Can Plugins Be Added To Basic Docker Install

[jaspervaz]

Hi, I’m wondering if I install Discourse onto Digital Ocean with the basic docker guide (the install in under 30 minutes one), will I be able to easily add plugins? Or am I limited to just what the docker image has set up?

Thanks!
Jasper

Yes, you can add all the plugins you want.

Install a Plugin

So you want to install a plugin on your Discourse instance? Great, let’s get started! In this tutorial, we’ll install Discourse Spoiler Alert plugin. Get the plugin’s GitHub or Bitbucket git clone url. Add the plugin’s repository url to your container’s app.yml file: hooks: after_code: - exec: cd: $home/plugins cmd: - mkdir -p plugins - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/…

Excellent, thank you!

Word of caution. A lot of the older ones are now broken, I strongly recommend you test them in dev before installing them on your live site.
