  1. Officially support running nodejs as an app user.

    I've chatted with support and they told me you must run NPM and nodejs as a master user. This requirement makes per-app security impossible.

  2. Support multiple nodejs versions like v6, v7 and v8

    I recommend you use NVM, so that we can install and select whichever version of Node we want. This would also help with permission issues.

  3. Support npm install --global

    Right now, it throws a permission error. This is helpful for tools like gulp.

  4. Enable Brotli compression alghoritm on all Cloudways servers.

  5. Please enable NPM in SSH when we are using application SSH user

    Currently, application SSH user does not have such permissions to run NPM via ssh. But this feature should be available

  7. Improve cloning process

    On cloning an application, optionally allow me to specify the target url and a checkbox to specify that I want an SSL certificate installed.

    This would greatly help improve the process to get that cloned server up and running much quicker.

    Thanks!

  8. support naming application folders and databases arbitrarily

    The current scheme is absolutely impossible to remember. Even when renaming folders, the randomly selected name remains as the new name is a link.

    That means this would have to be asked for before anything has been set up.

    Usually I want to name the folder and database to the (sub)domain or the actual application name. What's easier to remember than that?

    Support at least letters, digits, "-", "_", ".", unless restricted by the database engine in question.

  9. More servers located in Brazil!

    The only server located in Brazil is from Amazon. The value is too high for more common applications. Please, we urgently need more servers in Brazil regardless of the provider.

  10. automatic restart when server goes down

    I think it's essential that the servers are fixed so that if they go down they automatically restart the server especially on digital ocean + vultr

    A few times I've had the site receive a traffic spike out of the ordinary and it pulled my sites down until I manually rebooted it. It should be automatic.

  11. Allow SSH2 on your servers

    I want to use a simple application that requires SSH2, and this is not compatible with your server configuration for some reason.

  14. 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.

  17. Add more file types on database import

    I found myself in a position where I had a huge table locally and wanted to import it on my database.

    CSV file ~30mb
    SQL file ~200mb

    Unfortunately, we can only import tables from sql files. Would love to see different file types like CSV, JSON, XML

  19. Exclude HTML from Nginx static cache

    Currently HTML is included in the static cache of nginx.
    This results in pushing an expires 30 days header on html content request and ignoring htaccess directives.

    This is particulary dangerous, since there is no way to purge that cache unless the expiration on nginx is set to 0 for all assets.

  20. Allow changing Varnish config file (VCL) after application setup

    A dropdown with options next to the "Varnish Toggle" button allowing us to choose which VCL is configured with this application would allow us flexibility to change our stack without having to create a whole new application and reconfigure ours.
