  1. Add docker app support

    Hello,

    This is an request,it may or may not be fulfilled but I fulfilled,it would be so good.

    Add option to deploy dockerized apps.That would be so flexible and very good feature.Since it’s quite frustrating that you’re already not providing root access,in the docs it was mentioned too,I appreciate it.But docker would be a much safer replacement to the root feature request,it would not risk your platform if not given privileged containers.

    Thank you.

  3. DNS Made Simple - Query current DNS records for import.

    For users switching to DNS made easy, it would be beneficial to have an feature that queries the current DNS records for import, much like Cloudflare does when setting up DNS for a new domain.

    This would help eliminate potential errors and tedious back and forth while adding existing (sometimes numerous) records.

    Ideally, it would have an option to select all the records or choose which records you want to keep.

  4. Safeupdates on staging sites

    Enable SafeUpdates on the staging side, perhaps leaving the option to choose whether to update live or staging or both.
    The current configuration of SafeUpdates on the live site leaves staging uncovered, which requires a pull from live to be realigned.

  6. wildcard aliases should behave as expected

    adding a wildcard subdomain alias to an application breaks other subdomains. eg. If I have an alias of *.domain.com on domain.com and also sub.domain.com as another application, then sub.domain.com will be broken because php scripts will be served form domain.com. this is a bug

  7. SafeUpdate: ignore dynamic content in screenshot comparisons

    If you have a slider or other dynamically changing content on your website (ads, banners, etc), those will often look different in the SafeUpdate before/after screenshots - causing the updates to be aborted. There should be a way to exclude these areas, e.g. using CSS selectors. Other hosting providers offer this option with their safe updating tools.

  8. It would be great to be able to go back to see the resources analysis from previous months in Autonomous apps.

    On autonomous apps I can only see the metrics from the existing month. I'd like to be able to see the data from previous months. It helps to verify any overages I'm charged.

  9. mysql log

    In basic programming, the database log plays a crucial role, as it captures specific database error cases. Including both application errors and MySQL errors in the log is essential for comprehensive error tracking and analysis.

    Example for cases: https://kedar.nitty-witty.com/blog/1030-unknown-generic-error-from-engine-in-mysql

  10. Add MySQL as a database option (not just MariaDB)

    Many people are hosting Craft CMS websites on Cloudways. With the coming release of Craft CMS 5, Maria DB is no longer recommended.

    See: https://craftcms.com/knowledge-base/craft-database-options-and-best-practices#mariaDB

  11. Email notification when server health becomes problematic.

    To my surprise; I don't receive an email notification from the bot when my server becomes "problematic" e.g. when CPU is above 90%.

    I have checked the settings and talked with support, without luck.

    Please consider making this service available. Thanks.

  12. Automatic database (only) backups

    Backups can be heavy (GB). Sometimes you need to access the backup of one databse quickly because you need to retrieve data from 1 of the table. Currently there is no way to do this unless you downlaod the entire backup which can take a long time. I would like to request for scheduled backups of the database (separately) for convenient download and manual manipulation.

  13. Allow for near instant staging branches

    A few systems we have used now allow for instant cloning of prod branches. postgres.ai and upsun.com both do this. The trick is to back the prod filesystem/db with ZFS or another filesystem that does copy-on-write which allows for whats kind of a "fork" operation where you can shallow copy a directory, it only tracks the differences. This is insanely usefull as we use it to clone a 20GB DB in like < 2s, run some tests against it, then destroy the db. You could totally the same.

  14. Backup & Restore of the Production accessible from the Staging to be able to better debug some upgrades that encounter problems

    Problem & Solution: Sometimes upgrades have issues in WordPress. Being able to better diagnose the problems, and having access to backups & restores in the staging area would significantly increase the user's ability to self-diagnose these problems and would also reduce customer service time to manage these clients.

  15. Enable custom email in application admin username

    When we create a new application, the system uses the same email as used when we signed up fro a Cloudways account.

    I would like to suggest to have the option to set 2 or more emails in your account e.g.

    • a generic email for invoices and generic account stuff
    • an email that will be used as the amin username when creating a new application
    • maybe even an email that will receive all server/application related notifications from the platform e.g. when a server is having issues.

  19. Update your outdated migration videos and information.

    You are not showing the updated process for migrating. This makes me concerned that most of your info is outdated. Not a good first impression. I am looking at other hosting companies that are mindful of that.

  20. Easy automated way of regularly exporting server-wide backups

    We want a way to automatically export backups of all applications to a 3rd party location of our choosing. Currently to do this we'd need to write our own export scripts that run for each application on a server. A unified way of doing this that integrates with different services like AWS S3, Glacier, other cloud storage providers would be very helpful.

    This way we can keep our own external backups for all applications without the need to manually setup our own solution each time we added an application to a server.
