: live streams, session history, playback analytics and account sharing. This template deploys version 2.8.0.

How do I sign in the first time?

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

Is the 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. Optional Basic Auth at the reverse proxy is not enabled by this template.

What runs alongside Tracearr?

A TimescaleDB database (PostgreSQL 18) and Redis, both on the install's private network with no published port.

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.

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

Live-session charts for Jellyfin and Emby use an optional Tracearr plugin. Without it, sync works but the log shows plugin SSE 404 messages.

How big can an import or restore be?

Backup restores and Jellystat or Tautulli imports accept uploads of up to 500 MB. If the domain is proxied through Cloudflare, Cloudflare limits uploads to roughly 100 MB.

What should I back up?

The tracearr_db and tracearr_backups volumes. The poster cache (tracearr_images) and Redis data can be rebuilt.

Backups in xCloud

What happens if I change the generated secrets?

Keep the generated session secrets stable; changing them signs every user out.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Tracearr?

No. The template pins Tracearr 2.8.0, TimescaleDB and Redis by immutable digest; existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up the database first, read the upstream release notes, then bump the version tag and digests together 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's baseline asks for 1 CPU core, 1024 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 500 MB across the three containers. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

What survives a restart?

Users, servers and history live on persistent named volumes. In QA, the database, Redis and app restarted healthy after an xCloud Restart, and sign-in and sync still worked.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Tracearr?

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