  1. MYSQL Performance Tuning and Monitoring

    t would be a good idea to have an SQL section where users can run optimization scripts like MYSQLTUNER etc and enter suggestioned changes in a GUI that directly change the mysql.conf directly and correctly.

    An ability to monitor performance and tweak would be ideal, making the task of SQL performance monitoring and tweaking far easier.

    Also optimize commands and other tasks could be run for this panel.

    as well as optimize and the ability to add it to cron for weekly or monthly.

    MySQL Performance tuning has been available for more than half a year in the scope of the free Plesk Performance Booster feature (https://www.plesk.com/blog/product-technology/how-to-speed-up-your-website-by-30-tips-measure-performance-effectively/). Since July 2023 no new comments were added to this feature request. As no new requests were added, this feature is now considered "completed".

  3. 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,

  4. add BROTLI support to nginx and apache

    as brotli seams to be a up to 20% better comression library than gzip and used by many CDN Providers it should be possible to switch on in plesk.

  8. Delete mail after forwarding

    I would like to use an E-Mail address as an outgoing E-Mail address with no postbox behind it. All E-Mails should be forwarded to another E-Mail address.
    Currently you can set up forwarding but if you check "Use postbox" than the mails will be kept on the server although they have been forwarded. If you uncheck it, it is impossible to send emails from that address.

    So please add at least an option to delete mails after forwarding them.

    In Plesk 18.0.37 added the option to automatically remove emails forwarded from a mailbox in Plesk. The feature is disabled by default. To enable it, go to “Mail”, click the desired mailbox, open the “Forwarding” tab and select the “Do not deliver copies of forwarded emails to the Plesk mailbox” checkbox.

    If you need this feature for Plesk for Windows, please vote here: https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549/suggestions/44158872

  9. Email import tool

    It would be a great idea to be able to import mail for individual email accounts via POP3 from other servers.

    This would be great for customers migrating to you so that they can keep all their email.

    Would just need fields such as:
    -Hostname
    -Username
    -Password
    -Port
    -Encryption

    Implemented as the functionality of Site Import 1.2.0 https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/onyx/change-log/#17811-mu20180516

    Added the ability to import the content of mailboxes hosted on third-party servers with the IMAP access into mailboxes hosted on a Plesk server. Now users can import emails from Gmail or Yahoo! Mail mailboxes and from mailboxes managed by control panels (for example, Plesk or cPanel). All folders (including custom folders) and emails contained in them are imported. The “read” or “unread” status of imported emails is preserved.

  10. Search mail logs from Gui

    We have many support requests from our customers (non technical) to search logs and find if a message was sucessfull delivered and consume much from our support.

    If the customer could search logs from a specific sender ou destination, filtering by date, will be great for us.

    We released the ‘Mail Log Browser’ extension

    https://ext.plesk.com/packages/942273dc-a99b-4744-9e8f-c4a4b047c63d-log-browser

    This extension allows you to check the statuses of all emails sent to and from your server by reviewing maillog and filtering by date, source, or any string pattern; also it’s possible to check mail logs in real-time (‘tail -fn0’ analog).

    It’s available for Plesk Administrators and supports Postfix and Qmail mail servers.

  11. Let's encrypt: add domain aliases

    The let's encrypt extension is great, except... it doesn't work for me: It doesn't add domain aliases. I have domains like "typing-error.de", "typing-eror.de", "typing-errror.de", "typing-error.com" etc. (you get the idea). As-is, only the primary domain is added to the certificate.

    We are happy to announce that mailman3 support is now available in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.59+ on Debian 11 and Debian 12.


    Unfortunately, mailman3 packages can't be installed on Ubuntu22 and Ubuntu24 because of bugs (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mailman3/+bug/1999197, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mailman-suite/+bug/2062960). It blocks us from implementing supporting mailman3 on these OSes right now. When the bugs are fixed, we will return to implementing mailman3 support on these operating systems.


    Also, to our regret, it is impossible to provide Mailman support on modern RHEL-based OSes because RedHat does not have plans to support Mailman in new OS releases (https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6766041). If you prefer RHEL-based OSes, as a workaround, you can use Plesk on AlmaLinux 8.x, where the mailman2 package is present; the vendor's termination date for AlmaLinux 8.x is 2029.


    All other known limitations for Mailman support you can find in Plesk Documentation by the link https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/administrator-guide/59438/. If you have any feedback on the implementation of this…

    In  Plesk 18.0.54, published July 18th, 2023, Plesk has added the ability  to add Transport Layer Security Authentication (TLSA) DNS records to  domains’ DNS zones in Plesk. Such records are most commonly used to  implement DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE). With this  update the most popular DANE scenario is covered in Plesk for Linux.

    Now, with Plesk 18.0.56, published October 10th, 2023, the SSL It! extension supports DANE that ensures reliable encryption for email transport. When a Let’s Encrypt certificate is being issued, TLSA DNS records of  email services will now automatically contain information about the  certificate.

    Please let us know your thoughts on this feature or whether you require additional functions.

  14. Add DNS TTL per entry

    Add a DNS TTL per entry option instead of just SOA TTL.

    This will make it more inline with products like cPanel etc and is very useful when using dynamic dns to have low TTL but other entries like mx can have a high TTL

    If you have any feedback on the implementation of this feature, please let us know on the forum: https://talk.plesk.com.

    We’re closing this request since the support of managing TTL per DNS-record is completed.

    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!

  18. Add subdomains in one Let's Encrypt certificate

    Add subdomains to one Let's Encrypt certificate.

    Why?

    Because Let's Encrypt has currently limit 5 certificates / 7 days on one domain.

    Example: in one Let's Encrypt cerftificate will be this DNS names: example.com; www.example.com; sub1.example.com; sub2.example.com

    I think it will be helpful if you can simply add your own domains and subdomains in Let's Encrypt Certificate.

    Thanks!
