TraLa Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

TraLa hosting gives you a self-hosted links dashboard on your own domain: a searchable grid of services with automatic icons and optional grouping. Deploy TraLa 0.18.2 behind a Caddy Basic Auth gateway with a persistent config volume, over HTTPS in minutes. It starts with one sample link, and you add the rest by editing a configuration file over SSH on the server.

What is TraLa?

TraLa is a modern, dynamic dashboard that was written to show the services of a Traefik proxy, with icon auto-detection, smart grouping, manual services, a light and dark theme and several languages. A self-hosted TraLa is an alternative to a folder of browser bookmarks for a team that wants one searchable page of links, released under the MIT licence, with documentation published upstream.

On xCloud it is TraLa 0.18.2 with a Caddy gateway and a small Traefik, all pinned by digest, and the configuration file on the trala_config volume. The Traefik exists only because TraLa will not start without a Traefik API to read. It has no routers, so automatic discovery does not apply and the dashboard shows the manual links you add.

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

A TraLa install needs the dashboard, a Traefik API to read, an authentication gateway, a config file, a domain and a certificate before the first link appears. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick TraLa from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and an administrator username; the password is generated.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start TraLa 0.18.2, a router-less Traefik and a Caddy gateway, all pinned by digest, copy a one-link starter file into trala_config and publish the dashboard over HTTPS behind Basic Auth. It is ready in about 30 seconds.
Step 03
Edit The Configuration File
Sign in with the Basic Auth login, then connect over SSH, edit /config/configuration.yml inside the container as root to add entries under services.manual, and restart the container so TraLa reads the file again.

Traefik Services Dashboard: TraLa On Your Own Server

TraLa runs here as a dashboard of manual links, with its configuration on a volume you control.

Searchable Grid Of Links
List links and services as a searchable grid, with a search box that can use the search engine of your choice.
Automatic Icons
Upstream finds icons using selfh.st icons, and your visitor's browser loads them from a public CDN, so the dashboard looks good without manual setup.
Grouping
Group related services with the group setting on each entry, or let smart grouping organise them when enabled.
Manual Services
Entries under services.manual need a name and a URL and can set an icon, a group and a priority.
Light And Dark Mode
The theme follows your OS, and the interface is available in several languages, including English, German, Dutch and French.
Behind A Login
TraLa has no login of its own, so a Caddy Basic Auth gateway in front keeps strangers from seeing your links and service names.

TraLa vs Alternatives

Browser bookmarks: As a self-hosted alternative to browser bookmarks, TraLa gives a team one shared, searchable grid of links with icons, behind a Basic Auth login.
Homepage: In a TraLa vs Homepage comparison, TraLa began as a dashboard for Traefik routers, so compare how each one reads your services and how you edit links.
Homer: Homer has its own OneClick page. It is a static dashboard of links configured in YAML, so compare the configuration style you prefer.
Starbase 80: Starbase 80 has its own OneClick page. It also renders a grid of links from a configuration list, so compare the configuration style and features you need.

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.

Does TraLa discover Traefik routers automatically?

Not here. Upstream can auto-discover HTTP routers from Traefik, but this template bundles a Traefik with no routers, only so TraLa can start. The dashboard shows manual links from the configuration file, beginning with one sample link.

How do I add links to TraLa?

Connect over SSH, edit /config/configuration.yml inside the container as root, adding entries under services.manual with a name, a URL and optionally an icon, group and priority. Restart the container so TraLa reads the file again.

Does TraLa have a login?

TraLa has none of its own. A Caddy gateway puts HTTP Basic Authentication in front of the whole dashboard and API, with the username you chose and a generated password. Keep that gateway in place, because without it the dashboard is public.

Can you self-host TraLa with Docker?

Yes. Upstream publishes a container image, and this template is TraLa Docker hosting with the pieces already joined: the 0.18.2 image, Traefik and Caddy pinned by digest, a config volume and HTTPS on your own domain.

How much RAM does TraLa need?

The manifest asks for just 128 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 1 GB of disk, since TraLa is a small Go dashboard. The 6 GB plan sits far above that and leaves room for other apps.

Where do TraLa icons come from?

Upstream detects icons using selfh.st icons, loaded by the visitor's browser from a public CDN. That means viewers contact the CDN when the page loads, which you can change with the icon base URL setting.

Is TraLa open source?

Yes. TraLa is MIT licensed, so running it carries no licence cost. You pay just for the Cloud VPS that serves it, which gives you a TraLa cloud of your own instead of a hosted start page.

Can I change the TraLa language or search engine?

Yes, with optional environment settings listed as comments in the site environment: language, search engine URL, refresh interval and grouping. Uncomment one, then Save and Redeploy. Defaults are English and a Google search, and refreshes every 30 seconds.

How do I back up TraLa?

Back up the trala_config volume, which holds configuration.yml with your links. The file is only copied when the volume has none, so your edits survive restarts and redeploys. TraLa schedules no backups of its own, so add server backups or copy it yourself, and test a restore.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade TraLa?

The install stays on its pinned 0.18.2 images until you adopt a newer template version. Copy the config volume and read the upstream notes first. Nothing upgrades automatically, and your configuration file is preserved across the update.

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.
