Plesk Updates – Overview

 
administrator guideplesk updatesanti virusantivirusautomatic updates

In Plesk, you can manage updates of the following components:

  • Plesk packages and service packages built by Plesk. The latter include
    all Plesk extensions, Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Plesk Premium Antivirus, and so on.

    See Updating Plesk Manually via the User Interface below and
    also Updating Plesk Manually via the Command Line.

  • (Plesk for Linux) Operating system packages. You can manage their
    updates and notifications about the updates in Plesk if the
    System Updates tool is turned on.

    See Updating System and Third-Party Components Manually below.

  • (Plesk for Linux) Third-party components shipped with Plesk, such as
    MySQL, PHP, web servers, various mail services, and so on. These
    components can be updated as part of either system updates or Plesk
    updates if you have enabled automatic updating of third-party
    components.

    Note: Use automatic updates of third-party components with care.
    Websites hosted on your server might be incompatible with newer
    versions of certain components. The System Updates
    tool allows you to lock selected packages so that no updates will
    be applied to them. This is why automatic updates of third-party
    components are turned off by default.

    To enable automatic updates for third-party components, go to Tools
    & Settings
    > Update Settings and select
    “Automatically install updates for third-party components shipped by Plesk”.

This table shows which Plesk tool can be used for updating various
software components.

➕

Note:

If the System Updates tool is disabled or not supported,
these components are updated via Plesk Installer.

third-party service package updates if these updates are required by
dependency for a Plesk package update. Especially if a Plesk update
resolves critical security or stability issues.
