Scroll down until you get to the first line “clone” in it, the docker\_manager one.
type `control-K` to kill (cut) the docker manager line, then `control-u` twice to paste it back in twice. (Spacing is very important, so copying and editing a line that you know works is a good precaution).
Then, on the second line, delete the docker\_manager URL and add the URL for the solved plugin.
Then `control-X` to exit and `./launcher rebuild app`.
