  1. Add support for OpenID/SAML SSO platforms

    Please provide a way to integrate custom SSO platforms with Plesk via OpenID/SAML protocols - the OneAll Social Login extension used to have this functionality, but it's currently deprecated and its replacement (Social Login extension) does not provide these options.

  3. Add a feature wizard / feature showcase for feature on updates

    TL;DR: This is a feature request for adding a feature wizard/showcase (for lack of a better name) to Plesk. Something that simply let's administrators choose whether they want to enable the new features that have become available when a Plesk update has been installed.

    Detailed use case:
    Currently, often new features are enabled by default when a Plesk update gets installed on existing Plesk installations. This is not always desirable and can cause confusion with Plesk server administrators. For example administrators might not want to enable new features directly as they become available because they want to familiarize themself with the feature first. Which…

  4. Add possibility to configure Plesk to relay all Plesk notification emails to another SMTP server that requires authentication

    Currently, Plesk notification emails relayed to another mail server return "said: 550 Authentication is required for relay (in reply to MAIL FROM command)" errors.

    A set of separate settings that allow you to configure Plesk to relay all Plesk notification emails to another SMTP server while using authentication would be very helpful for such setups.

  5. Cloudflare DNS extension for Plesk: Add option to sync subdomain on separate subscription

    If I add a subdomain as a subscription (so that it is isolated from other (sub)domains) then I can't sync those subdomains with CloudFlare using Plesk's Cloudflare DNS.

    According to https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/ Cloudflare allows to do that only for the enterprise plan. At the moment, only very few users would benefit from a feature as most are on the Cloudflare free plan. 

    Nevertheless we will consider to implement the feature in a future update of the extension. 

    Please continue to vote for it if you believe that this is an important feature.

    Thank you for your idea! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

    Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

    The Sitejet team is working on a "copy and paste" website feature which allows users to copy a website and "import" it in another Sitejet account. It is also already possible to see a preview of the website in Sitejet Builder (screenshot -> Open preview website).

    Thank you for your idea. At this time, the Node.js drop-in replacement "bun" is in a development stage. There is still lots of work to do and bun does not yet have any significant market share. There are also no signs that a broader community is using this instead of Node.js. 

    Maybe this will change in the future. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

    Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

  8. Add PHP shmop extension support useful for Wordpress performance and site health

    When you run the Wordpress Helath Check under Wordpress Tools menù and you run a Plesk server you will get the following alert:

    You should allow inter-process communication Performance
    You should consider using shared memory (PHP shmop) to allow inter-process communication.

    Could I suggest to add the PHP shmop support?
    I'm running PHP 8.3 and I'm not sure to use SSH command to try to get this extension working, will be nice if in the future this can be integrated in Plesk as ... today Wordpress is a very used CMS and we want always to have good performance.

    Thank…

    Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.


    Meanwhile, if you want to try to install shmop yourself, these are the general steps (provided here without warranty, try it on a test server before applying it to your production system):


    1) Install Plesk PHP development package:

    For RPM-based OS (CentOS, RHEL, CloudLinux):

    # yum install plesk-php83-devel

    For Debian-based OS (Debian, Ubuntu):

    # apt install plesk-php83-dev build-essential


    2) Check what's the currrent version of your PHP 8.0

    # /opt/plesk/php/8.3/bin/php -v


    3) Download PHP source based on the version of the step 2

    For example:

    # wget https://www.php.net/distributions/php-8.3.0.tar.bz2

    Please pay special attention that the version matches the one determined in step 2!


    4) Extract the .tar file of the PHP downloaded

    # tar -xvjf /root/php-8.3.0.tar.bz2

    Again, the version shown here…

  9. Update cloudlinux db-governor users when plesk admin password/username was changed

    1. Plesk should change the string in /etc/container/mysql-governor.xml when changing the admin password with cli command: plesk bin admin --set-admin-password -passwd 'PASSWORD'

    2. Plesk should change the string in /etc/container/mysql-governor.xml when the admin password/username is changed in Plesk UI.

    In Plesk, there is an ability to create a domain alias for the main domain.
    Could you please add a possibility to sign a message with the DKIM signature message that is sent from the domain alias?

  11. Encrypt mysql connections

    In https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/32881723 the database connections from a Plesk server to an elsewhere hosted database was added, but we also want encrypted connections from a client or other server to databases hosted on the Plesk server.

    Example: An ERP system hosts its data on a centralized MySQL database on the Plesk server. Between the clients and the server all such data is currently transmitted in plain text through the Internet. Instead this data should be encrypted, because normally such data contains personal information such as names, addresses.

  13. Add a "Status" column in the Scheduled Tasks (Cron Jobs) list

    The status of a task is currently indicated by a grey or green icon in the "Schedule" column.
    It is typical for number of servers to have numerous tasks (let's say.... a bunch of them!)
    Adding the availability to sort tasks by their status will be a great help.

    Thank you for your idea. We understand that you would like to have the status icon in a separate column, making it possible to sort all jobs by their status "active" or "inactive". We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

  15. Add Purge Cache button for wordpress instance

    Add a button under each wordpress instance for purging cache.
    Its a simple solution that should be implemented. Can remove a lot of headache for any support team dealing with customers.

    A simple solution that runs with wp cache flush (wp cli), just integrate a button in wp toolkit.

  16. Allow for websocket traffic on Docker Proxy Rules

    This is a suggestion to add an option to the Docker Proxy Rule feature to add additional proxy configuration that allows websocket traffic.

    Currently when adding a Docker Proxy Rule via Plesk a proxy directive gets added to the domain's nginx configuration file. This proxy directive however does not cover configuration for websocket traffic. Because this proxy directive takes precedence over any nginx directives added to the domain's Additional nginx directives (saved in the vhost_nginx.conf) there is no way to make websockets work with a docker container when a Docker Proxy Rule is created via Plesk.

    My proposed solution would…

  17. Set HELO/EHLO name in MailEnable on Windows at Plesk installation

    A default Plesk install on Windows incorrectly sets the MailEnable hostname to servername.home which is invalid and will cause blacklisting of the Plesk server.

    It must be assigned manually:
    https://talk.plesk.com/threads/how-to-align-the-mail-servers-helo-ehlo-with-proper-dns-forward-and-reverse-values.368890/#post-924515
    ...which also may require creating a subscription on the server because the MailEnable settings requires the "sending notifications" email to be locally hosted.

    A proper hostname should be set at installation, or at minimum a notice shown to the Plesk admin that a manual setting change is necessary.

  18. Include email directories in disk space viewer extension

    As described in https://www.facebook.com/groups/plesk/posts/24753472967632807 the Disk Space Viewer extension only shows the usage of directories in a subscription's webserver file path, e.g. /var/www/vhosts/subscriptioname/. The display is misleading some users that have a lot of storage space occupied in their mailboxes. For that reason it would be good if the extension could also include the mailbox paths of a subscription.
