xCloud v2.8.3 delivers a powerful new Server Overview dashboard, smarter app-first site creation, 32 new One-Click Apps, improved Hermes Agent environment management, live monitoring, and important reliability fixes.

🔥 New Features in xCloud v2.8.3

New Server Dashboard

In xCloud v2.8.3, the new Server Overview dashboard provides at-a-glance insights into resource usage, site and service health, security, billing, automation, and quick actions. Learn more about managing server utilities in xCloud.

A smarter way to create sites

xCloud v2.8.3 introduces an app-first setup flow, so you no longer need to choose a server stack before knowing what you want to install. Start from the app catalog, select WordPress, a Custom App, a One-Click App, or an AI Agent, and xCloud shows the compatible server options.

• See which existing servers are compatible before you begin.
• Get clear guidance when an app needs a different stack or more resources.
• Create a compatible managed server directly from the app flow when needed.
• Compare plan, term, backup, and pricing options without leaving the setup journey.

The new app-first flow is now the default site-creation experience for all eligible users.

Introduced Live Monitoring

Live Monitoring provides regularly refreshed CPU, RAM, and disk-usage metrics directly within the xCloud dashboard. Unlike htop, which shows a real-time snapshot only while you are connected to the server, Live Monitoring helps you observe resource-usage trends over time. This makes it easier to identify recurring spikes, sustained high usage, and potential capacity issues without using the terminal.

Live Monitoring is optional and can be enabled or disabled from the server’s Server’s → Monitoring page.

32 New One-Click Apps

xCloud v2.8.3 expands your deployment options with 32 new One-Click Apps, including Apache Solr, Kanboard, Gogs, Monica, OpenBudgeteer, ZITADEL, and more.

Simplified AI Provider Connection

Previously, connecting an AI provider could require up to three browser windows, around 12 steps, and manually typing a device code while moving between pages.

Now, users can authorize OpenAI Codex or connect Claude Code directly from the provider setup page through a guided xCloud modal. The new flow needs only a few steps, includes one-click code copying, validates tokens, displays the code-expiry countdown, and automatically detects successful authorization when the user returns to xCloud.

This makes configuring AI providers for OpenClaw, Hermes, and Paperclip significantly faster and removes the previous back-and-forth between multiple pages.

Environment Management for Hermes Agent

With xCloud v2.8.3, environment management is available directly from the xCloud Hermes Agent Dashboard, allowing you to edit Hermes configuration and manage provider API keys, OAuth tokens, and other environment variables without accessing the server manually.

Together, these xCloud v2.8.3 updates make it easier to deploy applications, understand server health, manage AI providers, and keep sites running reliably.

✨ Improvements

• Site-creation server cards now show site counts for clearer capacity context.
• Basic Authentication is available again in the OneClick site Tools menu.
• Saving changes in the OneClick environment editor now redeploys the app automatically, keeping the running app aligned with its configuration.
• Site size is displayed correctly in the dashboard site grid.
• Checkout stays selectable when a selected server tier does not have a pool tile.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• OneClick App deployments now remain on the selected xCloud Managed pool.
• Fixed issues affecting Hermes version selection, the environment editor, and adding environment variables.
• OpenLiteSpeed now restarts more gracefully, reducing intermittent connection errors during restarts.
• Fixed OpenLiteSpeed Node.js sites with Cloudflare multi-domain SSL incorrectly serving 404 pages or static content instead of redirecting.
• Fixed a WordPress bulk-cleanup scheduler failure that prevented stale operations and server queues from being recovered.
• Support tickets are attributed to the correct authorized team.
• Magic Login works more reliably with older WordPress versions.
• Improved migration handling when a migrated WordPress configuration contains paths from the previous server.

xCloud v2.8.2 brings more control over GitHub connections, a smoother support experience, safer domain setup, faster dashboard pages, and reliability fixes across hosting and site management.

🔥 New Features

Repository-scoped GitHub App connections

Connect GitHub through an App and choose whether xCloud can access all repositories or only the repositories you select. Existing GitHub connections continue to work, and migration can happen without downtime.

Git setup for existing sites with GitHub Apps

Set up Git tracking on an existing WordPress or Custom PHP site using a GitHub App connection. xCloud checks that the selected repository is reachable and empty before setup begins, with clearer steps and confirmation details.

Connect one GitHub organization to multiple teams

The same GitHub organization can now be connected to more than one xCloud team. Disconnecting it from one team no longer affects the other teams.

Automatic recovery for missing Cloudflare Enterprise cache purging

xCloud now detects when the Cloudflare Enterprise cache-purge plugin is missing after a restore, clone, or manual deletion. Monitoring shows the issue and provides a one-click reinstall option.

✨ Improvements

• Cloudflare Enterprise DNS instructions now separate safe verification records from the live-traffic cutover step, with clearer warnings about DNS changes.
• HTTPS is enabled by default when you select a live domain during site creation.
• Server and site pages load faster, especially on servers with many sites.
• Hermes and OpenClaw pages now use more consistent buttons, banners, and confirmation messages.
• The New Server menu now works more clearly with keyboard navigation and screen readers.
• Git setup errors now explain the next step in plain language, such as reconnecting GitHub or selecting an empty repository.
• The New Server menu now clearly separates xCloud Managed servers from Bring Your Own VPS provider options and shows the applicable pricing before you continue.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• PHP-FPM settings are now validated before saving, preventing inconsistent values from taking multiple sites offline.
• Server details are no longer exposed to team members without server access.
• Staging-site deletion warnings now appear for every team member who can delete a site.
• Cloudflare Enterprise domains now recover more reliably when registration, secure-connection setup, or DNS timing issues occur.
• SSL renewal and health checks are more reliable for OpenLiteSpeed Node.js sites.
• Vulnerability syncing now handles concurrent updates safely and retries temporary failures.
• DeepSeek Harness servers now report provisioning failures correctly and can retry site setup without getting stuck.

🔥 New Features

Managed DeepSeek Harness Hosting

Managed DeepSeek Harness Hosting is now available on xCloud. Deploy an open-source, plugin-based AI coding agent on fully managed infrastructure and get more control over the models, tools, and workflows behind your AI development setup.

DeepSeek Harness is built around a simple idea: everything is a plugin, giving you the flexibility to create the coding environment that works for you.

Use it to:

• Choose and switch between different AI models and tools instead of being locked into one ecosystem.
• Work with files, run shell commands, search the web, plan tasks, and automate development workflows.
• Review agent actions, tool calls, and results with greater visibility into every session.
• Switch between different runtime modes depending on the task.
• Add new tools, capabilities, storage, sandboxes, and workflows without modifying the core system.
• Run a flexible alternative to Claude Code and OpenAI Codex on infrastructure managed by xCloud.

xCloud handles deployment, SSL, security, monitoring, and infrastructure management, so you can focus on building and running your AI agents.
