VoidAuth Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

VoidAuth hosting on xCloud lets you deploy VoidAuth, an open-source SSO authentication and user management provider for self-hosted applications, on your own domain. xCloud launches the pinned official image with a private PostgreSQL database, generates the storage encryption key and database password, keeps two volumes and publishes it over HTTPS. The administrator has no password until you generate a reset link, and registration is by invitation only.

What is VoidAuth?

VoidAuth is an open-source SSO authentication and user management provider for self-hosted applications. It acts as an OpenID Connect provider, offers Proxy ForwardAuth and an LDAP directory server, manages users and groups, supports self-registration and admin-issued invitations, multi-factor authentication, passkeys and passkey-only accounts, and customises its logo and email templates. A self-hosted VoidAuth is an SSO and OIDC provider on your own server, an alternative to Okta. It is AGPL-3.0 licensed, and upstream says it has not been audited.

On xCloud it is VoidAuth 1.16.0, the official image pinned by digest, with PostgreSQL. The voidauth_config and voidauth_db volumes hold configuration and the database. The administrator account is auth_admin, with no usable password until you generate a reset link over SSH. A generated storage key encrypts stored secrets and OIDC client secrets. The optional LDAP server is disabled here.

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

Self-hosting an identity provider normally means a container, a private database, generated secrets, a domain and a certificate before a single user can sign in. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick VoidAuth from the OneClick catalog. Enter a domain — the template needs no other app-specific fields.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned VoidAuth 1.16.0 image, generate the storage encryption key and database password, bring up a private PostgreSQL 18 database, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Claim The Admin Account
Keep the storage encryption key from your installation credentials, run the password-reset command from the post-install message over SSH, open the link it prints, choose a password, sign in as auth_admin, then create a named administrator and add it to the auth_admins group.

Everything VoidAuth Does, On Your Own Server

VoidAuth runs here as single sign-on and user management for your self-hosted apps, on infrastructure you control.

OpenID Connect Provider
Act as an OIDC identity provider for any app that supports it, with one login shared across your self-hosted stack.
Proxy Authentication
Protect apps that don't natively support OIDC by putting VoidAuth's proxy authentication in front of them.
Passkeys And MFA
Let users sign in with passkeys and add multi-factor authentication on top.
Invitation-Based Access
Invite users by link and organise who can reach what with groups — self-registration stays off by default.
Private PostgreSQL Database
Users, groups, OIDC clients and keys are stored in a private PostgreSQL 18 database with no public port.
Your Identity Data, Your Server
Accounts, groups and client secrets stay on a server you control instead of a third-party identity service.

What You Can Do With VoidAuth

One login for your self-hosted apps
Register each application as an OIDC client and let people sign in once, so a household or team does not keep a separate password per service.
Protect apps that have no login
Use Proxy ForwardAuth in front of a service that lacks authentication, so only signed-in users reach it through your reverse proxy.
Invite people instead of opening sign-up
Send invitations from the admin panel and keep self-registration off, so only people you chose can create an account on your provider.
Use passkeys and multi-factor sign-in
Offer passkeys, passkey-only accounts and multi-factor authentication, so accounts do not rely on passwords alone.

VoidAuth vs Alternatives

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.

How much RAM does VoidAuth need?

VoidAuth asks for 512 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 4 GB of disk in its template, for the app and PostgreSQL. The 6 GB plan is far above that, so the applications that sign in through it can share the server.

Can you self-host VoidAuth with Docker?

Yes, and this template is voidauth docker hosting without the setup: the official image pinned by digest, a private PostgreSQL database, the voidauth_config and voidauth_db volumes, a generated storage key and HTTPS on your own domain.

What authentication methods does VoidAuth support?

Upstream lists an OpenID Connect provider, Proxy ForwardAuth, an LDAP directory server, multi-factor authentication, passkeys and passkey-only accounts, and password reset with email verification. This template leaves the LDAP server disabled, and email features need SMTP in the Environment editor.

How do I set the VoidAuth admin password?

The auth_admin account has no usable password yet. Run the user password-reset command inside the container over SSH, open the link it prints within two hours and choose a password. Then create a named administrator and add it to auth_admins.

Can anyone register on my VoidAuth?

No. Self-registration is off, so people join only by invitation. Administrators create an invitation and send its link. Configure SMTP in the Environment editor before inviting users, as the template advises, so invitation and password-reset email can be delivered.

Is VoidAuth an alternative to Okta or Authelia?

For single sign-on to self-hosted apps, yes. Upstream describes an SSO and user management provider and does not mention Okta or Authelia. It also states VoidAuth is not audited, so weigh that before exposing sensitive systems.

Is VoidAuth free?

Yes. VoidAuth is AGPL-3.0 software, so identity management costs nothing in licence fees. The Cloud VPS is your only bill, giving you a VoidAuth cloud install whose user directory stays on your own server. Upstream says it is not audited.

How do I back up VoidAuth?

Back up voidauth_db, which holds users and settings, and voidauth_config, and keep the generated storage key with them. Without that key, stored client secrets cannot be decrypted. Test a restore before you depend on it.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade VoidAuth?

VoidAuth stays on its pinned 1.16.0 image until a newer template version is adopted. Copy both volumes first and check the release notes. Upgrades never run automatically, and redeploying keeps your users in place. Keep STORAGE_KEY unchanged throughout.

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.
