Resolved Plesk Onyx Preview and FeedBack

[IgorG]

Thread was renamed to Plesk Onyx Preview and FeedBack

 

[AndreasK]

Sounds great

But will it support using PPA? Our systems can only use 11.5 without migrations

 

[Kingsley]

when is the launch?

 

[IgorG]

when is the launch?

Expect it in early Q4.

 

[HoracioS]

Where is the PMM in the Onyx install? I upgraded from 12.5.30 but I can't see the PMM in the command line installer:
1. [=] Plesk
2. [=] BIND DNS server
3. [ ] PostgreSQL server
4. [ ] Server Health Monitor
5. [=] Fail2Ban
6. [=] SELinux policy
7. [=] All language localization for Plesk
8. [=] Git support
9. [=] MySQL server
10. [.] <+> Webmail services // 1 of 2 components selected
11. [.] <+> Mail hosting // 3 of 6 components selected
12. [.] <+> Web hosting // 10 of 18 components selected
13. [.] <+> Plesk extensions // 6 of 9 components selected

I tried from Plesk Extensions and says:
Error: Failed to install the extension: Executing /usr/local/psa/tmp/modulecYuwsy/plib/scripts/pre-install.php failed: It is impossible to install Plesk Migrator on Linux servers via Plesk extensions catalog. Please install it by means of Plesk Installer.

And when going to Plesk Installer, no PMM is available..

Best regards,
Horacio Stolovitzky

Where is the PMM in the Onyx install?

Note, that Onyx in preview stage and we do not support migration to preview version. Plesk Migrator will be supported later.

In case you've missed it, we've released another Onyx preview. Major features officially introduced are:

System Updates
Plesk Onyx provides server administrators with an easy-to-use tool for keeping their servers up to date. You can update any system packages present on the server either manually or automatically without having to open the console. The tool uses OS package managers (yum and apt) to perform updates, which makes the procedure of updating as robust as if it were done through native OS tools.

The tool provides extra flexibility if you don't want to update certain packages. It is possible to prevent packages from being updated by locking them via two clicks in UI.

Plesk ships a variety of components that were modified or built by Plesk team itself (for example, PHP version packages). You can also use this tool to monitor and update these packages at any time you want without waiting for Plesk updates.

Windows Server 2016
Windows Server 2016 is not officially released yet, but Plesk Onyx already supports its latest available technical previews. This new OS from Microsoft introduces IIS 10 web server with a of very important features. Wildcard subdomains, HTTP/2 support, new cipher suites and many other interesting features are available in IIS 10 and supported by Plesk Onyx when installed on Windows Server 2016.

The current Windows Server 2016 launch date is around Q3 of 2016, and we are committed to supporting it in Plesk Onyx through all technical previews to the final release. We are looking towards adding SSH and native Docker support.

Updated Log Browser
The Log Browser tool added in Plesk 12.5 has been updated in Plesk Onyx. It is now possible for all hosting users to open any arbitrary log file located on their virtual host in Log Browser for easier monitoring. Users can save any opened log file in the list of logs for accessing it in the future. If the log is not required anymore, it can be removed from the list.

Note that only plain text log files can be opened by Log Browser, binary log files are not supported. This functionality is especially useful for those who install and use various frameworks like Yii, Symfony, and so on.

Another improvement of the Log Browser tool is the highlighting of various files mentioned in logs. This can happen, for example, if there's an error in a particular file. The highlighted files can be opened in the embedded editor by clicking them, which makes debugging websites even faster.


Here's the rest of the changelog:

• If you used Plesk tools for working with Git (such as the Gitman extension), then upon upgrading to Plesk Onyx your existing repositories are automatically added to Git Manager, the new Plesk extension. This is true when you upgrade from older Plesk versions, for example, 12.5, and not true when you update to a newer Plesk Onyx preview version.
• The Git Manager extension now allows you to create a repository without deploying its files.
• The capability to view the log of commits was added to the Git Manager extension.
• The Docker Manager extension now allows you to add multiple remote Docker nodes to Plesk and switch among them.
• Action Log API was added to the Plesk SDK.
• The ability to add custom web server configuration and run web server reconfiguration was added to the Plesk SDK.
• The support for Hebrew language was added to Plesk.
• The stability of backing up data to FTP was increased.
• Obsolete options and functionality were removed from Plesk Installer.
• It was impossible to login to Plesk if the license had expired and the Google Auth extension was switched on in Plesk. (PPP-22897)
• The shell preferences of the system user were ignored on Git additional deploy actions. (PPP-22556)
• The title of the web server’s default page in the browser was incorrect. (PPP-22785)

Linux

• phpMyAdmin 4.6.0 is now supported.
• It was impossible to install Docker on RHEL 7 (64-bit). (PPP-22053)
• PHPMyAdmin 4.6 caused the error “Class ‘PMA_Util’ not found”. (PPP-22515)
• HTTP/2 was not enabled on clean Plesk installation. (PPP-22208)
• Ruby component was not found in Plesk for Ubuntu-12.04 (PPP-22689)
• On CentOS 6, SSH authorization failed under some conditions. (PPP-22364)
• Websites created in WordPress were displayed incorrectly in the quick preview mode. (PPP-22719)
• On some operating systems, Plesk’s full installation did not include Ruby interpreter and rbenv components. (PPP-22751)

Windows

• The support for SmarterMail 15 was added to Plesk.
• After the user disabled ASP.NET support on a subscription, the applicationHost.config file size increased due to unnecessaryelements in the section. (PPP-22303)
• It was possible to change the FTPS usage policy on a per IP basis, despite the fact that FTPS was enforced in Security Policy settings. (PPP-22452)
• In PHP settings, by default the value of post_max_size was smaller than that of upload_max_filesize. (PPP-22435)
• In some cases, the installation of the Let’s Encrypt extension failed with the error “The executable python.exe could not be run”. (PPP-22098)

Let us know what you think!

 

[Tscherno]

Ubuntu-16.04 not yet supported?

 

[UFHH01]

Ubuntu-16.04 not yet supported?

Official Answer:

Hi, the new Ubuntu version will definitely be supported in the next Plesk release, later this year.
Older versions will continue supporting their initial set of OSes

Yes, it will probably take longer. September-October maybe.

[Michaela Strotmann]

The new features, especially the GitManager is awesome! I send my changes to the remote repository, and then Plesk pulls them from the remote repository and deploys to my web site.

Love it!!

I've been trying to run Docker but for some reason I'm getting a permission denied error. I'm using CentOS 6.8 - I'm really new to this so any pointers would be a huge help please?

Screenshot:

 

[MisterU]

I'm using CentOS 6.8

CentOS/RedHat/CloudLinux 7, Debian 8, Ubuntu 14.04 (only x64) – Plesk Docker integration supports only OSes which match recommended requirements according the Docker documentation.

You may only attach remote Docker service to your Plesk server which based on CentOS 6.

Hi custer,

the new ruby packages result in a non-working Plesk Control Panel on Ubuntu 14.04. Basically I think you should inspect the part

[2016-07-19 19:51:35] ERR [panel] An exception occurred while executing 'ALTER TABLE Handlers ADD COLUMN enabled BOOLEAN NOT NULL':

In addition, there are several Problems with horde and it's depending components - root cause is psa-pear - package, as for example:

Trying to register horde5.1.4 and its application in local PEAR... PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW) in /usr/share/psa-pear/pear/php/PEAR/Frontend.php on line 91

Upgrading pear to a higher version could solve that issue, as I read in another forum, where a similar problem has been discussed.

 

[Alexey Sinko]

the new ruby packages result in a non-working Plesk Control Panel on Ubuntu 14.04. Basically I think you should inspect the part

As workaround you can remove Ruby Manager extension and install it again on Extensions Management page in Plesk.

 

[UFHH01]

Hi Alexey Sinko,

As workaround you can remove Ruby Manager extension and install it again on Extensions Management page in Plesk.

Sorry, to ask back again, but did you test your work-around for the whole "ruby" - package and the Plesk - ruby -addons? Because it took me about 1 hour, to remove it, due to dependencies errors, investigating the issue, replacing MySQL - dumps ( because I thought, it was a psa - DB issue, ... ). I like to test... but not with ( almost ) the same issue again and again.


Apart from that, I saw, that you now offer "Ubuntu 16.04" for Plesk Onyx on "autoinstall.plesk.com" - mirrors ( as for example "ftp://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/autoinstall.plesk.com/PSA_17.0.14/dist-deb-Ubuntu-16.04-x86_64/" , not on the official Plesk "autoinstall.plesk.com" ), but not for Plesk 12.5.30. Am I assuming correctly, to expect an earlier Plesk Onyx Stable release, than the official support for Ubuntu 16.04 for Plesk version 12.5.30 ?

 

[UFHH01]

• Users now can switch on SEO-safe redirect from HTTP to HTTPS for their websites in Plesk.

• PERFEKT!

• The “DNSSEC Support” Plesk extension was published.

• The support for automatic DNSSEC key rollover was added to Plesk.

BRILLIANT!

• Notifications informing users of manual actions that need to be taken are displayed in the Plesk interface.

• The ability to secure webmail with an SSL/TLS certificate was added to Plesk.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT implementation from the Plesk - uservoice - runs smoothly as you would expect of Plesk products!!!

• The ability to secure the mail server with an SSL/TLS certificate was added to Plesk.

VEEEERY nice... THANKY YOU!

• The ability to manage Cgroups limits for subscriptions was added to Plesk.

Cool! Very usefull!
