  2. Have a status/progress bar when uploading restore files to a new installation (Migrator progess bar)

    At the moment I have no idea how far along my upload is, or if the Plesk Control Panel has times out or just stuck.

    It would be really helpful to have a progress bar or remaining data outstanding to upload on the screen

  3. don't write in the backup repository during plesk updates

    I mounted a remote server via sshfs and set it as the plesk backup repository, so I can backup my domains through sftp (with a keyfile).

    But now, whenever I try to upgrade my plesk installation, plesk writes files to my backup repository (i.e. mysql backup before a mysql upgrade) and immediately tries to change the owner of the file, which fails because chown it is not supported on mounted directories.

    The best solution would be to provide the option to set a different path for automated backups.

  4. Manage serverwide ssh configuration through GUI

    There is an extension for managing user ssh keys. However it does not work as "click and use", because I have to manually edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file (to turn off password authetication and other).

    So, the ability to manipulate with serverwide sshd configuration through UI is what I need.

    That can be implemented in scope of extension "SSH Key Manager".

  7. Better fighting spam

    Hello Pleskians, here some appointments for a better antispam solution

    • All major spammers knows rules of spamassassin so he very ineffective.
    • The training mode (inside of round cube) "Mark as spam" DOENS'T WORK, does not matter how long, how much you mark as spam.
    • If this suppose to work will be better to have a server-side to learn with all customers.
    • there is a plugin to integrate on Roundcube maybe will work
      Control SpamAssassin settings from within Roundcube

    Upd: We’re happy to announce that DMARC support is now available in Plesk Onyx. You can enable DMARC to check incoming mail on a Linux-based server (using any mail server supported by Plesk) or on a Windows-based server (using SmarterMail only). For more information about DMARC, see https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/onyx/whats-new/#s17

    Notice, that the request remained opened and please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

  8. Plesk-wide maintenance mode

    At times it takes quite significant time to perform plesk in-place upgrade. During this time all sites are down and plesk control panel is down as well.

    It would be good to have plesk-wide maintenance mode for such occasions that would display a nice maintenance or upgrade notice page that would be displayed to whoever accesses the sites hosted in plesk or plesk control panel itself.

  10. use Plesk as Backup MX server

    Please allow usage of Plesk Onyx (postfix) as Backup MX server

    at the moment it is not possible to configure Plesk Onyx as Backup MX server, so even I have multiple Plesk servers available, when main production server is down, all e-mails in that time-frame is lost :((

    if we could setup Plesk as Backup MX server, that would give us some redundancy so e-mail should be fine on backup mx server, until primary mx comes back online

  15. Set right ciphers by default on Windows

    There is a documentation how to do it manually: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/administrator-guide/plesk-administration/securing-plesk/pci-dss-compliance/tune-plesk-to-meet-pci-dss-on-windows.78901/

    AFAIU, the request is about right ciphers for SSL configuration. We have a documentation how to do it manually: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/administrator-guide/plesk-administration/securing-plesk/pci-dss-compliance/tune-plesk-to-meet-pci-dss-on-windows.78901/ but have no tool to do it automatically, so, this is a valid request, we’ll look into it.

  16. Ability to customize nginx per site template e.g. Location /, Location ~, etc

    Hello, I'm using Plesk Onyx and I've also bumped into problems with not being able to set correct NGINX Directives.

    Regarding nginx and nginx configuration for various CMS, Web Apps etc, I see that a lot of directives need to be set and there are a lot of scattered issues around in the web.
    For example most CMS will require a
    location / { ... }
    or for google's pagespeed test we need to add expire headers e.g.
    location ~* .*.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js)$ {
    expires 14d;
    }

    I think the Model to building the final vhost conf file should be revised instead…

  19. Support for Helicon Ape

    Helicon Ape is a great tools for the support of .htaccess with IIS. I was really surprised, that Plesk does not support it yet.

    We like to move from WSP to Plesk, but we need support For Helicon Ape.

    Plesk should allow to edit .htaccess from the UI.

  20. Creating a global FTP(S) account

    It might be usefull to create one or more Global FTP(S) accounts which can access all the vhost directories. In addition an IP Whitelisting filter might be desirable to additionally protect access.
