  • 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.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question Plesk and Bridged Network

tkalfaoglu

Silver Pleskian
I'd like to install KVM hypervisor on the machine that's running plesk.
That involves creating a bridge, and assigning the ethernet to it. The ethernet itself becomes without an IP, and the br0 picks up the IP address. Likewise, the other IP addresses that are normally assigned to eth0:1 or 2 or 3 etc should presumably be assiged to br0:1 or 2 or 3 etc.

Any ideas how to implement bridging and alias IP addresses without breaking plesk?
Many thanks, -t

Probably not. I assume having KVM virtual machines and running Plesk in one or more of them is quite common, but having Plesk on the actual hardware node alongside the VMs isn't common at all.

That being said, there are alternative KVM networking setups that don't require creating a bridge with the server's NIC. A tap network with the help of qemu hooks, perhaps?

I had something like this in production but our hardware nodes were quite minimal and I have no idea what adding something like Plesk would do.
