Hi,
whenever I activate a plugin, the site thows a 500, leading me to have to deactivate the plugin again.
/logs shows: ActionView::Template::Error (The asset ‘plugins/discourse-translator.js’ was not found in the load path.) lib/freedom_patches/propshaft_patches.rb:16:in ‘compute_asset_path’ app/helpers/application_he

This happens with:
- GitHub - communiteq/discourse-scheduled-readonly
- GitHub - communiteq/discourse-prevent-posting
- GitHub - discourse/discourse-translator
some old community plugins failing would lead me to believe them being too old, but the discourse-translator failing leads more to a problem of plugins and assets being “wrong”. These plugins are the only non-preinstalled plugins, so it’s a general “I cannot install plugins” problem.
I tagged as unsupported-install, as I use the discourse/discourse:2026.1.1 (esr) docker image, which works perfectly but with this plugin issue. I did mount a docker volume to the plugins-directory (- plugins:/var/www/discourse/plugins). I installed plugins via rake plugin:install[https://github.com/…]
The error message tells me about a missing asset, which is actually there (see below). Maybe there is a rake-command missing?
I did a rake db:migrate (none of the plugins have extra tables) and did rake assets:precompile(which is also done on container restart, which was done multiple times already). logs show discourse-translator and discourse-prevent-posting get precompiled, the scheduled-readonly does not as it has no assets (but still fails because its .js is not found in the assets load-path?)
Below shows that discourse-translator was precompiled and should be in the right places, I think? Any pointers towards what I can look at next?
