    Currently docker containers are skipped by the backup manager, would be great to include them as well.

  2. sort, archive or filter (not spam) email on server directly when received

    I'm using different (imap) clients on different devices to read emails. Many of them can be sorted / filtered / archived in specific subfolders by subject, sender or similar.
    Most - but not all - clients can be configured to do so - but this means also to reconfigure several clients on rule changes.

    So i'd like to suggest the possibility to handle emails on receiving on the server.
    E.g:
    - if sender ends with "domain.foo" or subject contains "project bar" then move to folder bar and mark as read
    - if sender is "foo@domain.bar" forward to "…

  3. Different notification settings for available WordPress updates: Plugin, Theme or WordPress core

    Email notifications to customers are sent on every available WordPress update, that's far too much. My clients don't take them for important anymore and don't update at all. I suggest to fine tune available settings in Tools & Settings > Notifications > APS application updates (customer’s digest): Different notification options if the available update is a WordPress Core update, a plugin update or a theme update. So for example the plugin and theme update notification could be turned off for customers, but WordPress core update notifications would be still sent.

    Another suggestion would be an option to cutomize the FREQUENZY…

  6. Limiting inodes for client, reseller, subscription

    Hello,
    is good idea to limit users files count. This limit will restrict users from generating
    thousands of files, makes faster backups creations. Directadmin and cpanel has this feature and it is very usefull for hosting.

  7. Add XML API operations to manage Backup Password and Scheduled Backup

    Some useful functionalities of Backup in Web UI are not available in the XML API. Like configuring Password or Scheduled Backup. Those operations are at server level.

    I think it would be useful to add the 4 following operations :

    backup-manager / set-secure-backup-settings
    backup-manager / get-secure-backup-settings

    With attributes like :
    - use-password-protection : boolean
    - password : string

    backup-manager / set-schedule-settings
    backup-manager / get-schedule-settings

    With attributes like :
    - enable : boolean
    - period : 86400 | 604800 |2592000
    - hour : integer from 0 to 23
    - minute : 0 | 15 | 30 |45
    - use-incremental : boolean…

    This feature request only received 12 votes over the course of 6 years. We have reviewed the request and would like to ask you why you believe that vsftpd brings you advantages over the existing solutions (like ProFTPD). The existing FTP server has proven to be great for millions of websites through all the years. Please give us some good arguments why vsftpd would be even better.

  10. Allow selective download of single files from an external backup archive

    Hi, To restore a single file from FTP repository, it required whole full to download and then restore required data. Which consumes lot of time. Please try to work this backup/restore operation like other backup application where we can select required data and it get easily download without time consuming.

    Also the backup tab should give option like dayswise full, incremental backup. Start and stop backup schedule, etc...

  11. Secure default HTTPS settings

    Set the default settings so that websites (e.g. Wordpress) created in Plesk have a good score in online scanners (are secure).

    One very good scanner is https://observatory.mozilla.org/

    This includes some headers to be sent, and secure TLS settings.
    Mozilla also offers a guide concerning web server settings: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS

    The remaining things should be set in Wordpress directly directly by Plesk.

  13. Upgrade PostgreSQL

    PostageSQL provides some powerful function to process non-relational data (eg: "jsonb") after version 9.4.
    Would you please upgrade that?

    If you mean PostgreSQL, we support 9.4 version in the current 12.5 version – https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/12.5/software-requirements/#s4-2-1 and upcoming Plesk Onyx – https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/17.0/software-requirements/#s4-2-1

    We will officially support next versions if many people will support your request. But I think that you can try to use 9.5 version right now. It should work, but we have not tested it yet.

  14. DNS: Add PTR record without domain subscription

    Sometimes PTR records have different names from domains subscription, for example to IP address rented to customers.

    As ISP provider you manage PTR records and you need identify reverses records with services or customers.

  15. Add an option to lock/freeze a website

    Hi,

    some Hosts (e.g. Strato) use a functionality to completely lock a site. This is very useful for customers that dont want to do any changes to their website anymore but use an old version of a cms and forget/dont want to upgrade.

    Of course there should be a warning about the consequences like non working file caching etc.

  16. Block users from re-using old password, especially for mailboxes

    System could remember a certain number of old passwords (admin configurable) and prevent user from selecting these again.

    Have had more cases than I'd like to admit where customer re-used a previously compromised password. If Plesk remembered the last x passwords used by that account it would help.

    Also adding ability so Plesk checks a server configurable password blacklist before accepting customers new selection would be appreciated.

  18. Backup Manager: Multiple FTP (or cloud service) Storages

    It would be very nice if it would be possible to define more than one FTP Storage in the backup manager for that we can backup all on two or more different FTP Backup servers.
