Another issue I've noticed is the File Manager won't load if the users direcetory is quite large (150gb in this case). Deleted a load of files and dropped it to 13gb and it works fine.
This should help: https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=678
It did the trick for me.
That looks like it should solve the issue. Will give it a go, cheers.
Sorry, I see I forgot to answer this
https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=2582 available in pre-release.
Hey Bud, any possibility of listing all the configs and settings in one page ? Maybe one for stable and one for prerelease? Googling is easy but also super time consumin.
I sent a note to Mark the other day that they really need to work to get a
Tweak Settingslike section in the admin side (flesh out theAdministration Settingspart) to basically include all of the options possible.DA has a mountain of features that are all CLI based so people don't see it.
If they gave UI options to everything people would see it being a lot closer to cPanel, like it is.
EDIT - I also see no reason to have
sslbe off by default.ssl=1should be the new default and during installation they should check if the hostname is valid and try to automagically assign it an LE SSL.If it isn't already an option they should make it so whenever a domain is added it tries to get an LE SSL for it. If the SSL assignment fails, still add the domain but send a message to the user documenting the failure.

CLI is still fine. Just having a page where I can find all my required settings/config vs trying to scout through loads of forum posts and changelog is really inconvinient. Specially for a panel, that is evolving really fast.
It isn't fine when the 2 biggest complaints about the panel are:
DA is pretty feature rich. Thing is, basic things like SSL are either disabled by default or require manual adjusting in
directadmin.conf.Maybe they've added a UI toggle for SSL but I know that when I provisioned some new nodes this week I was enabling it by command line and having to manually assign an SSL.
Another easy one. When the user changes the servers hostname, try to issue a new SSL.
There's just a lot of simple actions that would save time and make the panel feel more complete.
Francisco
Agreed. It does require extra steps for many simple changes. But they grew a lot.
Absolutely.
Compared to what it was at the start of the year prior to evolution to now is night and day
Francisco
cPanel doesn't do that.
I for one use Cloudflare and set the DNS only after everything has been set up (migrated). So before that, SSL won't be possible to be set up (it will fail). Resulting in a needless, futile attempt and (a rather small) resource waste (just like most of my posts and sexual experiences
).
File manager is not intuitive enough - for copy/paste and move operations for example.
Also, I had it happen once that Clipboard options were not present, even though clipboard wasn't empty (looked like a bug). Couldn't reproduce it twice. Did this happen to anyone else?
Set up an account for a friend who's experienced with cPanel. He was at it for a few days and had a strong preference for what he was used to (cPanel). This was just honest, no-bullshit feedback. I suppose most people are used to cPanel and that most people fear what they are not familiar with. Not sure how to change the design to help with that, unfortunately.
Brute force protection. Direct admin moniter brute force logins but it does not block ips.
Given they ship with CSF now i think it'd be a good call to auto include the ipban script that's on the forums.
Francisco
Does directadmin provide brute force protection out of box?
The one thing I hate about the file manager is not being able to simply move files. Without having to copy them to clipboard and then finding the folder for it to error and say fuck you. Then having to do it all over again.
I...think so?
On Buyshared we have SSH on a different port and fail2ban handling basically everything else.
Francisco
^ As said before CSF should be configured to handle brute force, with no need for the additional admin of fail2ban. CSF handles additional log monitoring, if needs be, and we just need a DirectAdmin specific regex to detect the brute force login.
That script is full of bad assumptions (not just ssh port) and tries to tackle methods that are already a part of CSF.
I am using plesk . In plesk you can change webserver from apache to nignx easily . you can also make one domain work on apache while other domain work on nginx . I hope directadmin will add this feature
I have a question too
does directadmin allow you to change php configurations without need to CLI ?
Best regards
Yes.
You can't use an admin@ email on your main domain because it uses it for the Admin user.
Pre-release now includes:
Those are available on https://demo.directadmin.com:2222 too. We'll be looking forward for the suggestions/feedback
Happy New Year!!!
You may just create a new user with that domain name and you'll be able to create it then. Or just use default admin@ mailbox for this purpose if you'd like admin to be the owner of that domain.
Those Modern/Flat icons look good!
Looks great
Francisco
I noticed the patch going through for phpmyadmin (and BFM) on the latest update.
No progress on leveraging CSF instead.
They've added our path to their default codebase for login failure detection
Newest version of CustomBuild shouldn't show any warnings, in addition to this - phpMyAdmin 5.0 is now supported.
Regarding CSF - in the list, no ETA at this moment though. Versions entry: https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=2617
Thank you for the feedback.
https://docs.directadmin.dev is ready for the first feedback
It doesn't have a lot of threads at the moment, but we'll keep filling the latest/updated data there. Suggestions are welcome. Thank you!
Layout looks a bit messed up on Chrome: https://imgur.com/a/NUAZuGF
If it helps, my laptop screen's resolution is 1920x1080 with 125% scaling. Running Chrome Version 79.0.3945.88 (Official Build) (64-bit).
The docs structure look great, everything's all in one easy-to-navigate site.
Not quite! Getting Started section links to old docs.
Still it's progress. :-)
Yes, because not all the articles have been migrated yet
There won't be any help.directadmin.com URLs there in the future.
