NodeJS Allow more environment variables
When setting environment on a NodeJS App (using NodeJS extension) I am getting to the limit of four variables, sometimes five.
I assume that line ending is reached or something. I am connecting to several mongodb databases and for each db I need to auth which is set within an environment variable.
This limits my app a lot since I need to build overcomplicated workarounds using files to be loaded async and their content to be validated, then connecting to the db and so on.

Better migration of "PHP from OS vendor" parameters
Please consider the following use case:
- testdomain.tld on a CentOS target server is using "PHP from OS vendor" version 5.3;
- The destination server is Ubuntu 14, with newer version of PHP from OS vendor, so you install PHP 5.3 with Plesk Installer;
- The migrated testdomain.tld will have different PHP parameters that may cause disruption of the website.An example: PHP short open tag is enabled by default on PHP from CentOS repository, but is disabled on PHP 5.3 handler installed via Plesk Installer. If a PHP code uses short open tags, the script will stop working. Plesk…
4 votesThe problem may be in that destination server will not be able to use specified version of PHP for the migrated domain because of absence in official OS vendor’s repository. To prevent this kind of problems we see improvement of pre-migration checker which will notify you about possible post-migration issues. After that, the server administrator must solve the problem himself. The automatic resolving of these incompatibilities looks very dangerous.

Change default notification settings for built-in scheduled task on Windows
The following built-in scheduled tasks on Plesk for Windows are set byd default to Notify = Every time. Every clean install of Plesk will send daily two annoying e-mail messages to the administrator. It will be more useful to change that default to Notify = Errors only.
Daily web statistics analyzers run task:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\admin\bin\webstatisticsexecutor.exeDaily script task:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\admin\bin\php.exe -q "C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\admin\plib\DailyMaintainance\script.php"4 votes -

don't write in the backup repository during plesk updates
I mounted a remote server via sshfs and set it as the plesk backup repository, so I can backup my domains through sftp (with a keyfile).
But now, whenever I try to upgrade my plesk installation, plesk writes files to my backup repository (i.e. mysql backup before a mysql upgrade) and immediately tries to change the owner of the file, which fails because chown it is not supported on mounted directories.
The best solution would be to provide the option to set a different path for automated backups.

Set right ciphers by default on Windows
There is a documentation how to do it manually: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/administrator-guide/plesk-administration/securing-plesk/pci-dss-compliance/tune-plesk-to-meet-pci-dss-on-windows.78901/
but there is no tool to do it automatically (and by default during the installation).
4 votesAFAIU, the request is about right ciphers for SSL configuration. We have a documentation how to do it manually: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/administrator-guide/plesk-administration/securing-plesk/pci-dss-compliance/tune-plesk-to-meet-pci-dss-on-windows.78901/ but have no tool to do it automatically, so, this is a valid request, we’ll look into it.
There is no ETA at the moment, but we would really appreciate you voting for this request so that we can accurately assess its popularity relative to other features. Thanks in advance!

Add a "Status" column in the Scheduled Tasks (Cron Jobs) list
The status of a task is currently indicated by a grey or green icon in the "Schedule" column.
It is typical for number of servers to have numerous tasks (let's say.... a bunch of them!)
Adding the availability to sort tasks by their status will be a great help.3 votesThank you for your idea. We understand that you would like to have the status icon in a separate column, making it possible to sort all jobs by their status "active" or "inactive". We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

Include email directories in disk space viewer extension
As described in https://www.facebook.com/groups/plesk/posts/24753472967632807 the Disk Space Viewer extension only shows the usage of directories in a subscription's webserver file path, e.g. /var/www/vhosts/subscriptioname/. The display is misleading some users that have a lot of storage space occupied in their mailboxes. For that reason it would be good if the extension could also include the mailbox paths of a subscription.

Cloudflare DNS extension for Plesk: Add option to sync subdomain on separate subscription
If I add a subdomain as a subscription (so that it is isolated from other (sub)domains) then I can't sync those subdomains with CloudFlare using Plesk's Cloudflare DNS.
3 votesAccording to https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/ Cloudflare allows to do that only for the enterprise plan. At the moment, only very few users would benefit from a feature as most are on the Cloudflare free plan.
Nevertheless we will consider to implement the feature in a future update of the extension.
Please continue to vote for it if you believe that this is an important feature.

Add PHP shmop extension support useful for Wordpress performance and site health
When you run the Wordpress Helath Check under Wordpress Tools menù and you run a Plesk server you will get the following alert:
You should allow inter-process communication Performance
You should consider using shared memory (PHP shmop) to allow inter-process communication.Could I suggest to add the PHP shmop support?
I'm running PHP 8.3 and I'm not sure to use SSH command to try to get this extension working, will be nice if in the future this can be integrated in Plesk as ... today Wordpress is a very used CMS and we want always to have good performance.Thank…
3 votesThank 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.
Meanwhile, if you want to try to install shmop yourself, these are the general steps (provided here without warranty, try it on a test server before applying it to your production system):
1) Install Plesk PHP development package:
For RPM-based OS (CentOS, RHEL, CloudLinux):
# yum install plesk-php83-devel
For Debian-based OS (Debian, Ubuntu):
# apt install plesk-php83-dev build-essential
2) Check what's the currrent version of your PHP 8.0
# /opt/plesk/php/8.3/bin/php -v
3) Download PHP source based on the version of the step 2
For example:
# wget https://www.php.net/distributions/php-8.3.0.tar.bz2
Please pay special attention that the version matches the one determined in step 2!
4) Extract the .tar file of the PHP downloaded
# tar -xvjf /root/php-8.3.0.tar.bz2
Again, the version shown here…
