  1. Backup retention period options

    It'll be useful to have the ability to configure the retention period of the backup. Right now it's only possible to set the "Maximum number of full backup files to store (including both scheduled and manual backups)".

    While it'll be useful to set something like "Keep backup for "x" weeks", to have more flexibility, when it gets to the backup storage.

  2. Drupal and Joomla Scan & Discovery

    After migrating a Drupal or Joomla, before or after a disaster recovery the Drupal and Joomla sites are no longer attached to the Plesk Panel. The Drupal core updates no longer work, which was a nice time saving feature.

    If anyone has a work around please let me know

  4. Let pci_compliance_resolver --enable postfix also set FORWARD SECURITY and go dor TLSv1.3

    Even though server supports TLS 1.2, the cipher suite configuration is suboptimal. It is recommend to configure the server so that the cipher suites providing forward secrecy (ECDHE or DHE in the name, in this order of preference) and authenticated encryption (GCM or CHACHA20 in the name) are at the top. The server must also be configured to select the best-available suite!

    also there is TLSv3 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8446
    (and draft is used already a long time by many;)

    http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html

    And while Playing on Mailserver think about MTA Strict Transport Security (Draft standard) and Email DANE / TLSA.

  6. Allow subscriptions to have its shell set to chrooted while also having its cron jobs use a shell other than chrooted

    Allow subscriptions to have its shell set to chrooted while also having its cron jobs use a shell other than chrooted.

    When customer has the ability to set a custom shell for the subscription (https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/administrator-guide/server-administration/scheduling-tasks/scheduled-tasks-shell-setting.78064/#o78102) and this shell is set to CHROOT (Subscriptions > example.com > Web Hosting Access) the corresponding Schedule Tasks in the subscription cannot be run under another shell, for example /bin/bash.
    For example the following command will not change the shell for that customer: plesk bin server_pref -u -crontab-secure-shell "/bin/false".
    Checking upon the user will show that the shell is still CHROOT:

  7. Ability to set the tags to emails which are did not pass the DKIM and SPF checks

    If DKIM or SPF test failed and DMARC enabled with quarantine policy the message will be sent directly to spam. Need the possibility to add tags and rules for messages, for example add tag to subject [DKIM FAILED] but save the message in the inbox folder (not send to spam)

  9. Multiple PHP versions for php as Apache module

    Currently multiple PHP versions are supported only in FastCGI/CGI modes.
    Customer would like to be able to select PHP version when PHP execution mode is set to Apache module.

    Could you please explain your desired workflow in more details? What is expected benefit of this feature? Actually mod_php can be only one for Apache and we should use multiple mod_php modules for replacing. Not sure that it is possible without Apache restarting, etc. Also switching mod_php can be only server wide. Why modern FastCGI/CGI, PHP-FPM modes are not enough for you?

    UPD: You can even use fpm if you have Apache 2.4 version. So we are closing this request, since it does not contain any feature suggestions.

  10. Add SmarterMail admin email management in Plesk

    Users who create email accounts through Plesk do not have the option to configure them with administrator permissions in SmarterMail.
    This limits their ability to manage spam filters, safe senders, and other advanced settings directly in SmarterMail.
    Add an option in the Plesk email account creation process to assign administrator permissions in SmarterMail.
    This would allow users to manage their email accounts more fully and autonomously.

    We need to place a custom button in the Navigation Menu in the Customer interface, however, this option is not available in Tools & Settings > Custom Buttons > Add Link Service > Location drop-down menu selection.

    As for now, this location is only available with a custom extension: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/extensions-guide/plesk-features-available-for-extensions/implement-ui/integrate-to-plesk-ui/add-custom-buttons.73624/

  12. 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.

  14. If mailbox size is set to the maximum, then it is impossible to delete mails larger than mailbox size/2

    If the mailbox size is set to the maximum (eg 25 MB), then it is impossible to delete mails larger than mailbox size/2 (>12.5MB). This is because the system tries to copy the mail first to trash (2*>12.5) -> error.
    This should be resolved as soon as possible. An intermediate solution is to set the mailbox size to less than half of the max.

  15. add a simple interface setting that allows the user to hide some of the links from the left hand nav bar

    A setting that enables the user to customise or hide links on the left hand nav bar. For example we only ever use the subscriptions link, so the domain, reseller and service plan links are not used, taking up real estate space that is not required. A simple tick box admin page could be set up to allow for hiding the features from the sublinks.

    This could be a per user or a global setting.

    As the new interface allows for a larger branding image, which is much better, the suggestion would also enable a better layout of the nav…

    To solve your issue, please contact your hosting provider (the company that hosts your website) and request support from them directly. We are the authors of the software you and your hosting provider are using, and unfortunately, we cannot help with this particular request because we do not host your website. We are closing your request as it doesn’t include any software improvement proposal.

    Port and hostname cannot be edited, because they are set by the service and the host configuration. If you wish to change the hostname, please set the new hostname in /etc/hosts and edit it in Plesk as described in https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213941265--How-to-change-or-get-the-server-hostname-on-Plesk-server. If you wish to change the database port, this must be done in the database configuration and depends on database type and version. Please refer to the man pages of the database server that your system is using. Normally, it is not advised to change the port.

  18. Separate MySQL disk space storage and limits

    It would be great value to be able to set separate limits for MySQL/PostgreSQL storage.

    For example I use SSD drives for MySQL data location and SAS drives for vhosts. For this setup, separate limits on MySQL would be a great value.

  19. Webserver default site: Option for "none, without Plesk default page"

    I don't want to assign a specific web site for the server's IP address, but I also don't want to show visitors the Plesk default page. Current workaround is to create a domain "defaultpage.tld" that delivers an empty page to make the monitoring happy.

    Downside of this is that it wastes a domain license.

    Would be nice, in "Tools & Settings > IP Addresses" to have another option "none, empty page".

    For technical reasons of how Apache works, it is not possible to create an empty page site without defining any ip address. A web server must listen to an ip address to being able to respond, even if it responds with an empty page. Apache sieves traffic through all known domain names that are configured on the server until it finds no more virtual host entries. Then it defaults to the standard page.

    This standard page is the Plesk page that you see. But there is an easy solution to achieve exactly what you want: You can simply replace the content of that standard page with anything you like. You can put a website into it or you can remove the existing file content so that the web server delivers the empty, white page you desire. Have a look at the content of /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs. This is your document root for…
