Question

How to add programs to a chrooted shell environment template in Plesk.

Answer

Note: If you notice that you have to add more and more software into the chrooted environment template for a small number of customers, you may want to consider offering them an upgrade for their hosting to dedicated or virtual servers.

1. Connect to the server via SSH

2. Run the following commands to download and unpack the script:

   # wget https://plesk.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360023025260/update_chroot.zip

   # unzip update_chroot.zip

1. Add executable permission and run the script with the --add flag and the executable path, or name:

   # chmod +x ./update_chroot.sh
   # ./update_chroot.sh –add dash

   Note: see ./update_chroot.sh --help for other options such as locale.

   Note: Not all so…
