• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Moving the Panel from the maindomain.tld:port to sub domain?

Basic Pleskian
Not sure if this is possible but I would like to move the default panel location to a sub domain with that port required.

Example: panel.maindomain.tld:8443

My idea is that the panel wouldn't load if someone went to maindomain.tld:8443. They would also need to know the sub domain as well. Just better security if you ask me.

Is this even possible? I've searched the internet, kb and forum and couldn't find anything.
 
I'm going to go with possible, but you'd have to configure the panel's underlying lightppd server to do this, the thought of which makes me dizzy! (Not to denegrate lightppd but I'm starting to learn nginx alongside apache and the idea of the third web server configuration syntax doesn't fill me with joy).

I think its far better if you can control the IPs from which you connect to the panel and then restrict administrative access to that IP (alongside firewalling if there's only you connecting), then you're not relying on obscurity.

Paul.
