Question I want to stay at CentOS 7 furthermore

[DieterWerner]

How can I prevent CentOS 8 from being installed automatically by plesk?
Reason: I don't need the published limitations and restrictions.

Plesk does not and will never upgrade your OS. There is no (official) way to upgrade CentOS 7 to CentOS 8 anyway.

So: Don't worry, your OS will remain the same version until you decide to migrate to CentOS 8

 

[DieterWerner]

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.25
Plesk now support CentOS 8/RHEL 8

does that mean that CentOS 8/RHEL 8 will not be installed?

Hi, DieterWerner

It means Plesk can be installed on CentOS8.x but it doesn't mean that Plesk will upgrade your CentOS6.x/7.x to CentOS 8.x. Just an additional supported OS in the list (Software Requirements for Plesk Obsidian). So, if you want to use Plesk on CentOS 8.x, you need to install Plesk Obsidian (>=18.0.25) or in other words, you can't install Plesk Obsidian 18.0.24 and early versions on CentOS 8.x.


If you want to install Plesk on CentOS 7.x and use it - it is supported configuration and there are no changes. CentOS7 will be supported until June 30, 2024 ("vendor termination date", Plesk Lifecycle Policy).
