TypeType Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy TypeType hosting and run a private web player for YouTube, NicoNico and BiliBili on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned TypeType 1.10.0 stack with a private API server, headless browser helper, downloader, PostgreSQL and cache, creates the administrator account from your install form and publishes the web app over HTTPS. Accounts, subscriptions, playlists and history stay on the server you control.

What is TypeType?

TypeType is a self-hosted video platform for YouTube, NicoNico and BiliBili. Upstream says you run one private instance and use it from the responsive web app or the native Android client, with accounts, subscriptions, history, playlists, favorites, watch progress and settings staying on the instance you control. A self-hosted TypeType is the alternative to relying on a third-party video app. The web app and stack are MIT-licensed, while the server and downloader components are GPL-3.0.

On xCloud it is TypeType 1.10.0, every image pinned by digest: the web app, an API server, a token helper, a downloader, PostgreSQL 17 and a Dragonfly cache, on two volumes. Only the web container is public. Registration and guest access are open by default, and datacenter IP addresses may be rate limited by the source platforms.

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

A TypeType stack normally means a web container, an API server, a browser helper, a downloader, a database, a cache, secrets, a domain and a certificate before the first video plays. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick TypeType from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then enter the Administrator Email for the first TypeType account.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official TypeType web app, API server, browser helper and downloader images, pinned by immutable digest, with a private PostgreSQL database and cache kept off the public internet, mount the postgres_data and downloader_data volumes, generate the secrets and the administrator password, and publish the web app over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In As Administrator
The first start sets up the database and can take two to three minutes. Then open your HTTPS TypeType URL, sign in with your Administrator Email and the password shown in the protected installation credentials, and review the registration and guest-access settings in the admin console before you add subscriptions or playlists.

Everything TypeType Does, On Your Own Server

TypeType runs in full here: a web player for several video platforms with a personal library, a downloader and an admin console, backed by a database you own.

A Web Player For Three Services
Browse and watch video from YouTube, NicoNico and BiliBili in one responsive web app served from your own domain.
Accounts And A Personal Library
Each person gets subscriptions, history, playlists, favorites and watch progress, stored in your PostgreSQL volume rather than on a third-party service.
Playback Controls
Upstream provides MSE and SABR playback with quality, audio-track and subtitle controls, plus SponsorBlock and DeArrow support.
Built-In Downloader
A downloader service creates video and audio downloads and keeps the finished files on the downloader_data volume, which holds temporary artifacts.
Administrator Created For You
An init step registers the first administrator from your install-form email and a generated password, so nobody else can claim the role on first start.
Optional Sign-On And Push
OpenID Connect sign-in and web push notifications are optional upstream features you can switch on from the environment settings; they are off until you do.

TypeType vs Alternatives

Third-party video apps: A third-party app keeps your history and subscriptions with the app's operator. A self-hosted TypeType stores them in PostgreSQL on your own Cloud VPS, and is independent of the source platforms.
Tube Archivist: Tube Archivist has its own OneClick page for archiving and indexing videos you choose. TypeType is a client and player with accounts, subscriptions and playlists across three services.
MeTube: MeTube has its own OneClick page as a web front end for downloading videos. TypeType adds a library, discovery, accounts and playback around its downloader.
TubeSync: TubeSync has its own OneClick page for syncing channels to a server. TypeType focuses on a watching interface with personal libraries and an Android client.

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.

Can you self-host TypeType with Docker?

Yes. Upstream installs a Docker Compose stack, and this template is TypeType Docker hosting already assembled: the web app, API, token helper, downloader, PostgreSQL and cache pinned by digest, two volumes and HTTPS. It is your own TypeType cloud video client.

How much RAM does TypeType need?

TypeType requires 2048 MB memory, 2 cores and 10 GB storage; idle use in QA was about 470 MiB across the stack. The starting plan here is 6 GB, which leaves room for the downloader and the database.

Is TypeType free?

Yes. The web app and stack are MIT-licensed, and the server and downloader components are GPL-3.0, so nothing is charged for software. The Cloud VPS is the one bill, cancellable any time. Accounts and history stay in PostgreSQL on your volume.

How do I sign in to TypeType the first time?

Use the Administrator Email you entered on the install form and the generated password shown in the protected installation credentials. The first start sets up the database, so allow two to three minutes and refresh if the page is not ready.

Can anyone create an account on my TypeType?

By default, yes. Registration and guest access are open, which is upstream behaviour, and the administrator can turn both off in the admin console. In QA, a later registrant received a normal user role and the first-run claim window was closed.

Is my TypeType instance private by default?

No. Anyone who can reach the site can browse, and register unless you disable it. For a private instance, turn off registration and guest access in the admin console, and consider whether the downloader should be available to guests at all.

Will YouTube always work from my TypeType server?

Not guaranteed. TypeType fetches media from the source platforms from your server's IP address, and datacenter IP addresses may be rate limited by YouTube. An outbound proxy can be configured through the YOUTUBE_OUTBOUND_PROXY_URL setting in the Environment editor.

Is there a TypeType Android app?

Yes. Upstream offers TypeType Android, a native client for Android phones and tablets that connects directly to your instance. It is available through F-Droid and as a signed APK from the project's releases. Point it at your HTTPS address and sign in.

Can I turn on single sign-on or push notifications in TypeType?

Both are optional upstream features. The environment file lists the OpenID Connect and push settings as commented lines; uncomment them and use Save and Redeploy. Neither is enabled by default, and each needs a provider or service that you set up yourself.

How do I back up TypeType?

Back up the postgres_data volume, for example with pg_dump, which holds accounts, library and history, plus the stable values in the environment file. The downloader_data volume only holds temporary download files. Test a restore on a spare install before you rely on it.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade TypeType?

The install stays on pinned 1.10.0 and every image digest until you adopt a newer template version. Back up the database, skim upstream's release notes, then redeploy and open a library page. Existing sites are never upgraded automatically.

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.
