1. avoid Plesk panel update when a backup is running

   Plesk updates the panel while a backup process is running. This can interrupt a backup, for example:

   Error: Server "<hostname>"
   Value at Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\Admin\AdminAType\PreferencesAType -> Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\Admin -> Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\MigrationDump is expected to be an object of class Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\ScheduledTasks but is of type array
   Error:
   Unable to create the remote backup: Repository error: Failed to open the file '/usr/local/psa/PMM/tmp/pmm-de-tmp-repo-NnwqUP/backuplickey002410212254.tzst': No such file or directory

   but I have observed other similar issues before. On large servers, a full backup can run for many hours. If it fails, many hours of high cpu load are lost and the backup must be repeated the next night. It would be better to move the Panel updates dynamically forward into a time frame when the software detects that no backups are running.

   In the meantime, you may consider scheduling Plesk's major updates for days/times when backup jobs are not expected to run.

2. Usage of "Quick Preview" DNS should be made more clear.

   The fact that Plesk must be the DNS server for the "Quick Preview on a domain in Plesk" option should be underlined and more prominent in the interface. The necessity of a Wildcard SSL cert should be clearer too. That would help your clients and avoid some tickets to Plesk support.

3. Improve the Backup Manager for when it freezes or aborts when using S3/Scaleway

   Plesk should have a native mechanism to detect when a backup job is stuck; helping to manage backups more efficiently without relying on manual intervention.

   Plesk should allow backups to automatically resume from the point where they fail, rather than starting from the beginning; saving time and resources, especially for large backups.

4. Custom color wheel for private branding

   Currently, Plesk provides only two options for branding customization, which can be limiting for users managing multiple internal companies with distinct branding needs. I propose the addition of a custom color wheel for private branding in Plesk.

   This feature would allow administrators to choose from a broader range of colors, offering more flexibility in aligning the Plesk interface with specific company branding. For users handling multiple companies, this customization option would be a significant improvement, making it easier to differentiate between brands.

5. Add warnings for unsupported operating systems in the Dashboard

   Many Plesk users continue to run outdated operating systems, which often results in non-functional repositories, failed updates, or even security risks. While the current Dashboard displays "Server Information," including the OS version, it lacks any warnings about the support status of the operating system.

   I propose adding the following to the Dashboard:

   • Display an orange warning when the OS has 6 months or less of support remaining.
   • Display a red warning when the OS is end-of-life and no longer receives updates.

   These warnings should include links to support articles explaining the risks and offering steps to update or migrate the server to a supported version.

   Adding these color-coded warnings will help administrators stay informed and take action before encountering major problems due to unsupported operating systems.

6. Add IP Address and "non-existent mailbox" to plesk_saslauthd Authentication Logs

   In the "maillog" program logs, which contain "server plesk_saslauthd" entries, the IP addresses are not recorded. During brute force attacks from multiple IPs, there are failed login attempts to non-existent mailboxes. While these attacks don't pose a direct threat, they consume server resources and could become dangerous if they target existing mailboxes.

   I request that IP addresses be added to the "server plesk_saslauthd" logs, along with information about non-existent mailboxes, to improve filtering through fail2ban.

   Current log:
   Sep 20 08:14:00 server plesk_saslauthd[117757]: failed mail authentication attempt for user 'example@domain.com' (password len=14)

   Suggested log:
   Sep 20 08:14:00 server plesk_saslauthd[117757]: failed mail authentication attempt for non-existent mailbox 'example@domain.com' (password len=14) from [<IP>]

7. Allow specifying of ports to open in firewall during certificate generation process to open and close again automatically

   allow for specific ports to be opened when securing/ressecuring Let's Encrypt SSL certs.

   For example, Lets Encrypt needs several ports open in order to reissue SSL so have a field to enter the ports to open when re issuing the SSL.

10. Great fight against spam: Make possible to add settings in '.cf' for spamassassin like adding an helping DNSBL and/or modifying scores

    The possibility to add DNSBL's is not bad, but not good as without knowing several emails are blocked and in these blocked emails sometimes is a or several hams/emails as false positives. Much better would be being able to put in an '.cf'-configurations-file for spamassassin 'DNSBL's, which do not block but move emails identified as spam to the spam folder. Later on the customer can watch from time to time if hams/femails as alse positives have been sorted out wrongly and put them back to the inbox or a sucfolder which is not for spams.

    A rule can even learn from emails which are ham by putting them in a predefined folder like archive or a selfdefined folder where no spams are.

    With fine tuning of the simple spamassassin '.cf' I achieved for me and several customers that spam in inbox appears about one time in a week although I have many domains and adresses ad in 2015 I become about 180-220 spams per day (almost all filtered!) ... nowadays it is reduced to about 80-100 spams per day thankfully because of DMARC with their subcomponents.

    Yes, I could solve the problem personally in a manual way, but other customers will be very sure happy being able to fight against spam with plesks web interface.

11. Laravel ToolKit: Creation of deployment script before first deployment. On the "Install Application" screen.

    When I deploy a Laravel application to Plesk, I always use the Laravel ToolKit extension. I follow all the steps outlined in the documentation to install my application. However, at the end of the deployment process, I still need to go to the extension's Node tab and run the npm install and npm run build commands. It would be nice if there was an option to implement a deployment script on the "Install Application" screen, as this would reduce the amount of configuration that would need to be done in the Plesk panel.

    There is a similar option in the Git extension. However, it does not perform some of the hosting configurations that the Laravel ToolKit extension does.

    Attached is the image where the deployment script could be configured.

15. OpenSSH server support in Plesk for Windows

    SFTP (FTP over SSH protocol) Support would come in handy for users who want a more secure way to transfer their files to and from their hosting account. We, as a hosting company, have received many requests for a more secure way to handle file transfers than the classic FTP(S) protocol on Windows Server.

    Newer versions of Windows have built-in OpenSSH server functionality, I think it would be nice to integrate this in the Plesk end-user Panel in a way that users can use SFTP with their account username and (maybe?) configure SSH keys for their accounts for a more secure way to connect.
    Also, as an admin, it would be nice to a SSH server configuration interface where you can enable/disable password authentication, set custom SSH port a.s.o.

18. Letsencrypt wildcard certificate, check dns and continue automatically

    When creating a wildcard certificate for a domain where we are hosting the DNS, letsencrypt creates the required DNS record automatically, but then shows a dialog telling us to check the dns before continuing.

    Since plesk created the DNS record and the DNS points to our server, the plugin should be able to verify that the DNS is good and continue automatically.

    If we are not hosting the DNS and we have to manually create the record before continuing, the tools can easily display a 'check dns' button that will do the dns lookup and confirm if good or not.

19. Backup and restorations should be noted in Plesk's Action log

    As the title says, in order to better understand what have happened in Plesk, Backups and restorations should also leave a note in the Action log for Admin to understand what has been done in Plesk.

20. Let wp-cron run every minute by default

    Currently, when enabling 'Take over wp-cron.php' and 'Create a replacement task (...)', the cron job that's created only runs twice an hour. (See screenshot attached)

    This seems wrong; any Wordpress cronjob that needs to run at a higher interval, will fire too late.
    There is no performance benefit to running wp-cron less often, in fact, it might cause performance problems, because late jobs would pile up.

    Can the default wp-cron.php interval be changed to every minute, please?

    One source that offers some more explanation: https://wpengine.com/support/wp-cron-wordpress-scheduling/

    Missed crons and crons that run too frequently can both be resolved by enabling the [system native cronjob]. This alternate cron is a service on the server itself and checks for “due now” crons every minute by curling wp-cron.php, rather than running cron processes based on traffic flow.
