Scheduled tasks Add user dropdown
When logged in with the main admin/root account click in the right hand column on "Scheduled Tasks" takes me to the Cron jobs that I can setup.
There is no indication as what system user will run the task? This has cuased a couple of my crons to fail and struggled to find the issue.
Eventually I found I needed to under Main nav - Server tab then to Scheduled Tasks.. this takes me to the users lists that I can set cons for specific users.
Very confusing!
1 voteIn Plesk 12.5, you can select the system user while creating a scheduled task. A drop-down menu was added for that purpose.
Note: You can specify a system user only for server-wide scheduled tasks, but not for scheduled tasks of a webspace (subscription). The system user of a webspace is used to run scheduled tasks of a webspace, and that user cannot be changed.

Backup via SSHFS
We have huge amounts of Backup Data (currently around 450gb per file). The whole process using FTP takes around ~ 13 hours to complete. Trying to restore something is a big bottleneck for us. Restoring from FTP is ****, and we searched for alternatives.
We decided to give SSHFS a try by mounting /var/lib/psa/dumps to the remote Server and disconfigured the FTP Settings. The result is annoying. The Backup now takes around 2,5 hours, the Plesk Backend is really fast now and local space is not consumed anymore!
So i suggest you to give SSHFS a try. It is like…

Restart services on failure using systemd
We've noticed that Plesk services like plesk-php72-fpm are sometimes killed by the out of memory killer or otherwise crash and require manual intervention by us. The services could be made more resilient by adding the following file to supplement Plesk's service file and reloading systemd.
cat /root/reload-on-fail.conf
[Service]
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5scp /root/reload-on-fail.conf /usr/lib/systemd/system/plesk-php*-fpm.service.d/reload-on-fail.conf && systemctl daemon-reload
I've also made an ansible playbook for this:
https://gist.github.com/nbeernink/679b8c0bc635158b0ea4dfb96e10c7c5Additionally, you can also add this to services like nginx, mysql/mariadb, dovecot and postfix and they will restart on failure as well.
However instead of us all running these playbooks on…

Print all domains and associated subdomains along with their details on terminal
Hello,
It would be great if you have the option to print all the domains, subdomains and aliases with their owner, document root and ip address on the terminal.
I mean like the file /etc/userdatadomains in cPanel. It will help us a lot to speed up troubleshoot.1 voteYou can use command:
- plesk bin domain -i domain.com
for getting all information about domain. Or
- plesk bin subdomain -i sub.domain.com
For all domains use something like:
- for i in `mysql -uadmin -p\`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow\` psa -Ns -e “select name from domains”`; do /usr/local/psa/bin/domain -i $i; done
You can modify this script as you want.

Custom HTTP methods on Windows Servers
Only when Plesk creates a website will it create this entry at the website level in IIS in the handler mappings, pointing to this file "php-cgi.exe"
There is no PHP handler in the IIS root that allows me to configure the allowed verbs and that can be propagated to websites.
When Plesk creates a website, it has a set of settings that it applies to the website, which includes the creation of the handler to interpret .php files, the path of the executable that it installed itself and the allowed verbs.
I know that after creating a website and only…

Plesk advanced notifications settings
It would be great to add an additional tab in Tools & Settings > Notifications > Settings with some additional option:
1- Method of delivery:
1.1 - Default (Using Plesk server)
1.2 - External SMTP Authentication2- Possibility to set a senders email address:
2.1: root@hostname
2.2: Plesk Admin email
2.3: Custom email3- Customize "Reply-To" email address

Forbid customers to remove some specific folders via FileManager or FTP
It would be very helpful to add a new feature in Plesk in order to deny customers to remove some specific folders via FileManager or FTP.
For example:
Currently, any customer can get in website root folder /var/www/vhost/example.com/ > Select all folders > Remove them. This can cause a big problem as it will remove error_docs, logs, httpdocs, GIT keys and other subdomain content.With this new feature, Plesk administrator will be sure that these folders will not be deleted, however, the customer still will be able to create, modify, content from his folders.

Implement a disk space check for "plesk sbin pmm-ras" utility
Exporting a backup via "pmm-ras" utility may bring down the server because it ran out of disk space during the procedure:
plesk sbin pmm-ras --export-dump-as-file --dump-specification=backupinfo<timestamp>.xml --dump-file-specification=/root/backup.tar
Please improve the "pmm-ras" utility to check for free disk space before starting the operation to avoid these scenarios

Support for node-red
I miss node-red extension to install and setup for featuring my website with the web hosting pkg.
For now, I'll take a second server with root, so I can access the shell and install everything to fulfill my tiny and simple but dynamically website with a MQTT broker. But it would be great if you could integrate it to the standard web hosting pkg.1 voteUpd: Sorry, we are closing the request as no information was provided for over a month.

Change autoinstaller method
Plesk come with an auto installer, by default when you click on install, the application will be installed to root directory of your domain. If you want to install them in subdirectory, you need to click on Advanced.
Ie:
on domaine.xyz, i want to install Wordpress, it will be installed in httpdocs, but if i have already a website in, it will be erased. Is there any way to select as default " Advenced " ?

Deny access to all dot files by default
A lot of web applications that are either built or simply installed on a website use dot files and folders, whether those be .htaccess, .git, .env, etc.
Generally speaking dot files and folders are used to store either sensitive files or backend configuration which you would never want users to be able to access.
By default Apache has some protection built-in to restrict accessing dot files, but Nginx does not. This creates a potential security risk, for example I might install a web application or build one which has dot files in the public root, these most likely would…

Show me why a domain is suspended!
Allow me to pull, from /usr/local/psa/bin or /usr/local/psa/admin/bin, why a domain is suspended. I am a support agent for (mt) Media Temple (one of your largest clients) and I cannot find why some domains are suspended.
In some cases you see things like: "Suspend domains until backup task" but in others it just says something like: "This domain cannot be activated because it was suspended by Hosting Provider"
This leads people to think their web host provider suspended it (which is not the case) rather than Plesk automatically suspending it. This particular case was the Plesk Subscriptions Expiration Date hitting…

Separate server scheduled tasks from webspace' scheduled tasks in Plesk Admin license
On a Plesk running with Plesk Web Pro or Web Host license, the customers have the ability to go to Domains > example.com > Scheduled Tasks.
However, on a Plesk Admin license, the user can only manage the Scheduled tasks from Tools & Settings > Scheduled Tasks. Due to the fact that there are more than 20 tasks created by root user, it's very hard to manage and monitor the scheduled tasks set by the customer.

Domain size spaces
Hi Plesk team,
I know that Plesk, calculating the weight space data use only for users with (ID >= 100) on linux system.
My proposal would be to add an option in the parameters (Pack of service) an option that would activate the calculations of all the actual weight size data even with users that they have the ID <100 for example root user who would add files in the " space vhosts.
I have append picture for example sample append new option if is possible.

WHMCS module / API to provision Docker containers.
Docker support is already a killer of Plesk (something I had begged for in WHM/cPanel before switching).
It would be epic if I could allow customers to purchase and provision a Docker container automatically from WHMCS. Obviously, there would have to be some tight control and they would only be pre-defined images. It must be a list of images that I curate since many Docker images do not provide sufficient environmental variables - example: official Redis doesn't let you pass a password, but others like bitnami/redis and
frodenas/redis allow you to pass REDIS_PASSWORD, which is necessary for a shared environment…15 votes -
Allow configuring "From" header for cron tasks when remote SMTP (MSMTP) is used on a Plesk server
If Amazon SES(or some similar solution) is used as remote SMTP configured in Plesk, cron emails cannot be sent because "From" header is hardcoded in cron, here are some related threads:
