We need more details to understand this request better. What is meant by an "SQL job" and how should such an integration look like? Is this request asking for functions like already available in phpMyAdmin?

Add ability to remove "Forgot your password" button from Plesk log in page
Please add option to remove (or restrict access to) "Forgot your password" button in Plesk log in page
3 votesOur experience is that many users run into a situation where they do not remember their login credentials. We'd love to understand why a removal option for a "forgot password" link would improve the product. In what situations is a missing "forgot password" link beneficial for a user?

Protect mail domain name option
It would be very desirable for Plesk to have an option, besides the "include www.domain.name" and "Secure webmail.domain.name" options to "Include mail.domain.name" on issuing a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. If the DNS service is hosted on a 3rd-party service, the mail.domain.name is not secured and the wildcard certificate will not be automatically renewed.
2 votesIs this feature request the same?
We understand that an option to include mail.domain.tld shall be added when issueing LE certificates. However, a domain-validated certificate requires that the domain that such a DV cert protects is on the host that the DV cert protects. When your mail.domain.tld is hosted elsewhere, it cannot be included in a cert. Instead, a matching cert needs to be created and installed on the external host where mail.domain.tld is operated.
As you mention a "wildcard" certificate: It is not possible (by LE) to exclude some subdomains from a wildcard cert. A wildcard always protects all.
For that reason we are having difficulties understanding this feature request correctly. Please rephrase the request or provide more details what exactly is requested and why you believe that this makes sense?

Disable docker exposed ports in firewall
It should be possible to block the port exposing in global nets from docker containers within the firewall.
It's a massive security lack! Most applications are run behind a 'docker proxy rule', so there's no need to expose the port to the whole internet.
Docker's modifying the firewall by itself, so this has to be disabled.1 voteHi Fabian, thank you for your idea. Could you please provide an example what you are currently seeing in traffic, where this results from and what you would like the headers to look like instead? Please redact the true IP address(es) in the example.

Improve support for third-party app extensions (particularly WordPress)
At the moment, many third-party app extensions for apps in Plesk like WordPress are not supported without a significant amount of server dependencies being installed. At present, this is not possible to do from within Plesk and requires direct access to server shell and a significant amount of technical skill. It would be great if Plesk incorporated the ability to install server dependencies without needing to use the server shell.
1 voteHi Paul,
with the built-in Plesk WP Toolkit installing, maintaining and using Wordpress works like a charm. Have you already tried it?
Plesk Obsidian 18.0.49 and newer also feature a PECL installer where you can add PHP extensions from within the graphical user interface, saving the hassle to edit configurations on the system level.
Please describe in more detail what is still missing so that your idea gets the required attention.

One mail server for all subscriptions
I want to create just one mail server for all subscription
Like
smtp.example.com
imap.example.comAnd that settings needs to be for all subscriptions.
3 votesIn all previous Plesk versions and also the latest, the mail server can be addressed by using the host name. That is the same across all domains and subscriptions. You can also have a fully functional SSL/TLS configuration for the mail server through the Tools & Settings page.
Could you please explain what the difference of this feature request is to simply using the host name as mail server?

Backup restoration - all databases of a subscription affected
Hello,
Would be a good UX/UI improvement to get informed that ALL databases of all domains under the subscription would be restored in case the subscription restored from the backup. (all configuration and content)
2 votesWhen a restore of "all configuration and content" is requested, what is the advantage of again confirming that all databases were included when the restore is completed? If it is "all configuration and content" why would someone think that it is not all configuration and content, e.g. only a partial restore?

Set MX priority 100 or customize to any value
Possbility to add MX record with priority 100 but plesk allows only to select priorities from 0 to 50. For example to enable mail server to work properly at the OVH they require the configuration to priority 100
1 voteThe actual value of an MX priority does not influence the behavior of other servers directly. It is more a "sorting" criteria. When OVH asks for "100" in a list of their five MX servers as 1, 5, 50, 100, 200, you can also rearrange that list to values like 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 with 15 representing the 100, because it is in the same order "slot" as their manual suggests. Currently you can configure ten MX entries for the same domain, but in real-world configurations we've never encountered a domain where ten MX entries were needed.
If you know of an example where a provider asks for a fixed value like "100" and does not deliver mail if that value is not present in an MX record, please let us know in your comments.

Better Integration with AWS Services
There needs to be integration with Amazon SES, like make it another option in the SMTP options. The current method of choosing MSMTP (in order to configure it as an external SMTP service) will uninstall your other inbound mail services, like Dovecot and Postfix.
Additionally, a way to integrate the AWS Route 53 service would be very helpful. Maybe this could be added as an Extension.
7 votesRoute 53 extension is already available https://www.plesk.com/extensions/amazon-route53/, https://youtu.be/3F3Byyea0ds. For the other part of this request, "integration with Amazon SES" please describe how such an integration should look like? What should it do, what configuration options do you expect that it is an "integration"?

Managing crontab via CLI
It would be very conenient to be able to manage the subscriptions' scheduled tasks via CLI.
6 votescronjobs can easily be managed by Linux commands already. They may not be sourced from Plesk, but all tools already exist on the operating system. As cronjobs are read by Plesk from disk, manipulating the corresponding files on disk will set everything you wish. Individual cron files are stored in /var/spool/cron and can be text-edited. You can add files, edit files, append files and delete files using Linux commands. You can also stream-edit files (e.g. insert a commend tag before a line with sed) and also create Linux control while-loops to apply changes to filtered files. Cron can also be controlled directly (https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/crontab.1.html).
Please let us know in details what you are missing or please provide an example how you would like Plesk to work with cron instead.

cache requests with cookies
"cache requests with cookies"-settings that if there is a cookie with no value (eg. set by a third party app like intercom), the settings will be ignored and cause a MISS cache.
4 votesCould you please in clear, straight-forward words formulate what this request is about? Is it "Ignore empty cookies when determining whether a page shall be cached or not" or something like that? From neither headline, nor initial description, nor detailed comment it is clear what is actually asked for.

plesk installer upgrade plesk PLESK_18_0_33 allow latest rather then having to select a version
When you run plesk installer upgrade plesk PLESK180_33
it can be run unattended which is good to get a template update but you need i use a Version number it would be best to have an option for Latest egplesk installer upgrade plesk latest
then we would not have to keep updating our scripts every so often

Oracle Linux 8 Support - CentOS 8 is dead
Hello,
is there any chance to give Oracle Linux to became official supported?
Since the bad news about CentOS 8 EoL on 31.December 2021.
The best option now is Oracle Linux (100% binary compatible OS)Best Regards
22 votesBy the end of 2022 the market share of Oracle Linux was only half of the next up competitor Alma and less than 1/10 of RHEL, Rocky and Alma combined. For that reason, we'd love to hear from you why you believe that Oracle Linux will be the next big player despite the low market share.
For example do you see specific technical reasons why Oracle Linux should be preferred over development for the much more popular platforms? E.g. ARM support and do you actually need it? Are there other aspects that can give good reasons to consider this OS over others?
Please let us know in the comments.

Locale management directly from Plesk panel
Suggested feature implementation would allow to create custom locales from panel interface. Including database in an implementation should secure custom locales from being overwritten during updates.
Client's business environment will gain in easiness of management and consistency.
Customers with international clientele would benefit from it.1 voteBy a "locale" we understand a set of configurations for displaying date, time, decimal points (or commas), currencies and other regionally specific aspects correctly depending on language and region.
Could you please clarify what you mean by "custom locales"? What global region is not covered by an official locale?
The comment in this request seems to rather aim at custom translations for Plesk user interface strings.

Customizable Plesk notification email address
Plesk has the ability to send notifications. However, with the latest version (v18.0.32) these are sent to my "External email address" of the admin user. But since I as admin user enter my Apple iCloud email "name@icloud.com" there, it is used as both sender and recipient and all notification emails end up in the spam folder of my iCloud mail.
It would be really great if you could separate the administrator email from the notification email address and change it specifically so that email notifications are sent from "Plesk@domain.tld" to the external administrator email "name@icloud.com…24 votesAs https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/16956373-set-a-senders-email-address-for-plesk-notification was resolved and the sender address of notifications is now customizable we are wondering whether the issue described in this feature request cannot also be considered solved. The issue here was described as sender and recipient being the same address so that notifications are evaluated as "spam" at the recipient's mailbox. However, now that the sender address can be customized, this could easily be circumvented.
Further, the recipient address of notifications can be freely set in the notifications page.
Please comment if and why this feature request is still actual.

Support of the NGINX Plus and NGINX App Protect
Please add possibility to use Plesk with NGINX Plus and NGINX App Protect as it has more more functionality like Load Balancer, Reverse Proxy, API Gateway
4 votes"Nginx Plus" - a buzz word for a paid service primarily aimed at load balancing behind an Nginx driven front-end? This service seems to be mainly relevant for single-domain or -app configurations that distribute transactions over a server cluster, but deliver a site to the user as if it came from a single server.
We'd love to develop an understanding what this feature request is truly about and how Plesk could best support it. Where in an Nginx Plus scenario is Plesk installed and what would you like to do with it? It seems that in such a scenario Plesk would be a graphical user interface for the Nginx Plus paid service, but not a webspace control panel. So it would have to be a completely different product. Let us know how you think about it, please.
We'd also love to hear from you how many Nginx Plus installations you…
