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.

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)

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

Assign docker to a customer
Dockers seems in onyx only available for a admin.
It shoudle be available for our customers to.33 votesopen discussion ·

While we wish it as much as you do, this is not possible to deliver Docker at customer level at the moment as customers can gain root-level access through the Docker CT and it will be an ultimate security breach.
The only generic way to deliver such function is wrapping all containers of a customer into a sort of VM similarly to Kubernetes “pods”, but Plesk itself runs in VM commonly and cannot produce extra tier of VMs. So we are very much limited by Docker itself and we are exploring how we can overcome it.
