  1. Remove All Files / Packages From The Previous Plesk Obsidian Release(s) As Part Of Plesk's Upgrade Process

    As per the title. When any Plesk Obsidian release is upgraded to the next release, many files and/or packages are simply left in place and not removed as part of the Plesk installation process. Without patient and time-consuming manual "clean-up" exercises, all of these now unused and non-functional files and/or packages, simply accumulate and (just like garden weeds do in the real world) take up useful and valuable server real estate, but for no purpose. It's a little surprising that this is still happening, when nearly all software packages provide this as a default action.

  4. Encrypt mysql connections

    In https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/32881723 the database connections from a Plesk server to an elsewhere hosted database was added, but we also want encrypted connections from a client or other server to databases hosted on the Plesk server.

    Example: An ERP system hosts its data on a centralized MySQL database on the Plesk server. Between the clients and the server all such data is currently transmitted in plain text through the Internet. Instead this data should be encrypted, because normally such data contains personal information such as names, addresses.

  5. WooCommerce Staging Process (cloning without overwriting Woocommerce content)

    WooCommerce = at least 1/3 of ALL e-commerce websites use WooCommerce.

    Can Plesk please make a process that works EASY for people to do the following on a WP and WooCommerce site:

    Live site > Clone to Stage site > Copy to Live site

    The issue is customers, orders, and products on the Live site can't be replaced/over-written, etc when you copy back to live site.

    THIS PROCESS WOULD MAKE MONEY for Plesk, as for some reason, it doesn't exist anywhere, that I know of.

    Please implement it :)

  6. Customize columns in site list

    Would be great to allow selecting what columns to display in the Domains or Site list.

    Column suggestions:

    • Site name (user customizable)
    • Domain name
    • Type
    • Status
    • PHP version
    • Server (apache/nginx)
    • Location (if multiple site locations are allowed)
    • Traffic
    • Size (including files + database, why is it always calculating incorrectly for subdomains?)
    • URL
    • wp-admin url if wordpress
    • Wordpress toolkit link - directly to this site
    • Date created
    • SSL status

  7. Lower passenger log level to 3 by default

    In plesk the log level of passenger in /etc/nginx/conf.d/phusion-passenger.conf and /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/passenger.conf
    is set to 5, which is a debug log level https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/config/nginx/reference/#passenger_log_level

    This is too high and creates logs of 300Mb within 2 days, it should be set to 3 by default

    This is a valid request, so we'll look into it. There is no ETA at the moment, but we would really appreciate you voting for this request so that we can accurately assess its popularity relative to other features.

    Thanks in advance!

    IG


    I have merged the request by creoline into this existing one. Actually, adding a parameter like --single-transaction requires careful consideration of many side effects that this can have. It is explained well in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41683158/mysqldump-single-transaction-option and comments. But like IG I also think it is a valid request.


    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.

  9. Setup an sender name for autoresponder

    It looks unprofessional to send emails via autoresponder, just with the sender address, instead of the real sender name. This was already possible in Confixx and ist should be available in Plesk.

  12. Transfer DNSSEC configuration for a domain during migration

    It would be great if transferring of generated keys and DB records of DNSSEC configuration for a domain during Migration will be implemented. Thus there would be no need to recreated them for each migrated domain.

  14. Please add a postfix dashboard to Advanced Monitoring / Grafana

    Please add a postfix dashboard to Advanced Monitoring like this one:

    https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/12820

    This allows us to monitor postfix and detect issues much easier without having to search in the /var/log/maillog.

  15. Disk encryption

    Disk level encryption.
    Similar to what AWS offers with RDS.
    Encryption at rest for the entire server rather than doing it column by column manually.

  16. Add enabling "Keep websites secured" with all options via CLI

    Suggest adding the CLI commands for enabling "Keep websites secured" and all four options:
    "Include the "www" subdomain"
    "Secure domain aliases"
    "Secure webmail"
    "Secure mail"
    in SSL/TLS certificates.
    It would enhance the advanced administration of SSL certificates, especially beneficial on servers with large amount of domains.

  18. Support for vertical auto-scaling

    AWS offers a feature with automatic scaling of resources on demand which is very helpful for growing hostings. It would be great if Plesk was able to adapt to such changes

  20. Custom HTML templates for Mass Email Messages feature

    It's necessary to implement the possibility to customize the templates used by the Mass Email Messages feature with custom HTML.

    Since Plesk Obsidian it's possible to customize HTML templates for the notifications (reseller creation, site creation, etc) but it's not possible to use a custom HTML template for the Mass Email Messages templates and this is somehow unexpected.
