  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

Question Running a fully functional Dockerized Plesk

Tristian Kelly

New Pleskian
Is it possible to run Plesk completely Dockerized in an OS such as CoreOS and have all the same functions as a normal Plesk installed with Ubuntu? I'd like to build a Plesk-powered CoreOS Cluster for more High Availability and more flexibility. If this is possible, please tell me which directories I would need to mount in Docker volumes and all the ports used by Plesk and other software I would need to open. Thanks!
 
Don't take it for granted, However, I would not recommend running Plesk on Docker containers since Plesk for Docker is not designed for HA at all even for standalone Plesk Server. The reason is simple : Plesk is containerized with MySQL in one container, it's not possible by design to make it HA. (some people claim they have a workaround for this but it's not officially announced by Plesk and yet not confirmed) + you'll get no support from them unless they officially support it.

I use Plesk on container for quick look on new releases and not for serving customers.
