  1. Docker Compose to use over the admin panel

    I would like to administrate multiple Docker container via Compose, editable over the Admin panel. Some easy deploying mechanism including the Volumes of the container from my local machine over upload or git would be nice.

    We are glad to inform you that Docker Compose support is introduced in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.65.

    It is now possible to deploy Docker Compose YAML files (but not Dockerfiles or any other files required by an application), and also to modify and update the stacks from the new “Stacks” tab. Use copy and paste, or upload them from local storage. Typical operations on stacks are supported, such as: up (including pull and force-recreate), stop, and down.

    To enable these features, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-docker] newUI = on


    If you would like to see any additional and specific Docker Compose improvements kindly open a new UserVoice Request

    We are glad to inform you that Docker containers' configuration is included Plesk backups since Plesk Obsidian 18.0.65. Please note that this is only applicable to containers' configuration not the data in Docker volumes.

  3. Ability to pull Docker container private Docker repository on Docker Hub

    Currently, it is not possible to authenticate on https://hub.docker.com/ to use the container located in private repository.
    The w/a is to make the image public, download it and make it private again.

    The Docker extension now supports launching a Portainer container. Portainer is container management software that makes it easier to manage Docker containers. It allows you to connect to the official Docker Hub repository with authentication and your repositories with and without authentication! We would love to hear your feedback on our forum at https://talk.plesk.com.

  6. Start docker container with additional parameters

    Usually, when I use existing docker images from docker-hub or even my own, there are plenty of options I would like to provide on start of a new container. Currently plesk does not support that. From the commandline a docker-container can be instantiated with several image-specific parameters. I would like to be able to do that from plesk , too.

  7. Add portainer

    while somewhat noob friendly the current docker plugin is just missing pretty much every feature to make it useful for anyone else than a hobbyist.

    Portainer is multitudes more powerful and feature rich to serve the power users, for example being able to set up networks and swarms

    The ability to create a new stack from a docker-compose file stored inside a website’s Home directory is added to the Docker extension. This makes it possible to declare and build entirely custom containers, including links between them. Any artefacts created during the build process will be placed inside the website’s Home directory. We would love to hear your feedback on our forum at https://talk.plesk.com.

  9. docker logs

    Docker containers' logs are not being rotated and in time occupies a lot of space.
    It would be nice if there was an option to specify flags like:
    --log-driver json-file
    --log-opt max-size=50
    --log-opt max-file=2

  10. Extend restart options for docker

    Currently, Docker extension only supports "no" and "unless-stopped" (represented by "Automatic start after system reboot" tickbox).
    It would be nice having the ability to select any of:

    no
    on-failure
    always
    unless-stopped

  11. Allow for websocket traffic on Docker Proxy Rules

    This is a suggestion to add an option to the Docker Proxy Rule feature to add additional proxy configuration that allows websocket traffic.

    Currently when adding a Docker Proxy Rule via Plesk a proxy directive gets added to the domain's nginx configuration file. This proxy directive however does not cover configuration for websocket traffic. Because this proxy directive takes precedence over any nginx directives added to the domain's Additional nginx directives (saved in the vhost_nginx.conf) there is no way to make websockets work with a docker container when a Docker Proxy Rule is created via Plesk.

    My proposed solution would…

  12. Add feature to import/export docker containers

    Currently Plesk allows only create Docker containers from the scratch, however in case customers move whole their infrastructure to server with Plesk there is no official way to transfer Docker containers from source environment.

    The Docker extension allows you to "Save as Image" existing containers and to "Upload image" to Docker if you have images saved locally.

    Plesk now supports launching a Portainer container. Portainer is container management software that makes it easier to manage Docker containers. It also allows you to export from Docker and import images to Docker. We would love to hear your feedback on our forum at https://talk.plesk.com.

  13. Add ability to manage Docker networks

    Please add the ability to manage Docker networks by means of Plesk interface. It would be really nice to have the ability to create subnets and move containers between them.

    Everyone, we are closing the current request as the root cause of the issue was addresses in Plesk 18.0.66:


    Fixed the issue where viewing a Docker container’s “Overview” tab could freeze or crash the browser if the log files shown in the “Console Log” window had grown to a large size. (EXTPLESK-5826)


    Thank you for bring the case to our attention.

  16. Add "Docker" category to Plesk Feature Suggestions (plesk.uservoice.com)

    I think that it makes sense to add a "Docker" category to this interface since it is unclear where else to file them, and since Docker is (IMO) a killer feature of Plesk, suggestions and feedback are likely to increase.
