Backup manager: Include Docker Volumes
Some of my dockers are inside the sites' folders, inside httpd, but some have different permissions or user groups that sometimes do not allow the volume to be backed up, an example was postgresql, you can test, if there is even one advice on how you could add permission to the user or the system that makes the backup so that they can copy the files, for example.
Furthermore, it would be great to get a backup of the container volumes, I believe this would make pleks the only one and come out ahead of the other panels.

Run docker containers as subscription user
Currently all containers are run as root user, however when mapping persistent volumes into subscription directories e.g. databases/config/logs, the UID that runs inside the containers are not linked to a UID outside, so containers that have restrictive file permissions (i.e. 600) in the persistent volumes, when subscription level actions are run e.g. backups, these files are not accessible by the subscription user.
Would be nice to specify a subscription user to run the docker container with (on docker cli it is possible to pass the user flag along with a UID) so that the resulting files are accessible by the…1 voteThank you for your idea!

Disable docker exposed ports in firewall
It should be possible to block the port exposing in global nets from docker containers within the firewall.
It's a massive security lack! Most applications are run behind a 'docker proxy rule', so there's no need to expose the port to the whole internet.
Docker's modifying the firewall by itself, so this has to be disabled.4 votesThank you for your idea! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

Start docker container with additional parameters
Usually, when I use existing docker images from docker-hub or even my own, there are plenty of options I would like to provide on start of a new container. Currently plesk does not support that. From the commandline a docker-container can be instantiated with several image-specific parameters. I would like to be able to do that from plesk , too.

Add portainer
while somewhat noob friendly the current docker plugin is just missing pretty much every feature to make it useful for anyone else than a hobbyist.
Portainer is multitudes more powerful and feature rich to serve the power users, for example being able to set up networks and swarms

Allow setting of ip adresses for docker containers when multiple nics are available
When a server has multiple external ip adresses (either dedicated network interfaces or alias interfaces) it should be possible via the UI to specify (in addition to the port mapping) the ip address that are recognized by the system.
This could be a dropdown with i.e.
"any" (any of the ip addresses)
