  1. Enable/disable debug in Plesk via CLI

    The suggestion is to implement CLI utilities to enable/disable Plesk debug:

    plesk debug -enable
    enabled = on
    filter.priority = 7
    show.utilexec = on
    show.util
    exec_io = on

    plesk debug -enable --sql
    The same as previous + show.sql_query = on

    plesk debug -disable

    Now it is necessary to remember panel.ini path (/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/), copy panel.ini.sample, then edit it manually every time. And the same procedure to disable it.

  3. Restart services on failure using systemd

    We've noticed that Plesk services like plesk-php72-fpm are sometimes killed by the out of memory killer or otherwise crash and require manual intervention by us. The services could be made more resilient by adding the following file to supplement Plesk's service file and reloading systemd.

    cat /root/reload-on-fail.conf

    [Service]
    Restart=on-failure
    RestartSec=5s

    cp /root/reload-on-fail.conf /usr/lib/systemd/system/plesk-php*-fpm.service.d/reload-on-fail.conf && systemctl daemon-reload

    I've also made an ansible playbook for this:
    https://gist.github.com/nbeernink/679b8c0bc635158b0ea4dfb96e10c7c5

    Additionally, you can also add this to services like nginx, mysql/mariadb, dovecot and postfix and they will restart on failure as well.

    However instead of us all running these playbooks on old and new servers,…

  4. Allow fetching action log via CLI or store it at /var/log/plesk

    Would be nice to have a log viewer added to plesk cli via something like: plesk bin action_log

    Or just logging to a file in /var/log/plesk

  5. plesk control pages should include robots noindex metatag

    All PLESK control panel pages (:8443) should include a robots "noindex" metatag in the <head>-section, so Google would not index them at random.

  6. Make all e-mail templates customizable (including password reset e-mail)

    One can currently already customize a number of e-mail templates by going to "Tools and settings" -> "Notifications""

    However it would be nice if all e-mail templates where present there. The e-mail that is sent out on password resets is currently missing.

    I would like to edit that so that the panel's URL in the e-mail does not point to port :8443
    (we run a setup as described in: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213945625-How-to-make-Plesk-accessible-on-a-hostname-without-entering-the-port- )

  7. not changing event_id for event_handler

    Hi
    We built some scripts to add some new events by CLI (due it is not possible by XML- API) to our over 70 Plesk installations. We detected, that in several Plesk installations (even with the same Plesk- Version number), the IDs of the events (plesk bin event_handler --list-events) changes. So we can't use a script. We always have to check and fix the "Event" manually. it would be helpfull to use static ids (even for different versions of plesk) or a speaking id (exp. "reseller-limit-changed", "susbscripion-limit-changed")...
    Best regards

  8. Make Plesk File Sharing removeable

    It's a prominent feature that is "offered" everywhere in the GUI but one can't get rid of it when it's not used and it's not uninstallable also. Please make it removable.

  10. Add passive FTP to default Plesk Config and Firewall rule

    Right now it's required to add the passive FTP range in the FTP config and then add another firewall rule to let the clients access it.

    Please make this default to the FTP config or at least configurable in the server security settings or even in the global FTP settings page.

    Thanks!


    Firwall rules
    Name: z.B Passive FTP-Transfer
    Direction: Incoming
    Action: Allow
    Ports: e.g. 49150 - 65000 TCP (don't use ports below 10000 for security reasons)
    File: /etc/proftpd.conf
    Between <global> and </global> add the following lines:
    PassivePorts 49150 65000
    Restart service: service xinetd restart

  11. “Updates and Upgrades”-Tool (8447) doesn’t work with ECDHE-ECDSA certificate

    I changed certificate that secures Plesk. The new certificate is an ECDHE-ECDSA certificate, the default Plesk certificate is an RSA certificate. I’ve noticed that parallelsinstaller is not reachable on port 8447 (after clicking on “Updates and Upgrades” in “Tools & Settings”), in combination with the new ECDHE-ECDSA certificate. parallelsinstaller is started, listen on port 8447, doesn’t write any error to any log file and everything seems to be ok. But the web browsers say “ERRSSLVERSIONORCIPHERMISMATCH” (Vivaldi/Chrome) and “SSLERRORNOCYPHEROVERLAP” (Firefox). No cipher is accepted, I’ve tested all available from OpenSSL.

    We’ve released Let’s Encrypt Extension 2.7.2: https://ext.plesk.com/packages/f6847e61-33a7-4104-8dc9-d26a0183a8dd-letsencrypt

    Changelog:
    2.7.2 (17 January 2019)
    [*] In Plesk for Linux 17.8 and later, the extension now supports issuing ECDSA certificates. To have the extension issue certificates signed with ECDSA, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:
    [ext-letsencrypt]
    key-algorithm = ECDSA
    ecdsa-curve-name = prime256v1 ; can be omitted

  12. list the websites that are being deleted when deleting as a confirmation.

    Instead of that note that asks if we're sure we want to delete the selected subscriptions or domains, please list what is being deleted as a confirmation so that we're sure. I once accidentally deleted a whole account and had to rebuild it. To this day, I HATE deleting anything for fear that it's doing something that I didn't plan on.

  13. Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for Plesks admin url

    It would be great if we could ad a Let's Encrypt SSL to the admin url.

    Is there an easy way to do this or will there be support in Plesk to do this?

  14. Let'sEncrypt Extension for Windows & .NET platform

    I've noticed that you have developed an extension for Let'sEncrypt which is working only on Linux edition of Plesk. Why don't you take a look at ACMESharp open source project on Github which has already developed a CLI for windows and .NET?

  18. Health Monitoring in Power View

    It's a pity that Health Monitoring is not showing in Power View mode, only in Service Provider view. Adding a custom button won't help either in Power View.

  19. docker or lxc

    It wanna be nice to have docker or lxc in Plesk integrated, in that way like "cockpit" have it. That you can easily create container, set start parameter login over a console. All this over a web interface.

    Sadly at the moment virtuozzo even don't support docker - but maybe it will in the future :). And the are the doors open for docker in Plesk.

  20. Plesk CLI tool to retrieve the Plesk Key License Number

    Improve the Plesk CLI "keytool" to retrieve the currently in use / active Plesk License.

    The returnable values should be flag dependent, so for example:
    PLSK.xxxxxxxx
    PLSK.xxxxxxxx.yyyy
    DemoLicense (I think its down as expiring in 2035)
    No
    License_Installed

    This would help audit license usage on multiple servers, and make it scriptable.
