  • 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 Ubuntu 18.04 Lightsail Image Coming?

Mark Bailey

Basic Pleskian
It's great that there is a Plesk image on Lightsail, but I am concerned that it's Ubuntu 16.04, which has limited life left (despite its LTS status...much of its time has already passed).

Will there be an 18.04 image available soon on Lightsail?

Or is it possible to install the image and update Ubuntu to 18.04? I didn't know if there were any gotchas there.

Thank you.
 
Hi Mark Bailey,

Yes, we plan it, I can say that it will be in this year but I don't have exact ETA.

I also checked a few different images in Lightsail Catalog, currently, they use Ubuntu 16.04 too.

I also can say that I updated my own Lightsail instance with Plesk 17.8.11 from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04, and then from Plesk 17.8.11 to Plesk 17.9 Preview #10 last weekend. It is my test server (and it is not a production server but I had a few backups anyway :)), I faced with some issues but fixed them; I can't suggest you do the same but it is possible.
