Question
Does Plesk support RHEL 8?
Answer
Support for RHEL 8 is available starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.25.
Known limitations:
-
No live/in-place upgrade from CentOS/RHEL 7 to RHEL8 available. Plesk R&D team is researching this feature to support it in future Plesk releases.
-
Legacy components
mod_bw
,mod_perl
andmod_python
are not available for installation. These components are deprecated. -
Currently, the following ModSecurity rulesets are available for selection: OWASP, Comodo.
-
Some third-party Plesk extensions might be incompatible with RHEL 8. In such cases, report the installation issues to the extension vendor via their support channel.
- Webalizer web-statistics feature is not available for installation as its packages are absent in the OS repository for RHEL 8. Consider using AWstats instead.
Note: as a workaround, the Webalizer package can be installed from the EPEL repository at your own risk.

Hello Mitchell van Bijleveld
Yes, it's going to be available. Work on it is currently in progress.
I performed a migration from an old server with Centos 7 to Centos 8 today. Some options related to mod_bw are still displayed in the service settings.
Is this a bug? Is there a way to remove them?
Only the remote docker functionality. Docker managing on the server is still not available.
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 :-)

The extension seems to work, i cannot however add the Docker server.
Hello Peter Olsen
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).
Hi Sebastian Ayala,
This happens because, on CentOS 8, your Plesk installation has mod_bw. It's expected, and if you don't want it the only way is to remove such component.
Hello Karl May
Sorry for the late response.
Let me double-check this.
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!
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.
Hi Peter, the ball is on Atomicorp side. As soon as they add support for RHEL/CENTOS 8 we will be able to use it in Plesk. To clarify ETA you may want to reach them here. Meanwhile I do recommend to use Comodo.
Hi Francisco Roman Garcia Rodriguez,
thanks for your support: Would Docker be supported with CentOS 8 in next release? Could I safely install Docker on the same server of Plesk?
I will create a UserVoice!
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.
Any news on KernelCare? They have a blog post from last year claiming support for CentOS 8 - https://blog.kernelcare.com/kernelcare-supports-centos-8-automated-live-patching
@Karl May,
According to Atomicorp support, RHEL 8 is already supported and they have plans to add CentOS 8 support later this year.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, stay tuned for the changes in this article.
Karl May There are still no issues about Modsec on Centos 8. Please monitor this article for future changes https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/obsidian/change-log/
@Razvan Rosca as I can see the questions was addressed in the ticket
Hey @.... I had fixed it by myself with this article (I had maria DB installed):
https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213938885-MySQL-shows-the-error-Too-many-open-files
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."
Does the latest Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.33 allow Centos 8 to run docker local on the same server?
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.
Hi Dennis, updated article by removing Docker from known issues, thank you noticing!
I would like to use CentOS 8 soon, so I check this article regularly. I am mainly interested in whether Atomic now supports ModSecurity. If you update the page, which contains a list of problems, it would be nice to know if you have removed or added items. I can only see that a change has been made to the article, but not what exactly.
@Ivan Postnikov
Is there any news about Atomicorp and Modescurity yet? I would like to rent a new CentOS 8.2 server and use "Atomic Advanced" there.
Hi,
Pls advise if EPEL and Remi Repository can be installed on Centos 8/Plesk

Hi Francesco Zanti,
It's the first time I hear about Podman, and I'm not aware of anything regarding this in Plesk.
I encourage you to create a UserVoice request.
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
