Hi! I’m trying to install plugins but when i rebuild the app it looks like they aren’t being even acknowledged. The app compiles properly but not plugins whatsoever. I have a default discourse installation on my own server. What are the most obvious things to check? Thank you

That’s a badly formed app.yml For a start, hooks should not have any spaces in front of it! (it is not a subsection of volumes) The issue appears to begin at the comment line above.

It would help to know which plugins you’re attempting to install, too.

And perhaps show the plugins in the app.yml.

Unfortunately not appearing in admin. This is the app.yml: ## The Docker container is stateless; all data is stored in /shared volumes: - volume: host: /var/discourse/shared/standalone guest: /shared - volume: host: /var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/var-log guest: /var/log ## Plugins go here ## see https://meta.discourse.org/t/19157 for details hooks: after_code: - exec: cd: $home/plugins cmd: - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-spoiler-alert.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-animated-avatars.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-whos-online.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-data-explorer.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-bbcode.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-signatures.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-reactions.git - git clone https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-legal-tools.git - git clone https://github.com/theCrius/discourse-ngi-emojis.git ## Any custom commands to run after building run: - exec: echo "Beginning of custom commands" ## If you want to set the 'From' email address for your first registration, uncomment and change: ## After getting the first signup email, re-comment the line. It only needs to run once. #- exec: rails r "SiteSetting.notification_email='info@unconfigured.discourse.org'" - exec: echo "End of custom commands"

Wow ok, i didn’t know it was tab sensitive. thank you!
