CentOS 8/RHEL 8 support in Plesk

Question

Does Plesk support CentOS 8/RHEL 8?

Answer

Support for CentOS 8/RHEL 8 is available starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.25.

Known limitations:

• No live/in-place upgrade from CentOS/RHEL 7 to CentOS/RHEL8 available. Plesk R&D team is researching this feature to support it in future Plesk releases.

• Plesk has not been tested on CentOS Stream. Therefore, it is not recommended to install Plesk on CentOS Stream.

• Legacy components
mod_bw,
mod_perl and
mod_python are not available for installation. These components are deprecated.

• Webalizer web-statistics feature is not available for installation as its packages are absent in OS/EPEL repositories for CentOS 8/RHEL 8. Consider using AWstats instead.

• Currently, the following ModSecurity rulesets are available for selection: OWASP, Comodo.

• Some third-party Plesk extensions might be incompatible with CentOS 8/RHEL 8. In such cases, report the installation issues to the extension vendor via their support channel.

• PHP 7.0 and earlier PHP versions are not available for installation, because CentOS 8 system libraries are not compatible with them.
