Plesk Obsidian 18.0.54

18 July 2023

What’s New?

We are excited to introduce the Sitejet Builder extension, our new website builder for Plesk powered by WebPros. This extension is provided free of charge, allowing you and your clients to effortlessly create modern and stunning websites without any coding skills. Here are some of the key features of our new website builder:
Drag & Drop Website Builder
140+ Website Templates
120+ Section Templates
Responsive Settings (Flexbox)
AI Text Generator
SEO Settings
Dynamic Content (for example, Blog Feature)
E-Commerce
Multi-language websites
Free Stock Photos & Videos
Image Editing
Website Backups
Full Design Flexibility (HTML, CSS, JS)
And many more…

Once installed, the Sitejet Builder is available in the setup wizard when adding a new domain, but also visible for all other domains on the domain card under ”Install Application”, and also as an option for the “Add Domain” action.

We would love to hear your feedback about this extension at feedback@plesk.com.

Added the ability to tune the MySQL/MariaDB server performance in Tools & Settings > Performance Booster (under “General Settings”).
Added the ability to add Transport Layer Security Authentication (TLSA) DNS records to domains’ DNS zones in Plesk. Such records are most commonly used to implement DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE).
Added the ability to back up databases separately from other website content by splitting the “User files and databases” checkbox into separate “Databases” and “User files” checkboxes in Backup Manager.
Added the ability to schedule hourly backups in Backup Manager. To enable the feature, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:
[pmm] allowHourlyTask = on

By default, the ability to schedule hourly backups is only enabled for Plesk administrators. To enable resellers and customers to do so as well, go to Tools & Settings > Backup Manager, click Settings > select the “Allow customer and reseller accounts to schedule hourly backups” checkbox, and then click OK.

Based on Beta users feedback we are glad to announce that our tool to convert your CentsOS 7 server to AlmaLinux 8 is now Production ready! The ready to use CLI tool is available in our GitHub repository.
Added a number of features to the DNS integration for Cloudflare extension (the extension is still in beta).
The extension now allows to enable & disable CDN (proxy mode).
Plesk administrator can now manage all domains on the server and enable/disable the integration for the domains owned by customers.

In Plesk for Windows, it is now possible to integrate your server with 360 Monitoring, a new tool present in the Plesk 360 cloud service. 360 Monitoring brings a couple of useful features, for example, monitoring of website availability, various notification channels, and more.

Feature Improvements

We made a number of improvements to the way icons are placed on the domain card in Dynamic list view:
Changed the way icons are aligned to grid.
Limited the number of icons in a row to three.
Increased the icon size from 16px to 24px. These changes make the domain card easier to read, and help you locate specific icons more quickly regardless of your viewport size.

In Dynamic List view, we merged the “Hosting Settings” and “Web Hosting Access” into a single drawer accessible right from the domain card.
Made a number of improvements to Dynamic List view:
When set to “On a separate page”, you can now see websites’ root folders. To enable the feature, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

[dynamicList] showColumnHostingLocation = on

When set to “In an expanded row”, clicking the “Expand all/Collapse all” button now completely expands or collapses the entire list of domains and subdomains.
Removed the separate “Hosting Settings” page for domain aliases. Controls for most settings can now be found right on the alias card. The option to rename a domain alias was moved to the hamburger menu in the top right corner of the alias card.

Added support for nightly packages in Plesk on RHEL 9 and its derivatives to the “SOGo Webmail” extension.
Added the -auto-confirm-this-may-lock-me-out-of-the-server option to the plesk ext firewall command line utility. The option can be used with the –apply and –enable commands, and removes the need to run the –confirm command in a separate SSH session when applying a new firewall configuration.

This option must only be used for automated Plesk deployments. Using this option may result in being permanently locked out of the server if the applied firewall configuration is misconfigured.
