  2. exclude large files from backup

    Some customers store large videos for their website,
    some of them just zip an entire website for manual backup or download, and keep it in the server storage.
    some have wordpress backup plugins that will generate >500Mb files with weird extension.
    others just can't understand that a PNG file >50Mb is not good for your website.

    for the backup/restore functionality,
    I Suggest adding the ability to exclude large files.
    or even combine large files for specific extension (allow to backup any size of MPG, but exclude ZIP files >20Mb)

    currently, it is possible to exclude by extensions, but PNG and…

    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. 

    A workaround for some cases could be to place large files in separate directories and then to exclude these directories from the backup. Nevertheless we get the idea of this request to filter them from all directories by size.,

  3. Track who changed the Plesk Administrator password

    The idea is to know who and when changed the Plesk admin password. If it's from CLI, what user (usually root), or if it's on GUI, what IP.
    That should be noted in the action log.
    Right now it isn't.

  4. Add "Activate account by e-mail" option to the command adding customer via CLI

    There is no option "Activate account by e-mail" while adding customer with command like below:
    plesk bin customer --create JDoe -name "John Doe" -passwd sample -country US -notify false
    No such option in:
    # plesk bin customer --help

    Please consider adding this parameter to CLi.

  6. Identify live domains by verifying they're reachable

    I have two servers that basically just mirror my domains. When I need to update the operating system on one of them, I migrate to the other and repoint the IP addresses. Fairly simple, DIY manual failover basically. (BTW, it would be great if this was more automated with regular incremental backups to the failover server.)

    When I'm on the "inactive" failover server (when the domains are pointed at the other server's IP address), there is no indication that the domains are not reachable by the current server's IP address, which leads to confusion when switching between browser tabs to…

  7. Improve speed of Migration Manager re-sync process

    Because there is a re-sync option, the overall speed of the initial data transfer with Plesk Migration Manager (PMM) doesn't matter that much (to us), however when re-syncing the speed of the process is super important because domain web and email services on the source server must be down/offline to prevent data inconsistencies. The re-sync process currently takes roughly 1 hour per 100 subscriptions.

    Here's three ways the re-sync process could be improved to minimize web and email service downtime:

    # 1. Fetch configuration data ONCE

    PMM batches 5 subscriptions at a time, and prior to each batch of 5,…

  8. Display the number of subscriptions for a Customer

    When viewing the list of customers, a few domains are listed.
    But the NUMBER of subscriptions for each customer should be a new column, and a very useful one!

  10. Modify Wordpress integrity checker for security optimisations

    So if I create a new Wordpress installation and then I make certain minor security adjustments that are highly recommended in cybersecurity forums, then I will get errors that it is broken through Plesk. I will then forever more be warned that it is broken in Plesk (not in Wordpress) on account of absence of those files, which (as I say) is a deliberate choice I made).

    Ideally this would be modified in the install process (e.g. question: "Would you like to remove the readme and license files after installation?" (then explain why it is important to in a hover…

  11. Plesk IP management logic of VPN interfaces/IPs

    Please do the adjustments to the IP management logic of Plesk - currently it starts to manage VPN intefaces IPs by default, and it can cause issues with Apache and Nginx.
    Currently it is possible to ignore such interfaces via panel.ini, but it has to be configured prior to adding the VPN interface to server. It would be great if Plesk would show such addresses in IP Addresses menu and ask if it should manage these addresses/intefaces or just ignore them.

  15. Change on webmail subdomain log in screen to Plesk's log in screen so the user can manage their account directly

    I was considering that to increase the security of the email accounts and so that the user has direct administration over them, if it were possible that instead of the subdomain "webmail.whatevedomain.com" being directed to a webmail login screen directly, to change it to the plesk's log in screen, since when you enable the option in email accounts of "can be used to log in to plesk", the user enters to a management screen for the email account itself, this is by using the email address as the user and their same password.
    This way, the user could change their…

    Thank you for your idea. Unfortunately, the webmail apps are completely independent mail client apps. They are not programmed by the Plesk team, but by independent vendors. The functions that Plesk can control are mail server based functions and user management based functions, e.g. changing the user name (mailbox name) and password. Webmail apps that do the same to it through specific port based method. They behave like all other mail clients. Bringing both worlds into one will mean that Plesk develops and maintains their own webmail software in competition to existing solutions like SoGo, Roundcube, Horde. This would require significant resources not only for development, but also for continuous maintenance - and all that besides maintaining the integration of the other clients. There are no plans to do that at this time or in the near future.

    Nevertheless we can leave this feature idea online for some while so…

  16. Docker memory management

    Please add the ability to manage Docker containers. Currently the extension allows limiting the RAM usage, but doesn't allow adjusting swap limit and protect container from being killed by OOM.

  17. add user input context to password validator

    Please PLEASE please use https://zxcvbn-ts.github.io/zxcvbn/guide/user-input/ because otherwise using zxcvbn makes little sense.

    according to https://zxcvbn-ts.github.io/zxcvbn/guide/languages/ polish is supported language so it'd be great if polish langauge was used.

  18. 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…

  20. DNS access for domain from SSL Certificate Registration

    When registering a new SSL certificate using Let's Encrypt, is there no way you can give access to add the challenge TXT record on the DNS directly from the SSL form providing the Chalenge key. Having to have more than one form open one on domains and the other on the website config is crazy. it will just make life so much easier.
