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
andmod_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.

Hi Benjamin Noack could you please open a support ticket with us? this is another issue altogether: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608509-How-to-submit-a-request-to-Plesk-support-
Hi Benjamin Hodgetts I have double-checked with CloudLinux and Centos 8 is now supported. I have updated the article.

Hello,
Any news on Imunify360? Or is it still in Beta?
Also, new setup from today on Debian 10 because tests on mail issues, and "Site Import" extension fails install with the following error:
Thanks!
Atomic have not yet released their ModSecurity rules compatible with CentOS 8/RHEL 8, since it is not available for selection at Tools & Settings > Web Application Firewall > Settings. Therefore, the following ModSecurity rulesets are available: OWASP and Comodo
Just checked the AUM script - it appears that CentOS 8 is now supported :-)

Hello Jonathan
This wasn't tested but should work. Use this instruction to register custom PHP version in Plesk: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000497853
Let me note that enabled custom repositories sometimes prevent Plesk form installing updates.
Hello Peter
I confirm this was also reproduced on our test server.
Currently, it's planned to make corresponding updates in Plesk in 18.0.31 (may be changed in case f high priority bugs found).
Hello Bryan Joshua Pedini
Imunify360 supports CentOS 8 starting from version 4.9, which is currently in beta.
As far as I know, the "Site Import" issue was investigated in a ticket.
I'd say something needs to happen soon because my Plesk panel had been popping all kind of errors and I'm pretty sure it has been due to this... it seems like every time I run a Plesk repair all on my system I have to run a Plesk repair fs verbose immediately after because I have files that it doesn't like.
It seems like there are now Docker packages available for CentOS 8?

Hello Mitchell van Bijleveld it seems like yes, thank you for brining our attention to this! We will do research on this to see if we can add support for Docker on CentOS 8.
Hi My Domain Labs,
There may be different reasons why permissions change on website files, for example, if it is a WordPress website, some plugins are known to cause this behavior, or a malicious script if the server was hacked. I recommend opening a support ticket with us so we may investigate this further on the server.
Any ETA on Docker/Podman support on CentOS 8?
https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/ ..."CentOS Linux 8, as a rebuild of RHEL 8, will end at the end of 2021."
Klinging on what Steve Yates wrote above: CentOS Linux will be retired and support end of 2021. Are there any plans to support CentOS Stream instead of the "normal" releases of CentOS 8 so have a proper subsitute?
Specifically CentOS 8 will be retired at that point, CentOS 7 will still be supported until June 30th, 2024.
Hello,
because of CentOS 8 EOL at December 2021, Plesk should support upcoming CloudLinux 8 Free Edition, because it is already supports the classic version of CloudLinux 8. More at https://blog.cloudlinux.com/announcing-open-sourced-community-driven-rhel-fork-by-cloudlinux
Regards,
I just performed the following tests with:
1 - OS: CentOS Stream 8
Product Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.32 Update # 2, last updated on Jan 14.
2 - OS CentOS Linux 8.3.2011
Product Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.32 Update # 2, last updated on Jan 17, 2021
** Migration tool: Plesk Migrator Version 2.20.2-962
**** - Server to be migrated:
* OS CentOS 6.10 (Final)
Product Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.31 Update # 3, last updated 12/25/2020
Result:
Both CentOS 8 (Stream and Linux 8.3) worked correctly. Much faster Stream version, but ....
* Grafanna does not respond with Stream version.
* Plesk Migrator does not
* PHP versions 5.6 and earlier did not respond.
* Wersites with summer prior to PHP 7.1 do not respond with ioncube_loader.
Does the latest Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.33 allow Centos 8 to run docker local on the same server?
Centos Linux is dead:
