Uptrace Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Uptrace on xCloud and get Uptrace hosting for OpenTelemetry tracing, metrics and logs on your own server. xCloud runs the pinned image with private ClickHouse, PostgreSQL and Redis services, generates the admin password, tokens and secret key, mounts persistent volumes for both databases, and publishes the interface and OTLP/HTTP ingest over HTTPS, ready for your SDKs and collectors to start sending data within minutes of the first boot.

What is Uptrace?

Uptrace is an open-source APM that supports distributed tracing, metrics and logs, and a self-hosted Uptrace uses the OpenTelemetry framework to collect data and ClickHouse to store it. Upstream lists a single UI for traces, metrics and logs, pre-built dashboards, a service graph, alerting rules and notifications; teams can run it in place of a hosted APM service such as Datadog. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0.

On xCloud the install runs Uptrace 2.0.3 with ClickHouse 25.3.3, PostgreSQL 15 and Redis 7.4, all pinned by digest and kept private. The uptrace_clickhouse_data volume holds telemetry and uptrace_postgres_data holds metadata such as dashboards and alerts. xCloud generates the admin password and project tokens. OTLP/HTTP uses your HTTPS domain, while OTLP gRPC is a separate plaintext port.

From Sign-Up to Your First Trace In 3 Easy Steps

An Uptrace stack normally means the app, ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, Redis, generated secrets, volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first span arrives. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Uptrace from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then enter the admin email you will sign in with — it is the only field.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Uptrace image pinned by digest with private ClickHouse, PostgreSQL and Redis services that publish no host ports, mount the uptrace_clickhouse_data and uptrace_postgres_data volumes, generate the passwords, tokens and secret key, and publish the interface over HTTPS.
Step 03
Send Your First Span
Save the admin password and project DSN from the protected installation credentials, wait one to three minutes for the first boot, then sign in over HTTPS. Point an OpenTelemetry SDK or Collector at the DSN and watch the span appear under Spans.

Everything Uptrace Does, On Your Own Server

Uptrace runs in full here: an OpenTelemetry backend with its own storage, dashboards and alerting, on a domain you control.

Distributed Tracing
Query spans and follow requests across services, with traces, metrics and logs viewed in one interface.
OpenTelemetry Ingest
Accepts OTLP over HTTP through your HTTPS domain, and over gRPC on a separate plaintext port.
Metrics And Dashboards
Query metrics and build dashboards over the data your services send.
Alerting
Set alerts for spans, logs and metrics, and send notifications by Slack, webhooks, AlertManager or email (email needs SMTP configured first).
Per-Project Tokens
Give each service its own project token, so teams can write telemetry without sharing admin access.
Private Storage Included
ClickHouse holds traces, logs and metrics, PostgreSQL holds dashboards and alert rules, and both stay on the install's private network.

What You Can Do With Uptrace

Follow a request across services
Collect distributed traces over OpenTelemetry and follow a request through every service that touched it.
Keep telemetry on your own server
Store traces, metrics and logs on a server you control instead of sending them to a hosted APM service.
Alert on what matters
Query spans and metrics, chart them on dashboards and be notified when spans, logs or metrics cross a rule you set.
Give each service its own token
Issue a project token per service so teams can ship telemetry without receiving admin access.

Uptrace vs Alternatives

Datadog: Datadog is a hosted APM service. As a Datadog alternative, Uptrace keeps traces, metrics and logs in ClickHouse on your own server, and accepts data from OpenTelemetry SDKs and collectors.
SigNoz: In an Uptrace vs SigNoz comparison, SigNoz has its own OneClick page. Its catalogue entry describes an open-source observability platform on OpenTelemetry with dashboards, service maps, alerts and a query builder.
Grafana: Grafana has its own OneClick page. It visualises metrics, logs and traces from separate data sources, where Uptrace stores and queries the OpenTelemetry data itself.
OpenLIT: OpenLIT has its own OneClick page. Its catalogue entry describes an observability platform for AI applications that collects OpenTelemetry data, a narrower focus than Uptrace's general APM.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Can you self-host Uptrace with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Uptrace Docker hosting without the setup. Upstream needs ClickHouse and PostgreSQL alongside the app; here xCloud runs the pinned Uptrace 2.0.3 image with private ClickHouse, PostgreSQL and Redis, two volumes, generated secrets and HTTPS.

How much RAM does Uptrace need?

The template asks for 2 CPU cores, 4096 MB of RAM and 20 GB of disk, and QA measured about 360 to 560 MiB after telemetry was ingested. A 4 GB floor is why this page sells the 16 GB plan as the entry rung.

How do I sign in to Uptrace?

Use the admin email you entered at install and the generated admin password from the installation credentials. There is no public sign-up, so only the account created by this install can log in. First boot takes one to three minutes.

How do I send telemetry to Uptrace?

Use the project DSN from the protected installation credentials. OTLP/HTTP goes through your HTTPS domain with the uptrace-dsn header, while OTLP gRPC uses a separate published raw TCP port that is plaintext, so keep it off untrusted networks.

How should I handle Uptrace project tokens?

Treat them as secrets: anyone with a project token can write telemetry into that project. Changing a token means updating every SDK and collector that uses it, so give each service its own token and rotate them on a schedule.

Can Uptrace send alert notifications?

Yes. Upstream lists alerting rules with notifications via email, Slack, webhooks and AlertManager. Email needs the optional SMTP settings in the environment file first; the template does not set up a mail relay for you.

What should I back up on an Uptrace server?

Back up both database volumes, uptrace_clickhouse_data and uptrace_postgres_data, together, along with the stable environment values. Redis keeps no data by design. ClickHouse disk use grows with ingest volume, so size the backup accordingly and keep a copy off the server.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Uptrace?

2.0.3 is upstream's latest tag and a release candidate exists, but this install stays pinned until you take a newer template version. Copy both database volumes and skim the changelog first. Nothing upgrades a running site.

Is Uptrace free?

Yes. Uptrace is released under AGPL-3.0 and costs nothing as software. The bill is the dedicated Cloud VPS, whose disk fills with traces, logs and metrics at a rate set by your ingest volume and retention.

Does the Uptrace UI contact any outside service?

It loads user avatars from gravatar.com, so a signed-in browser sends a hash of the user's email address to that service. Nothing else outside is required for the stack to run, and retention is set per project.

Is there an Uptrace cloud service?

Upstream offers hosted options, but this page is different. Uptrace cloud hosting here means your own stack runs on a Cloud VPS that xCloud prepares, with telemetry and metadata on volumes you own, and no vendor account in between.

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.
