Vikunja Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Vikunja hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Vikunja, a self-hosted to-do app and task manager you actually own, on your own domain. xCloud starts the pinned official image with a private PostgreSQL database, creates the first user with a generated password, keeps two volumes for files and data and publishes it over HTTPS. Public registration is disabled, so nobody can sign up on their own.

What is Vikunja?

Vikunja is an open-source, self-hosted task manager described upstream as the task manager you actually own, written in Go with a Vue.js frontend and an API. It shows a project as a list, a Gantt chart, a table or a Kanban board, shares projects with users, teams or share links, attaches files to tasks, sends reminders, supports repeating tasks, offers CalDAV and imports from Todoist, Trello and Microsoft To-Do. A self-hosted Vikunja is a self-hosted task manager on your own server. It is mostly AGPL-3.0-or-later licensed.

On xCloud it is Vikunja 2.4.0, the official image pinned by digest, with a private PostgreSQL database. The vikunja_files volume holds attachments and vikunja_db holds the database. xCloud creates the first user from your initial username and email with a generated password, and public registration is disabled. Vikunja Pro features, such as the admin panel and time tracking, are not part of this install.

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

A Vikunja install normally means the app, a PostgreSQL database, a files volume, a domain and a certificate before the first task. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Vikunja from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain, then set the initial username and the email for the first user.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start the official Vikunja image pinned by digest with a private PostgreSQL database, mount the vikunja_files and vikunja_db volumes, generate the password and publish it over HTTPS.
Step 03
Sign In And Add Your First Project
Open your HTTPS address and sign in with the initial user and generated password from your credentials. Create a project, add tasks and switch between list, Kanban, Gantt and table views.

Everything Vikunja Does, On Your Own Server

Vikunja runs here as a task manager you own: several views of the same tasks, sharing and attachments, with data in your own database.

List, Kanban, Gantt And Table
View the same project as a list, a Kanban board, a Gantt chart or a table, so planning, daily work and scheduling each get the view they need.
Share With Users Or Teams
Share projects with individual users or teams, or through share links that let others view or edit without an account.
File Attachments
Attach files to tasks. Uploads are kept in the vikunja_files volume on your server, so attachments stay with your own data.
Reminders And Repeating Tasks
Get reminders for due tasks and set tasks to repeat weekly or monthly, so recurring chores come back without being re-entered.
CalDAV Integration
Upstream lists a built-in CalDAV integration for use with existing calendar and task tools, so a CalDAV client can read your tasks.
Import From Other Tools
Upstream lists imports from Todoist, Trello and Microsoft To-Do, so moving an existing task list does not mean retyping it.

What You Can Do With Vikunja

A self-hosted task manager for teams
Share projects with a team or with individual users, so everyone works from one list of tasks on a server your organisation controls.
Plan work as Kanban or on a Gantt chart
Switch one project between a Kanban board for daily flow and a Gantt chart for dates, so planning and doing share the same tasks.
Replace a hosted to-do app
Import tasks from Todoist, Trello or Microsoft To-Do, then keep them in your own database with reminders and repeating tasks.
Open tasks in your calendar tools
Use the built-in CalDAV integration so an existing calendar or task app can read your Vikunja tasks without a separate sync service.

Vikunja vs Alternatives

Todoist: Todoist is a hosted to-do service. Upstream lists a Todoist import, so you can bring tasks into Vikunja and keep them, with attachments, in your own database and volume.
Trello: Trello is a hosted kanban service. Vikunja offers a Trello import and a Kanban view among its list, Gantt and table views, on a server you control.
Planka: Planka has its own OneClick page. In a Vikunja vs Planka comparison, Vikunja offers several views of the same tasks, including list, Gantt and table beside Kanban, plus CalDAV.
Tenzu: Tenzu has its own OneClick page. Vikunja is a task manager with sharing by user, team or link, reminders, repeating tasks and imports from other task tools.

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.

How much RAM does Vikunja need?

The template floor is 1024 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 5 GB of disk, covering the app and PostgreSQL. The 6 GB plan is well above that, and attachments are what grow the files volume over time.

Can you self-host Vikunja with Docker?

Yes, and this template is vikunja docker hosting without the setup: the official image pinned by digest, a private PostgreSQL database, the vikunja_files and vikunja_db volumes, generated secrets and a first user, and HTTPS on your own domain.

Does Vikunja support CalDAV?

Yes. Upstream lists a built-in CalDAV integration for use with existing calendar and task tools. Configure your CalDAV client with your Vikunja address and credentials, and check the Vikunja documentation for the exact path. The calendar side is a separate client.

Is Vikunja a good alternative to Todoist or Trello?

For personal and team task lists, yes. Upstream offers imports from Todoist, Trello and Microsoft To-Do, and list, Kanban, Gantt and table views. You run the server, backups and email setup yourself. Check the import on a copy first.

What is the difference between Vikunja Cloud and self-hosting?

Upstream also offers a hosted Vikunja Cloud, and a Pro add-on with an admin panel, audit logs and time tracking. This install is the self-hosted application on your own Cloud VPS, without Pro features, and you handle updates and backups.

Can anyone register on my Vikunja?

No. Public registration is disabled, and only the generated first user exists. Sign in with the initial username and password from your credentials. Password reset by email needs SMTP, which you configure yourself. Create accounts for teammates through your own process.

Is Vikunja open source?

Yes. Most of the repository is AGPL-3.0-or-later and the desktop directory is GPL-3.0-or-later, so the code costs nothing. The Cloud VPS is your cost, making this a Vikunja cloud install of your own. Pro features are not included.

How do I back up Vikunja?

Back up the vikunja_db volume, which holds the PostgreSQL database, together with vikunja_files, which holds attachments, and keep the generated service secret with them. Keep a copy off the server and test a restore before you rely on it.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Vikunja?

This install holds on its pinned 2.4.0 image until a newer template version is adopted. Before that, copy both volumes and read the release notes. No upgrade runs automatically, and redeploying keeps your data in place.

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.
