We are excited to bring the official release of OpenLiteSpeed in RunCloud.

All major features those are supported on Nginx server are fully available also on OpenLiteSpeed server now.

Clone Web Application

This feature now supports both Nginx and OpenLiteSpeed servers. Follow our guide for more details.

You can clone your web application easily,

• from Nginx to Nginx
• from Nginx to OpenLiteSpeed
• from OpenLiteSpeed to Nginx
• from OpenLiteSpeed to OpenLiteSpeed

Note: if you clone a WordPress site from Native Nginx stack to OpenLiteSpeed, and experience 404 page because of missing .htaccess file, you can simply login to WordPress dashboard, go to Settings - Permalinks page, and click Save Changes button.

WordPress Staging

This feature now supports both Nginx and OpenLiteSpeed servers. Follow our guide for more details.

You can easily create an exact copy of your entire website (web application) for staging and development purpose in seconds. 

Atomic Deployment (Zero Downtime Deployment)

OpenLiteSpeed .htaccess Changes Detection:

Normally once you edit/update .htaccess file in your OpenLiteSpeed web application, you will need to restart OpenLiteSpeed service to take effect for those changes.

When you use OpenLiteSpeed using RunCloud, all .htaccess changes/updates will be detected and OpenLiteSpeed service will be reloaded without downtime automatically.

Deploying & managing OpenLiteSpeed (OLS)servers has never been easier than it is with RunCloud. Follow our guide on how to install WordPress on OpenLiteSpeed.

New Update: Predefined Nginx Configs

You can use this config to disable / opt your website out of Google's FLoC Network, an initiative that seeks to replace third-party cookies with a new way for browser to group together people with similar browsing habits to enable interest-based advertising on the web. Follow our guide for more details.
• Updated predefined Nginx config: Cloudflare - Restore Visitor IP. Cloudflare has two new IPv4 address and we have updated the latest Cloudflare IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on this Nginx config. For everyone who currently use this predefined Nginx config, you can simply remove it and re-add it again on your web application.
