CloudLinux 9 support is not visible

When will CloudLinux 9 support come?
Do you know?

 

[Peter Debik]

At this time there is not ETA for Cloudlinux 9. For your strategy, your long-term planning it will probably be best to stay with Cloudlinux 8, if you prefer Cloudlinux over other operating systems. If you are thinking about another operating system, either Alma 8 or Alma 9 can be good choices, too. Cloudlinux 9 is built on Alma 9, but at the moment, Plesk does not support all features when it is installed on Alma 9. Chances are that there will be a long wait until support for Cloudlinux 9 is added.

If you have great arguments why Plesk should support Cloudlinux 9, please post a Uservoice request here: Feature Suggestions: Top (1814 ideas) – Your Ideas for Plesk . Let us know, why you think that CL 9 is the big thing of the future.

Any news about Cloudlinux 9 ?
Are you thinking of support it one day ? (thats a yes/no question, and will affect the OS of the next server)

 

[Alexander Bien]

At cloudfest a 3rd party suggested that if customer requests keep at the current (low) level, its going to take at least another year before CL9 will be supported- if it will be supported at all. @Peter Debik could you please comment?

 

[Peter Debik]

As the demand is very low, I do not expect CL 9 to be supported soon. It is realistic that the earliest estimate for consideration of CL 9 support is 2025, and from there it might still take a while until it is actually supported.

I'll be honest - I'm shocked to hear that demand for CL9 and Plesk is so low. I've used this combination for years and have found it to be great and had been hoping to jump my CL7 servers to CL9 without going to CL8 in the meantime. I guess it begs the question - what are people using instead of CL?

I also added a suggestion to Uservoice. Please vote for it if you too are wanting Plesk CL9 support ...

It's bizarre that plesk isn't supporting AlmaLinux 9! Active Support for AlmaLinux ends THIS MONTH and Security support ends in just 4 years, 10 months so why bother with AlmaLinux 8 at all and just go to AlmaLinux 9.

Frankly, I put it down to laziness on Plesk's part and a desire to not spend money despite increasing prices a fair bit over the past 2 years. It's your job to support the OS that we are using and will use.

 

[Kaspar@Plesk]

@sagelike AlmaLinux 9 has been supported by Plesk for about 1.5 years already. And AlmaLinux 8 will be supported until it reaches EOL (which is 2029).

 

[Alexander Bien]

This thread is about CloudLinux version 9 and the lack of interest on Plesk side to implement support for it.

 

[sagelike]

I installed Almalinux and tried to convert to Cloudlinux so that's what I meant.

 

[KarlAustin]

This is utterly ridiculous.

No one is voting because no one in their right mind would think they have to vote to see support for CloudLinux to continue.

No one is voting because it involves creating yet another login, when they've already got 4 or 5 for various Plesk systems!

There's going to be a lot of people shocked to find out CL9 isn't supported when they realise their CL8 boxes are running down their lifetime.

No one in their right mind is going to go from CL7 to CL8 right now when CL9 has been out for fast approaching 2 years!

 

[waxson]

I agree 110% ... TBH, this is the first time in a long time I've looked long and hard at moving over to cPanel ...

 

[axmand]

Joined to say that it is insane not to prioritize CL 9 for Plesk. That is a key feature for any sane host provider.

 

[sagelike]

Is anyone at Plesk listening?!

 

[axmand]

We had to revert back to Almalinux8 in a new server, because CloudLinux is a must. I cannot think of another way to run plesk securely without CloudLinux

Hello, everyone. Adding support for CloudLinux 9 to Plesk is planned for Q1 of 2025. Unfortunately, I cannot provide any precise date at this point. We will provide more information as soon as possible.
