  1. .Net Toolkit: Automatically Restart Application after having published new Version

    .Net Toolkit: Automatically Restart Application after having published new app version.

    When setting up a .Net App using your .Net Toolkit (which works great), it would be amazing if the app could be restarted automatically after having pushed a new version to the git publish repository.

    Currently, one has to disable and then enable the application manually. Restart by the way has no effect - at least not what I have seen so far.

    This change would be amazing. Thank you!

  2. Show timestamp on plesk notifications & timeout for disappearance

    Plesk should include timestamps on each notification that pops up.
    We as plesk administrator should have an option to enable pop up timeout to appear in the ui and set it by seconds/hours.

    For example, if you add a domain and a pop up of failed SSL installation appears will make customers wonder if there's a problem and contact support.

    If you installed a new wordpress instance, the pop up shows that wordpress was installed, but when?

    If there was a problem running any task, a pop up will appear and stay there no matter what, even if it was…

  3. Make the navigation tree adjustable in width.

    I use nested folders on my site. The navigation tree does not have sufficient width to show them without constantly moving the bottom slider. Either the ability to drag the vertical scroll or a 'setting' would be extremely useful.

  5. Stop postfix from delivering mail locally when MX record points externally to avoid mailbox hijack e.g. @gmail.com addresses.

    Prevent mail interception / hijack where any customer can create domains when not prohibited explicitly and intercept for example a john.doe@gmail.com mailbox because SMTP will deliver this locally if the mailbox exists.

    Almost every domain on the internet does have its own MX record and many of them are operate their own email server (not only Gmail). Why not address this potential security issue by checking MX records not only if the domain exists locally.

    Thank you for your idea! 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.

    For the time being, please consider using Tools & Settings > Security > Prohibited Domain Names to prevent users from creating well-known domain names in their accounts.

  6. Limit maximum crontab frequency and preventing cronjobs pile-up

    Plesk administrator should be able to limit the maximum crontab frequency allowed for user's crontab (example: deny the creation of cronjob that run more often than once in 5 minutes)

    Crontab pile-up should be prevented, so a user can't run a cron job if the same job isn't finished yet.

    Thank you for your idea.

    For the time being, please consider that a script that is started via cronjob, should check itself if another instance of the same script is already running, if there is a risk that a further instance causes problems. Crontab cannot check that. 

    Also, please be aware that users are not bound to repeat actions in a script in a while-loop. They can easily start a script every 10 minutes, yet let it run over and over again by just putting their content into a while-loop, maybe even wait a few seconds after each iteration. So limiting them to create cronjobs for only every n minutes will not keep users from executing scripts all the time.

    We'd like to hear more from other users what they think about the idea. If it still becomes popular, it might find its way into a future version of the…

  7. plesk advisor score functionality needs enhancement

    The Plesk advisor complains about not having installed the Plesk firewall, but it doesn't check iptables rules. I have setup my own iptables rules deriven and enhanced from the Plesk firewall. My setup also supports ipset rules which Plesk doesn't.
    Thus, the advisor score mechanism should check if iptables rules are present and setup sophisticatedly.

  8. Improve speed of Migration Manager re-sync process

    Because there is a re-sync option, the overall speed of the initial data transfer with Plesk Migration Manager (PMM) doesn't matter that much (to us), however when re-syncing the speed of the process is super important because domain web and email services on the source server must be down/offline to prevent data inconsistencies. The re-sync process currently takes roughly 1 hour per 100 subscriptions.

    Here's three ways the re-sync process could be improved to minimize web and email service downtime:

    # 1. Fetch configuration data ONCE

    PMM batches 5 subscriptions at a time, and prior to each batch of 5,…

  9. Display the number of subscriptions for a Customer

    When viewing the list of customers, a few domains are listed.
    But the NUMBER of subscriptions for each customer should be a new column, and a very useful one!

  14. Add ability to Backup from the Subscriptions view

    Add ability to Backup select subscriptions in subscriptions view. Basically instead of doing a full server Backup, I'd like to select a number of subscriptions via the checkbox and then click Backup to create a Backup of only those Subscriptions. This will allow me to archive a number of subscriptions so I can delete them.

  15. Run docker containers as subscription user

    Currently all containers are run as root user, however when mapping persistent volumes into subscription directories e.g. databases/config/logs, the UID that runs inside the containers are not linked to a UID outside, so containers that have restrictive file permissions (i.e. 600) in the persistent volumes, when subscription level actions are run e.g. backups, these files are not accessible by the subscription user.
    Would be nice to specify a subscription user to run the docker container with (on docker cli it is possible to pass the user flag along with a UID) so that the resulting files are accessible by the…

  16. consistency between PhpSettingsCustom and dom_param tables.

    It would be great that plesk repair db checks the consistency between PhpSettingsCustom and dom_param tables.

    This can be reproduced by adding some additional php directives via Plesk UI for example.com domain and then removing them from table PhpSettingsCustom via plesk db command.

  17. An option to change 'from' field in Plesk email notifications when using MSMTP

    Currently, it's possible to change the 'from' field in Plesk email notifications only when Postfix or Qmail is installed. The change cannot be applied when using MSMTP.

    Please implement an option in Plesk to change the 'from' field in email notifications when using MSMTP.

  20. Automatic/option for hiding of Plesk, PHP, Apache, Nginx, Wordpress, Drupal, etc. 'reveals'

    It would be so useful to accommodate one hardening feature, and that would be to switch on/off the server reveal options for Nginx/Apache (Lightspeed, whatever), the expose_php attribute for the version number in PHP (and equivalent in Perl, etc.), the Wordpress/Drupal (and Joomla, etc.), reveal of their presence and version numbers. See this article for the cybersecurity relevance of that (there's a lot more on the 'securityheaders.com' website and free checkers for all of this there too), but I pick this as an illustration of what I'm referring to with php:

    Thank you for your idea! 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.

    Here I'd like to add, though, that in the real world attackers simply test a website against all known vulnerabilities, regardless what webserver, PHP or other software version they detect. Actually, such version information are of no interest, they simply drive tests against all known flaws. So adding the feature will probably not help against hacking attempts.

    -- PD
