Oracle Linux 8 Support - CentOS 8 is dead
Hello,
is there any chance to give Oracle Linux to became official supported?
Since the bad news about CentOS 8 EoL on 31.December 2021.
The best option now is Oracle Linux (100% binary compatible OS)Best Regards
22 votesBy the end of 2022 the market share of Oracle Linux was only half of the next up competitor Alma and less than 1/10 of RHEL, Rocky and Alma combined. For that reason, we'd love to hear from you why you believe that Oracle Linux will be the next big player despite the low market share.
For example do you see specific technical reasons why Oracle Linux should be preferred over development for the much more popular platforms? E.g. ARM support and do you actually need it? Are there other aspects that can give good reasons to consider this OS over others?
Please let us know in the comments.

Add IgnoreHosts options to Plesk`s DMARC implementation
Currently it is possible to whitelist only domain with IgnoreMailFrom parameter. However there could be false-positive DMARC failures (in case sender's strict policy and mail going throughout relay) due to which it could be useful to have option to whitelist specific network. It would be nice having this option available
12 votesDuring research, we have found that the request is about passing emails via intermediate mail gateway (which works as an anti-spam solution) and the idea of the request is do not check SPF for these emails on Plesk side.
In Plesk, there is already exist a solution for that: need to use "SPF Local rules" setting to configure an SPF record which will be used by Plesk to validate emails (including emails from an intermediate anti-spam solution). See KB article for mode details (https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022753174) and Plesk documentation.
If it does not solve the issue on you Plesk environment and you still need the "IgnoreHost" option, let us know more details about you case for that in comments below.

Add support SFTP and FTPS protocol for migration
We are only able to use a FTP connection to migrate a website. It would be a nice add to be able to use SFTP and FTPS to connect to the old server,
9 votesPlesk Migrator uses an SSH based connection, which is close to SFTP, but a technologically advanced solution. Could you please explain where you are seeking SFTP and FTPS and why you believe that this is better than the current Plesk Migrator solution?

Managing crontab via CLI
It would be very conenient to be able to manage the subscriptions' scheduled tasks via CLI.
6 votescronjobs can easily be managed by Linux commands already. They may not be sourced from Plesk, but all tools already exist on the operating system. As cronjobs are read by Plesk from disk, manipulating the corresponding files on disk will set everything you wish. Individual cron files are stored in /var/spool/cron and can be text-edited. You can add files, edit files, append files and delete files using Linux commands. You can also stream-edit files (e.g. insert a commend tag before a line with sed) and also create Linux control while-loops to apply changes to filtered files. Cron can also be controlled directly (https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/crontab.1.html).
Please let us know in details what you are missing or please provide an example how you would like Plesk to work with cron instead.

The ability to clone WordPress multisite
WordPress Toolkit Clone feature also available for in supports WordPress multisite.
5 votesIn WP Multisite installations you have one single WP controlling many different websites and domains. "Cloning" a multisite installation seems to be a challenge, because when you clone a site, you need to mention a target where to clone the site to (a new URL, a new subdomain). As a multisite installation has many URLs, it seems impossible to clone these to one single domain. It will be unclear which domain is actually cloned or how to map source to target.
But as always, we're open for ideas and would love to hear more details from you how you imagine the workflow. Please describe in your comments what you expect to happen when you clone a multisite installation, e.g. how you'd want to map source to target(s). Would you for example want to see a dialog where you can enter new domains and subdomains for each existing URL in the…

Support for HTTP/2 on apache (without using nginx as proxy)
Hi,
It seems some Plesk users would like to have support for HTTP/2 on apache directly (without using nginx as a proxy).
We do not clearly understand cases when it is required. Why using nginx as a proxy in front of the Apache is not an option? Could you please let us know how this feature should work in terms of workflow, in your opinion? We welcome any feedback and would be happy to receive examples to investigate the question in more detail.4 votesThank you for your idea. Could you tell us which scenarios you want to enable with this functionality?

An option to hide the DNSSEC menu for customers
Please implement an option in Plesk to hide the DNSSEC menu for customers.
Currently, it's only possible to hide the DNS management menu completely. It will be useful if there's an option to hide the DNSSEC button only, while the other DNS settings could still be managed by the customer.
3 votesThank you for your idea. Could you please describe what exactly would be useful about hiding the DNSSEC option? What is the business case where this is needed and how does it improve the user<->system interaction?

Adding Let's Encrypt autorenew for ServerAlias in the subdomains (Example: servername.it alias with cert for subdomain.servicename.it)
Need to adding the certificates with Let's Encrypt for the domain names added as serveralias in the apache directives on subdomains, with autorenew system.
3 votesWe are not sure what is meant. At the moment you can set a certificate for the hostname and you can set a certificate for a subdomain. It is also possible to create a subscription that has the same domain name like the hostname, and that subscription can have subdomains all protected by a certificate. It is also possible to have a wildcard certificate for the subscription domain.
Could you please describe in detail what you would like to equip with an SSL certificate and how this is linked to encrypted mail connections as stated in the one existing comment?

Nginx-only hostings (without Apache component installed on Plesk)
Hi,
It seems some Plesk users would like to have the ability to install Plesk without the Apache component (apache-free, nginx-only setup).
We do not clearly understand cases when it is required. Why using "Nginx-Only Hosting" (https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/customer-guide/72320/#nginx-only-hosting) on a per-website base is not an option (which also provides more flexibility)? Could you please let us know how this feature should work in terms of workflow, in your opinion? We welcome any feedback and would be happy to receive examples to investigate the question in more detail.2 votesThank you for your idea. Could you tell us which scenarios you want to enable with this functionality?

Bringing an option to open or close encrypted directories in the password-protected directories section.
Bringing an option to open or close encrypted directories in the domain name directory encryption section. This way, you won't have to delete the password to open the directory.
2 votesIt yet needs to be explained what opening or closing of encrypted (probably password-protected?) directories should do. If they ought not be password-protected, why not simply remove password-protection?

please add "dig txt _acme-challenge.$1 |grep ^_acme-challenge" to dns page ... to check the acme-challenge... or better, external check-url
please add "dig txt acme-challenge.$1 |grep ^acme-challenge" to dns page ... to check the acme-challenge... or better, external check-url
1 voteThank you for your suggestion, Peter. If I understand correctly, you would like us to integrate ACME challenge checker directly into the DNS management page. Considering that the presence of the DNS record could be easily verified by running a dig command, or though an online tool such as DigWebInterface, please provide more details on what will be the collective benefit of integrating such a feature.
Thank you in advance.

synchronise Plesk server with Apple's Notes functions
To synchronize Apple Notes with an email server that allow integration with Apple’s native Notes app.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion. If I am not mistaken, Apple's Note App itself does not natively support direct synchronization with email servers in the traditional way (IMAP/Exchange syncing). Please correct me if I am wrong and provide me with the respective source of information for further review. Thank you in advance.

MIgration of Backups to Cheaper Alternatives
While you provide the ability to backup to different locations, whether on local disk, FTP, SMB share, or cloud you do not provide an ability to migrate backups through the tiers. First off local disk is the most expensive and you should only keep a small subset of backups. After that there should be an ability to migrate those backups to cheaper alternatives, like S3 storage, while continuing to preserve the metadata.
1 voteThank you for your input. The is already an option to configure backups with S3 storage through the Amazon S3 Backup extension:
As for the "ability to migrate backups through the tiers", unfortunately, I was not able to get a clear understanding on it. Hence, could you please provide more details and examples?
Thank you in advance.

Migrating tool for Apache2 (Wordpress) linux server confs and sites.
Just reading with ssh root access /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ and listing sites to be copied with their files and databases. Also Nginx sites.
It could be payable extension linked to Plesk license.1 voteDo I understand correctly that you are referring to a server without a control panel (or at least a custom one, that's currently not supported by the Plesk Migrator extension)? Thank you in advance.

Plesk Backup & Restore Part II
Plesk Backup & Restore
In my opinion, it makes no sense to import a backup where the software only "Only the configuration of the selected objects" means that if you click the wrong button, the database data can no longer be imported.
The databases have to be deleted manually in order to then select the correct setting "Configuration and contents of the selected objects". There is no setting to "Overwrite configuration and contents".
1 voteThank you for your feedback Jan. We are however unsure about your request and are unable to replicate the issue you're describing. We love to know more about the issue and would appreciate if you could share more details about the issue and the steps you took when you encountered this issue.

Improve Plesk Country Firewall Usability
Plesk Country Firewall
1) Add a check for duplicate country abbreviations on save.
2) (x) add checkbox to sort alphabetically
3) Add a drop down to select the country. Currently you have to look up the country 2 digit code. So add a drop down to select country then add the 2 digit abbreviation.1 voteMost ISO codes of rogue nations are well known. We think that changes to geo IP blocking are rarely needed. To keep development costs reasonably low, perfect comfort for rarely used features is not a priority. In a server's lifetime it may occur twice that this is changed, so we wonder how often this feature is used in your daily routine that the added comfort is required? Please comment how you determine the countries to be blocked and why you change countries often so that we understand your routine better and can provide a better product while trying to keep license prices low.

Restricted mode: select subdomains to lock for deletion
Create opportunity to select subdomains that are locked for deletion by additional admin user
1 voteIs this about a four-eyes or six-eyes feature? Like one admin first needs to "prepare" domains or subdomains for deletion, then another admin can delete them? Could you please mention some details on the business case and why such a function would help users to work more efficiently with their server?
