  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question DigitalOcean DNS Extension Doesn't Actually Sync?

TrevorGage

New Pleskian
We've found a huge problem with this extension: performing a sync (to sync the DNS records between Plesk and DigitalOcean's DNS system) doesn't actually sync any changes!

Example to reproduce:
  1. Create a subscription in Plesk.
  2. Manually initiate a sync to add the domain zone to DO (although I really wish this step was automatic).
  3. Check the domain in DO. At this point everything matches.
  4. Make any changes or additons in the DNS zone in Plesk.
  5. Click "Sync all zones" to "Synchronize the information about all zones between Plesk and DigitalOcean."
  6. Check the zone in DigitalOcean. It remains exactly as it was before. The changes aren't there. So it looks like this extension only syncs when a zone is created. https://19216801.onl/ https://routerlogin.uno/ https://192168ll.link/
I'm not sure why an extension like this wouldn't actually sync any changes. To us as a hosting provider, that makes it unusable (along with the fact that it doesn't sync automatically when a new subscription is created).

I'd really love to see this extension work as it's implied to, for example the description says it "automatically" syncs, whereas a sync only happens when "Sync all zones" is clicked manually.

I know there is a Slave DNS extension, but this one has several advantages and would be a better choice for some people if not for these shortcomings.

Cheers,

Which version of the DigitalOcean DNS extension do you use?

For me, the extension does everything automatically. I haven't ran into any problems. When I add a domain in Plesk the zone automatically gets added to DO. When I change a DNS record in Plesk the zone get update automatically in DO. No need to sync manually.
