    Nextcloud Beta is available as an extension now
    https://ext.plesk.com/packages/02092dca-71cd-4045-a017-667a57248a03-nextcloud

    Just go to the Extension Catalog in Plesk to install.

    Nextcloud is a solution similar to Owncloud, coming from the same vendor, but with extra functionality and also more common and trendy

    Feedback and further requests for adjustments can be provided to beta-extensions/at/plesk.com and/or to an online survey at https://forms.gle/9ZGifFBZo8a4t7vU8
    We are eager to hear from you!

    And thanks for your patience!

  4. Keep server up2date with "apt-get" or "yum" (update PHP, Apache, MySQL, etc)

    Hi everybody,

    Following my post on the plesk forum, I propose to the team having a features which allow the update a server (like an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade) but directly from plesk to update the server.

    Indeeed, I find really strange that there is not way to maintain a server up-to-date and we are oblige to directly to the server to launch this operation.

    Regards,

  5. make SSL Certificates for mail services manageable from Plesk

    To change SSL certs for mail services one has to manually change at least three files: (depending on system e.g.)
    /etc/postfix/postfix_default.pem
    /usr/share/imapd.pem
    /usr/share/pop3d.pem

    This is very confusion and not very usable, esp. as there are already a number of SSL ways to set certificates in Plesk (per domain, per ID, for the panel, as std. for all domains, ...)

    This could be streamlined and a simple tickbox, like 'Set this certificate for mail services' would make the life of administrators much easier!

  6. add rar extract and compress to rar and other formats as well as zip available

    add rar extract and compress to rar and other formats as well as zip available

    For developers/database admins, sometimes backups are taken in different
    formats and compression is done in different formats.

    when compressed files other than ZIP file is uploaded for websites data
    files, there is no way to uncompress them via PLESK, one has to go to SSH
    and then extract to use it.

    So compressing files/folders to multiple formats and then extraction from
    multiple compressed formats will allow more ease of use for users where
    they deal with no. of formats!

  8. Increase migration speed

    The current Migration Manager (Linux) is painfully slow. A full server migration (+/- 300GB of data) over Gigabit takes more then 12 hours. During this time lots of website will have changed MySQL data getting lost after the migration.

    The issue with the migration system in its current state is that if does site-by-site migration. If migrates site A, then goes to site B, then C, etc, etc. Because each site migration consists of a alot of different steps the servers are mostly waiting for each other to finish some process like creating mailboxes.

    The load on both the source…

    In 12.5 we changed from PMM that performed operations step by step to Migrator extension, which performs data transfer in multiple data streams. The feature to make it fully asynchronous operations not only for transfer stage as well as other performance improvements (specifically for Windows migrations) is in the cards.

    Please let us know on https://talk.plesk.com if still have problems with migration speed.

  10. Change admin username

    It should be possible for the admin user to change his user login name. The name "admin" is not very secure, because it's easiert to hack via brute force. The hackers know, the name is "admin". If the user would be able to change his login name, it would increase the security of Plesk Panel.

  11. Allow SFTP for Personal FTP Repository

    It's good that FTPS is now supported for the Personal FTP Backup Repository. But it would be even better if Backups could be transferred to another server via SSH/SFTP instead of just FTPS, for a completely encrypted connection and data transfer.

  12. Limit resources per user

    As the title says, plesk panel should be able to limit these resources, for example, per system user.

    Resources:
    RAM, CPU (%/cores), Maximum Processes per user

  15. Multiple backup rules or more options

    At this moment, you can set only 1 rule to make backups (daily, weekly, or monthly). My idea is to make multiple backup rules (ex. which daily backups should be deleted) or simply make more backup options.

    Ex:
    I want to make daily backup and delete every older than 2 days, except one day of the week and one day of the month.

    ex interface:
    Make [daily/weekly/monthly] backup and keep only:
    [n] daily backups (enabled only for daily backups)
    [n] weekly backups (enabled for daily and weekly backups)
    [n] monthly backups (enabled for daily, weekly and monthly backups)

    So, if…

    I'm glad to inform you that the request is completed and available since Plesk Obsidian 18.0.55

    We have finished our big pack of Backup improvements for the scheduler to establish a more flexible backup policy:

    • Multiple backup schedules with different destination for each schedule at once to get a flexible and robust backup policy. User can keep, for example,   hourly backups locally and weekly backups to cloud or FTP. Establishing multiple backup schedules at once is a part of a license to the Backup to Cloud Pro extension. The extension is included already to Plesk Hosting Pack.
  16. Customer email notification when mailbox quota exceeded

    It would be a very useful feature to have an email automatically injected to a customers mailbox when their quota is close to the limit and another when the mailbox quota has been exceeded with advice (customisable) on how to resolve the problem.

    Sometimes clients are unaware/forget their quota and if accessing via outlook/smartphone etc they are not aware of the limit being reached. This can result in several days without emails or emails being rejected with a "mailbox full" autoresponder. Ironically this means anyone sending emails to the client are aware the mailbox is full but the client is…
