  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Forwarded to devs Docker Plugin - When updating environment variables, not able to have an "=" in the variable

TITLE:
Docker Plugin - When updating environment variables, not able to have an "=" in the variable
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:
Plesk Onyx on Ubuntu 18.0.4
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
I have a few docker container that are running asp.net core services. A few of the services connect to a database. I need to be able to manage the database in an environment variable. Currently I have to SSH into the container and manually update the appsettings.json file that holds the connection strings.

In the connection strings, there are "=" signs for the name of the database and the user. But when I try and save the environment variable, I get the error:

The value of an environment variable cannot contain the '=' (equal) sign.

This seems like a bug since I absolutely need those in the environment variable. I can add it when I start the container up in SSH, but then I can not update any of the environment variables since it will still have the bad one in its list.​
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Go to settings for a docker container, add an Environment Variable and make sure there is an "=" in the value... Save!​
ACTUAL RESULT:
Receive error: "The value of an environment variable cannot contain the '=' (equal) sign."​
EXPECTED RESULT:
A successful save of the environment variables​
