  1. Run gulp on CW servers

    So i talked to 2 support employees today, both with the same outcome: "Today it is not possible to run gulp on cloudways."

    1. You can't install gulp globally, since cloudways won't allow global npm install.
    2. You can't run gulp locally, because this will give you some permission denied.

    The weirdest thing of all... Gulp is necessary to use Elixir on Laravel 5.x. The have pre-installed laravel applications, but you can't use the elixir function. Wtf?!

  2. Add more locations

    Please offer all the locations, and not just a select group, for each of your providers. For example, I -- and my customers -- are in Texas, so the Vultr datacenter in Dallas would make a great deal of sense; but you don't offer it. Similar limitations exist for your other providers. If they have a location, please offer it, too.

  3. give permission to application ssh user to create his own ssh key

    1. create an app on any server
    2. add ssh user to app
    3. activate ssh access for app
    4. log in as ssh user created
    5. try to do ssh-keygen

    The user can't write to ~/.ssh which is a problem.
    I can't give a partner en environment with git enabled to push / pull from a remote origin.

    Only work around now is to fire up a new server instance or give everyone master credentials.

  6. add option to specify swap file size

    Normally the swap file size is configured for optimal performance of the server. However there are times that you need a little more memory even at the cost of lower performance (especially if that need is temporary and circumstancial). In these cases it would be useful to be able to change the swap file size (within reasonable limits).

    One such case occurred to me when I tried to use composer on a magento 2 app, on a 1GB server. 1GB RAM + 256MB swap is simply not enough for composer to run successfully. The only option is to move to…

  9. Give PROCESS access to the DB for performance monitoring

    Having PROCESS access to the Database will allow for us to use monitoring tools so that we can better determine what tuning needs to be done on the DB server would be extremely helpful.

  10. Static cache expiry set by file type

    It would be nice to have the possibility to set different cache expiry limits for different file types. At least images, CSS and JS

  11. Allow changing Wordpress admin credentials and make default password stronger

    Admin Area Access credentials for Wordpress are not correct when cloning a website. This causes confusion on what the correct password is. Also, when adding an application, the default password created for wordpress credentials are rather weak. Would like ability to set more secure password and also change/sync a password with Admin Area Access details so that this information could be shared among admin staff.

  12. Allow Server Master Credentials to access all MySQL databases.

    Having a single user account that can access all the databases under a given server would simplify administration. The Server Master Credentials seems like a logical choice.

    Currently I open an SSH tunnel for database access and it would be great if the same tunnel credentials could also connect to the databases.

  13. Update application Layout

    Update the application list to cards or smaller, I can only see 5 apps before the fold on my screen, would be better to have a grid of apps.

  14. Add tmux to terminal

    Would be nice to have a tmux sessions to use one connection to a server. This will become more popular when you add the load balancing some of infrastructures may hide child nodes from internet, but use the internal network instead

  15. Allow customers to create database users

    When having Master Credentials you con go to the MySQL Manager and create a user, but when you want to save you get:
    "Access denied; you need (at least one of) the CREATE USER privilege(s) for this operation"
    You should allow permissons for Master Credentials to creat DB users

  16. Provide "strace" utility.

    This unix utility ("strace" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strace) is of great help, in finding out, what an apparently hung process is doing. It is required for master users, to do self-administration of their servers/processes.

  17. Enable Cloudways Migrator to include migration from local host (PC) etc

    The CW migration plugin won't allow migration from local host. I understand Cloudways is used for production purposes but some people still like to develop on localhost PC etc. It would be advantageous if this restriction was fixed.

  18. Configure Cloudways Magento Stack to point to corret tmp folder

    After installation, magento tmp folder is not configured, so it's use /tmp by default. It's cause problems with magento store cloned in the same server.

    You need to configure the file lib/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php, in the line who says

    protected $options = array(
    'cache
    dir' => null

    to

    protected $options = array(
    'cache
    dir' => '../tmp'

  19. Enable Encrypted RDS MySQL Database

    Enabling Encrypted MySQL Database on Amazon AWS would enable encryption at rest and improve security.

    This would be a truly unique offering (trust me, I have been researching this for days), one that I can't believe isn't more requested or offered given the hacks and breaches we have seen over the last few years.

  20. Percona DB (for performance)

    Percona DB would be a nice addition to the packages available on Cloudways (if you care about performance).

    What You Need to Know About the MariaDB & Percona Forks of MySQL
    https://blog.appdynamics.com/database/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-mariadb-percona-forks-of-mysql/

    TL,DR summary: MariaDB is better for advanced features, the latest security and adapting to new tech. Percona excels at database performance and diagnostics. Either one will put you in good company with cutting edge technology firms around the world.
