## Developing a plugin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, there are no CLI commands available to help you develop a plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
This is expected to change in a future release. The manual process for creating
|
|
|
|
|
plugins is described in this section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Plugin location and files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Plugins are stored in `/var/lib/docker/plugins`. The `plugins.json` file lists
|
|
|
|
|
each plugin's configuration, and each plugin is stored in a directory with a
|
|
|
|
|
unique identifier.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
# ls -la /var/lib/docker/plugins
|
|
|
|
|
total 20
|
|
|
|
|
drwx------ 4 root root 4096 Aug 8 18:03 .
|
|
|
|
|
drwx--x--x 12 root root 4096 Aug 8 17:53 ..

|
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Format of plugins.json
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `plugins.json` is an inventory of all installed plugins. This example shows
|
|
|
|
|
a `plugins.json` with a single plugin installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|

### Contents of a plugin directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each directory within `/var/lib/docker/plugins/` contains a `rootfs` directory
|
|
|
|
|
and two JSON files.

This plugin is a volume driver. It requires a `host` network and the

`CAP_SYS_ADMIN` capability. It depends upon the `/go/bin/docker-volume-sshfs`

by looking back at the example above. After a plugin is installed, `config.json`
|

|
|
is read-only, but `plugin-settings.json` is read-write, and includes all runtime
|
|
|
|
|
configuration options for the plugin.

with Docker Engine. This plugin has no runtime parameters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Creating the plugin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Follow these steps to create a plugin:
|
|
|
|
|
A new plugin can be created by running
|
|
|
|
|
`docker plugin create <plugin-name> ./path/to/plugin/data` where the plugin
|
|
|
|
|
data contains a plugin configuration file `config.json` and a root filesystem
|
|
|
|
|
in subdirectory `rootfs`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Choose a name for the plugin. Plugin name uses the same format as images,
|
|
|
|
|
for example: `<repo_name>/<name>`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Create a `rootfs` and export it to `/var/lib/docker/plugins/$id/rootfs`
|
|
|
|
|
using `docker export`. See [The rootfs directory](#the-rootfs-directory) for
|
|
|
|
|
an example of creating a `rootfs`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Create a `config.json` file in `/var/lib/docker/plugins/$id/`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Create a `plugin-settings.json` file if needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Create or add a section to `/var/lib/docker/plugins/plugins.json`. Use
|
|
|
|
|
`<user>/<name>` as “Name” and `$id` as “Id”.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Restart the Docker Engine service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Run `docker plugin ls`.
|
|
|
|
|
* If your plugin is enabled, you can push it to the
|
|
|
|
|
registry.
|
|
|
|
|
* If the plugin is not listed or is disabled, something went wrong.
|
|
|
|
|
Check the daemon logs for errors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. If you are not already logged in, use `docker login` to authenticate against
|
|
|
|
|
the registry so that you can push to it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Run `docker plugin push <repo_name>/<name>` to push the plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The plugin can now be used by any user with access to your registry.
|
|
|
|
|
After that the plugin `<plugin-name>` will show up in `docker plugin ls`.
|
|
|
|
|
Plugins can be pushed to remote registries with
|
|
|
|
|
`docker plugin push <plugin-name>`.
