This plugin is designed to make it extremely easy to install new plugins _without_ logging into the server. It adds a screen under `/admin/plugins/procourse-installer` that looks like this:

From there, you can enter the URL (with or without `.git`) of the plugin git repo and click Install Plugin. Wait a few minutes (about 5 minutes) for the installation to complete and you’re good to go.

To see all the plugins you’ve installed through the installer or to remove a plugin, just go to Installed Plugins.

A few notes:

- These plugins DO remain after a rebuild or bootstrap of `app` or `web_only`.

- It is currently untested on multisite instances and will likely fail in those scenarios as the plugin needs access to the `/plugins` directory of the application in order to function.

- The plugins installed WILL show up under `/admin/plugins`.

- You CAN upgrade these plugins as normal from `/admin/upgrade`.

- In the process of building this, we found a potential error when removing translations from plugins. It can cause the site to show an error if the user visits a page where the translation is used. This seems to happen even if you use `admin/upgrade` to upgrade a specific plugin and the plugin has removed a translation. We’re working on finding a solution to this currently.

Requirements:

- You must be running a **supported Docker install**.

- The **Docker Manager plugin** must be installed.

- Access to `/admin/upgrade`.
