OK. The [canonical how to install a plugin topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-a-plugin/19157) (@erlend_sh you want to make it a wiki) and the sample yml files in discourse\_docker would be good places to start.

I’ll aim to update discourse\_docker stuff next time I have reason to touch it.
