WorkAdventure Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy WorkAdventure hosting and give your team a virtual office and event space on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned WorkAdventure v1.34.1 images behind one HTTPS address with map storage, uploads and Redis, generates the map storage username and password, and mounts persistent volumes — people pick a name and character, walk around a 2D map and talk by video and chat when they meet.

What is WorkAdventure?

WorkAdventure is an open-source platform for designing customizable collaborative virtual worlds. With your own avatar you interact spontaneously with colleagues, clients and partners, using a video-chat system that is triggered when you approach someone.

Upstream describes it for recruitment, onboarding, training, digital workplace and internal or external events on desktop, mobile or tablet. This template deploys version v1.34.1 on your own server and domain.

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

A WorkAdventure stack normally means a web client, a game server, map storage, an uploader, an icon service, Redis, a router, a domain and a certificate before the first avatar walks in. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick WorkAdventure from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official WorkAdventure images, pinned by immutable digest — web client, game server, map storage, uploader, icon server and Redis — behind one nginx router, mount the map_storage_data and redis_data volumes, generate the map storage username and password, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Enter The World
Save the map storage username and password from the installation credentials, then open your HTTPS WorkAdventure URL, pick a name and character and walk in. When you are ready, open /map-storage/ui, upload your own map and point START_ROOM_URL at it.

Everything WorkAdventure Does, On Your Own Server

WorkAdventure runs in full here: the web client, game server and map storage on your own domain, with the uploads and persistence wired up for you.

Walk-Up Video And Chat
Avatars move on a 2D map, and a video chat starts when you approach someone. Video and audio are peer to peer, for up to four people per bubble.
Map Storage Included
Upload your own maps at /map-storage/ui and serve them from your server. Uploading or replacing a map needs the generated username and password.
No Accounts To Create
Visitors join anonymously with a name and character. Add OpenID Connect sign-in and set DISABLE_ANONYMOUS=true to restrict who can enter.
In-Game Chat And File Uploads
Chat and chat file uploads are switched on, with uploads stored in Redis up to a size limit you can change in the environment editor.
Optional Map Editor
The in-game map editor is enabled but limited to users listed in MAP_EDITOR_ALLOWED_USERS, which needs OpenID Connect.
Persistent Maps And State
Uploaded maps live on the map_storage_data volume and player variables and chat files on redis_data, and the maps were still there after an xCloud Restart in QA.

What You Can Do With WorkAdventure

A virtual office for a remote team
Give a distributed team a shared map where people can walk up to each other and talk, instead of scheduling a call for every conversation.
Meetups and events
Host a community meetup or event in a space attendees can wander around, with chat alongside the video bubbles.
Open rooms for guests
Share the link and visitors join with just a name and character, with no accounts to create. Anyone with the URL can enter, so share it only with the people you want there.
Private worlds behind your identity provider
Configure OpenID Connect and set DISABLE_ANONYMOUS=true so players have to sign in with your identity provider before they can enter.

WorkAdventure vs Alternatives

WorkAdventure SaaS: The upstream project also sells a hosted version of WorkAdventure. This page is for running it on a server you control, on your own domain.
Jitsi Meet: Browser-based video conferencing organised around meeting rooms rather than a walkable map. WorkAdventure can also be pointed at a Jitsi server through JITSI_URL.
Gather: A hosted virtual-office service, run on the vendor's servers rather than your own.

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.

I use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Do visitors need an account?

No. They pick a name and character and join; anyone with the link can enter unless you configure OpenID Connect.

Is the world public by default?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no admin account, so anyone with the URL can enter, like an open meeting room. To restrict entry, set the OPENID_* settings in the environment editor, set DISABLE_ANONYMOUS=true and redeploy.

Who can upload or change maps?

Only someone with the generated map storage username and password, which are required for uploads and for /map-storage/ui — a request without them, or with wrong ones, is refused with a 401. The in-game editor is limited to users listed in MAP_EDITOR_ALLOWED_USERS, which needs OpenID Connect.

Does the starter map run from my server?

No. The default start map is loaded from workadventure.github.io until you upload your own map and set START_ROOM_URL to it. Switching removes that external dependency.

What runs alongside WorkAdventure?

Six supporting containers: web client, game server, map storage, uploader, icon server and Redis, behind one nginx router. Only the router is published, on loopback, and the rest are private.

How does video and audio work?

Peer to peer, for up to four people per bubble. Users behind strict NAT need a STUN or TURN server, and larger bubbles need a LiveKit server. Both are separate servers you run yourself and are not part of this template.

What should I back up?

The map_storage_data and redis_data volumes, plus the stable values in the environment (secret key, map storage token and credentials).

Backups in xCloud

Does WorkAdventure send data to its developers?

The game server sends the WorkAdventure version and rough usage numbers to the upstream stats service once a day unless telemetry is disabled. Uncomment ENABLE_TELEMETRY=false in the environment editor and redeploy to turn it off.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update WorkAdventure?

No. The template pins WorkAdventure v1.34.1 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release and existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then bump the readable tag and digest together on your own schedule. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.

What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 6 GB?

The template's baseline asks for 1 CPU core, 1024 MB of RAM and 8 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 880 MiB across the seven containers. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

What survives a restart?

Maps uploaded to map storage — they were still there after an xCloud Restart in QA, because they live on a persistent named volume.

What is the licence?

AGPL-3.0 with the Commons Clause. Running it on your own server for your own use is fine; selling the software, or a service whose value derives substantially from it, is restricted by the licence.

WorkAdventure licence

Is xCloud officially partnered with WorkAdventure?

No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the WorkAdventure project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source WorkAdventure project.

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.
