    Question Automatically retrieve and download Plesk backups from /var/lib/psa/dumps/

    I did found this: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12377966554135-Local-backup-structure-in-Plesk-for-Linux But I still don't quite understand how a distinction can be made here between server and user backups.

    Question Automatically retrieve and download Plesk backups from /var/lib/psa/dumps/

    Hey! I would like to automatically download the last two complete Plesk backups and all associated incremental backups via shell script (from an external backup server). I explicitly do not want to use SFTP, as no incoming connections are allowed on the backup server. Is there any useful...

    Question Plesk backend often not accessible when installing updates manually

    I have also contacted the host provider about this. And I was probably very correct in my assumption. We suspect that it is due to the very outdated kernel on the host system, which is shared with a modern Ubuntu 22.04 operating system on openvz. hostnamectl Virtualization: openvz Kernel: Linux...

    Question Plesk backend often not accessible when installing updates manually

    I was just able to reproduce it this way too, so the task limit doesn't seem to be the problem: After that it worked again on 2 attempts. Is it possible that Plesk sometimes does something in the background and if an update takes place during this time, that it then hangs? Cronjobs or...

    Question Plesk backend often not accessible when installing updates manually

    Unfortunately there is nothing to be found anywhere. These are the first entries from the log. I don't understand it either. But the problem is reproducible after every Plesk update, which I install myself via https://example.com:8447/installer/summary.html. The other user here had the same...

    Question Plesk backend often not accessible when installing updates manually

    But I'm not entirely sure whether this is the solution to the problem. As there was a real loop when restarting the service tonight. Ps. Too bad you can only edit here for 4 minutes, that's a bit short. journalctl -u sw-engine -n 100 --no-pager

    Question Plesk backend often not accessible when installing updates manually

    Analysis Commands cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max → Shows the maximum number of process IDs (PIDs) available system-wide. Output: 4194304 This is a very high limit, meaning the system allows up to 4.19 million simultaneous tasks. It’s a kernel-level setting and not a practical limit for...

    Issue Error 502 when trying to log in

    It seems to have something to do with the cgroup limits? I still have the error with Plesk updates. https://talk.plesk.com/threads/plesk-backend-often-not-accessible-when-installing-updates-manually.378687/
