Plesk with Centralized Database and Network File System

Plesk with Centralized Database and Network File System – Plesk

Many times we were asked to implement support for centralized database (DB) and file storage. Which is understandable because these two features open up many convenient hosting-building scenarios that were previously unavailable or could be created only at your own risk. And also because the fewer single points of failure (SPOF) you have, the more resistant you are to faulting the solution. However, since the release of Plesk Obsidian 18.0.49, using centralized DB (as Beta) and Network File System (NFS) has become possible. Let’s find out what you can do with each of these features.

Please note if you are interested only in the centralized database feature, you can go directly to the ‘Shared or Centralized Database‘ section. However, if you want to locate vhosts files on NFS, you can skip the information about databases and start from the ‘Network File System‘ section. There is no requirement to configure these features together – each can work as a stand-alone feature if you want.
