@Andrew_Byrne You can update or add a plugin by getting into your docker container by using the `docker exec -it {containerid} /bin/bash` once you in cd to the plugins dir and you can do git commands here to update or add a new plugin. once you have done this you just need to restart the rails process that is running the app. Hope this helps you out.
