This is how the plugins are installed from `app.yml`

```plaintext
hooks:
  after_code:
    - exec:
        cd: $home/plugins
        cmd:
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-solved.git
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-chat-integration.git

```

There was an extra `mkdir plugins` as the first command, that’s why the (empty) `plugins` folder existed. I removed that leftover from the past years…

The folder for the packages installed as per the `app.yml` above all have a `.git` foler inside.

Coming back to listing the remote URLs… as `discourse` user:

```plaintext
discourse@ocean-app:/var/www/discourse/plugins$ for d in *; do echo "$d: $(git -C $d config --get remote.origin.url)"; done
chat:
discourse-chat-integration: https://github.com/discourse/discourse-chat-integration.git
discourse-details:
discourse-lazy-videos:
discourse-local-dates:
discourse-narrative-bot:
discourse-presence:
discourse-solved: https://github.com/discourse/discourse-solved.git
docker_manager: https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
poll:
styleguide:

```

As `root` user:

```plaintext
root@ocean-app:/var/www/discourse/plugins# for d in *; do echo "$d: $(git -C $d config --get remote.origin.url)"; done
chat: https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git
discourse-chat-integration:
discourse-details: https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git
discourse-lazy-videos: https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git
discourse-local-dates: https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git
discourse-narrative-bot: https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git
discourse-presence: https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git
discourse-solved:
docker_manager: https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
poll: https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git
styleguide: https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git

```

My guess: permissions are totally borked. Is this looking correct (inside the container)?

```

What is the expected ownership/permissions setup?
