TrailBase Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy TrailBase hosting on infrastructure you control, instead of wiring together an application server, a database and an admin panel by hand. xCloud configures the pinned TrailBase 0.33.8 image, persistent storage for its embedded SQLite databases, configuration and uploads, and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes, with a generated administrator account waiting when you sign in.

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

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

Self-hosting an application backend normally means a container, a database, generated secrets, a domain and a certificate before you can define a single table. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick TrailBase from the OneClick catalog. Choose your site title and domain, then leave the administrator password blank for a securely generated one, or enter your own.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official TrailBase 0.33.8 image — pinned by immutable digest — mount the trailbase_data volume for its embedded SQLite database, configuration and uploads, generate the administrator password, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Create Your First Table

    Open the generated HTTPS admin URL and sign in as admin@localhost with the password shown by xCloud. Create a table, define suitable API rules, and add your first application record.

Everything TrailBase Does, On Your Own Server

TrailBase runs in full here — APIs, authentication, storage, extensions and administration, on infrastructure you control.

  • A Compact Application Backend

    SQLite, authentication, file storage and realtime APIs together in one persistent boundary — no separate database stack to operate.

  • Type-Safe REST And Realtime APIs

    Build applications against TrailBase's type-safe REST and realtime endpoints instead of hand-rolling a backend from scratch.

  • WebAssembly Extensions

    Extend backend logic with WebAssembly, without leaving the single-container deployment this template ships.

  • Integrated Admin Dashboard

    Manage SQLite tables, records, users and settings straight from TrailBase's own administration interface.

  • Built-In Authentication

    Application users and administrator access are handled by TrailBase's own authentication, not a bolted-on service.

  • Persistent SQLite, Config And Secrets Together

    Databases, configuration, secrets, migrations, uploads and WebAssembly assets all persist on one volume across restarts.

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.
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

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.

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 TrailBase?

TrailBase is an open-source, self-hosted application backend — an embedded SQLite database, type-safe REST and realtime APIs, authentication, file storage, WebAssembly extensions and an integrated admin dashboard, all in one compact container. This template deploys version 0.33.8.

Is TrailBase free?

Yes — TrailBase is free and open source under the Open Software License 3.0 (OSL-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 TrailBase?

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

Does TrailBase need a separate database?

No. Unlike some other OneClick apps on xCloud, TrailBase's SQLite database is embedded directly inside the same container — there is no MariaDB, PostgreSQL or Redis service to configure or keep private alongside it.

How do I sign in to the admin dashboard?

Open https://your-domain/_/admin/ and sign in as admin@localhost with the password shown once in your xCloud Credentials panel. From there you can create tables, define API rules, manage users and add application records.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The pinned TrailBase image, the administrator password, persistent storage for the embedded SQLite database, the domain and the HTTPS route. TrailBase itself creates the admin@localhost account on first boot; xCloud's post-install step replaces its random bootstrap password with the one it generated and shows you.

How do I change the administrator password later?

The generated password only sets the account once, during installation — editing ADMIN_PASSWORD afterward in xCloud Environment does not rotate the live account. Run TrailBase's own change-password command against the running container instead: docker exec trailbase-<site> /app/trail --depot /app/traildepot user change-password admin@localhost "<new-password>".

What should I back up?

The complete trailbase_data volume, as one recovery point. It holds the SQLite databases, configuration, secrets, migrations, uploaded files and WebAssembly extension assets under /app/traildepot — restoring only part of it is not a recoverable TrailBase backup.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update TrailBase?

No. The template pins TrailBase by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review TrailBase's upstream release notes, back up the complete trailbase_data volume, and verify administrator sign-in and representative records before changing the pinned image.

Are the API rules safe to expose by default?

Treat them as a starting point, not a finished policy. Define restrictive API rules before exposing create, update or delete operations to application users — this template does not decide that authorization policy for you.

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

The template manifest asks for 1 GB of RAM, one CPU core and 10 GB of disk as a floor for TrailBase. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that floor for growing tables, uploads and concurrent API traffic.

What survives a restart?

Everything on the trailbase_data volume, because it is a persistent named volume. Restarting the container does not touch your tables, records, users, configuration or uploaded files.

Is xCloud officially partnered with TrailBase?

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