  1. add rar extract and compress to rar and other formats as well as zip available

    add rar extract and compress to rar and other formats as well as zip available

    For developers/database admins, sometimes backups are taken in different
    formats and compression is done in different formats.

    when compressed files other than ZIP file is uploaded for websites data
    files, there is no way to uncompress them via PLESK, one has to go to SSH
    and then extract to use it.

    So compressing files/folders to multiple formats and then extraction from
    multiple compressed formats will allow more ease of use for users where
    they deal with no. of formats!

  2. Two factor authentication (2FA) for Service and Additional Admin Accounts

    Currently Plesk supports Clef and Google Authenticator for Plesk admin accounts.

    However if a customer creates additional user accounts (service accounts with owner rights for example) the 2FA option is not available.

    We would appreciate this feature especially in combination with multi-server management, where one customer may have multiple admins and multiple domain subscriptions.

    We are glad to announce the new Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) extension (https://www.plesk.com/extensions/mfa/), coming to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.61 and later. The new extension is meant to offer seamless 2FA authentication to all Plesk users, and comes with one of the following benefits:

    • Multi-factor authentication can now be configured in the profile settings for users of all levels (administrators, additional administrators, resellers, customers, and subscription users).

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

  3. Limit what aditional administrators can do

    It would be useful to have options for what additional administrators can do within the panel. For example, I run hosting as part of my IT company and normally it's me that does all the work in Panel, however it is often useful to have one of my staff to do some admin tasks but I don't necessarily want that person to be able to perform all tasks such as changing critical server settings.

  4. Secure MySQL connections (from Plesk to externally hosted databases)

    Secure MySQL connections via SSL/TLS: it is only a number of small changes in the code and a huge step in decreasing the attack surface.

    This functionality was added in Plesk 18.0.52 ( https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/obsidian/change-log/#plesk-18052 ). We suggest you to update to Plesk 18.0.52 and check it out.

    You can find additional information in https://docs.plesk.com/current/administrator-guide/database-servers/securing-connections-to-remote-mysql-database-servers.80017/. Let us know if you have any feedback - visit our forum at http://talk.plesk.com.

  7. Allow Plesk to use a clustered MySQL Server (Galera)

    According to a ticket I just opened (80693) Plesk currently doesn't support a clustered MySQL server, e.g. an active/active Galera cluster.
    To avoid data-loss or corruption in a server crash, I'd like to run MySQL in a Galera cluster to automatically sync the data again once Plesk's MySQL started after a crash.

    This functionality is now available in the latest Plesk Obsidian 18.0.49 ("Added the ability to run Plesk with a centralized database"). The feature is currently in Beta. We encourage you to check the implementation and let us know what you think. All required information could be found in Plesk Documentation by the link https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/deployment-guide/plesk-for-linux-plesk-installation-without-the-local-database.79703/

    We would appreciate hearing your feedback on the implementation of this functionality. Thanks in advance!

  9. Generate a deploy key per repo in the Git extension

    Currently, the Git extension only generates one deploy key per Plesk user (according to @PleskHelps on Twitter). Unfortunately, GitHub doesn't allow a deploy key to be used more than one time across ALL repos, meaning every single GitHub repo requires a unique deploy key. As a result, I can clone only one of the 40 some repos I would like to on my Plesk installation.

    I would like to suggest the option to have a unique deploy key generated for every single repo you want to clone. That would make the Git extension infinitely more useful for me and many…

  10. Implement DNS Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) resource record

    Certification Authority Authorization (CAA), defined in RFC 6844, is a standard that allows domain name owners to control which CAs are allowed to issue certificates for their properties.

    ssllabs.com has implemented the detection for this record when checking for the SSL grade they give. To prevent getting graded down and use state of the art techniques for ssl security I would usggest to allow adding those nameserver record.

    We are happy to announce that the ability to Track Email Delivery is now available in Log Browser 1.8.0. In the new version, Plesk customers (as well as Plesk administrators) can track email delivery and manage deferred emails right in the domain card (under the "Mail" tab). If an email has been deferred, the reason also be shown.

    You can find additional information at https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/obsidian/change-log/#log-browser-1.8.0.

  12. Git webspace

  13. Allow SFTP for Personal FTP Repository

    It's good that FTPS is now supported for the Personal FTP Backup Repository. But it would be even better if Backups could be transferred to another server via SSH/SFTP instead of just FTPS, for a completely encrypted connection and data transfer.

  15. Add SRS - Sender Rewriting Scheme to Linux

    SRS is available in Windows on external mail servers, but it isn't available in any mail server in Linux. More and more domains have SPF and more and more mail servers reject e-mails that don't pass SPF check.

    So please add support for SRS in Linux.

  16. Multiple users for the Git extension

    It would be great if it would be possible to create multiple users which can use the Git repository. Today only one user can access the Git repository. It is the admin user which was created during the creation of the subdomain. New created Web Users for the subdomain can not access the Git repository. It is a feature which I am missing because I wanted to host a private Git repository for our small private team.

    Great news! In the Git Extension 2.4.0, published January 26th, 2023, this feature became available: 

    Previously, only the system user had access to all repositories  in a subscription, but now Plesk added the ability to select users who can access a local repository via HTTP/HTTPS.

    You can now select additional users when creating a  local repository or changing the settings of an existing one. These  users can pull and push to a local repository via HTTP/HTTPS using their credentials.

    P.S.
    If you are not interested in preview and only interested in production release day, you would need to watch Parallels announcements at (http://www.parallels.com/about/subscribe/).

  18. Have an option to deliver email addressed to VERP-style email addresses.

    Postfix already has the option, but it doesn't seem to be supported on Plesk.

    I want to use VERP so I can automatically process bounce messages with a script. I send out bulk email with a return-path like bounces+uid-john=example.com@ourdomain.com and I want the bounces to be delivered to bounces@ourdomain.com

    Postfix has the configuration parameter recipientdelimiter. If I set that in /etc/postfix/main.cf, the server accepts the email and passes it to pleskvirtual. But then it is silently discarded instead of being delivered to the bounces mailbox.

    The only way I see with the current set up to deliver…

  19. Support MySQL 8

    I would like to see support for the upcoming MySQL 8.
    Currently there is no support inside plesk and using a possible workaround with docker isn't possible out of the box.

    MySQL Community Server 8.0.4 is already a Release Candidate.

  20. change password next login

    Ask user to change password at next login screen after reset.
    We the providers could generate a temp password (customer asks for a reset), and after the first login screen, plesk will force ask from the client to change our temp password.
