Can I add plugin in the Docker container?

[NeverKnowsTomorrow]

I have run a ethereum-lite-explorer container, and I want to add some plugins or functions as the README file said.

I use docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID/bin/sh to enter the container, and modified the /app/config.json according to the README file, and save it. Then I restarted the container but it doesn't work, no new plugins can be found in the ethereum-lite-explorer page.

I also try to copy the modified /app/config.json to /usr/share/nginx/html/, and restart container, it also doesn't work.

I added the "Show the network name" plugin and "Link to a custom deployment of EthStats" (I have started EthStats by docker ) plugin. None of them can be used.

Need your help, thanks!

This is my ethereum-lite-explorer container that has been installed plugins:

If you are trying to alter the config file directly inside the container, that won't work as the config won't be persisted when the container is restarted. That's how Docker works.

The correct way is to mount that file from the host file system as specified in the readme. Refer to the last example here

Please keep in mind that doing this will also disable the APP_NODE_URL ENV variable from being automatically inserted in the config.json file and you will have to fill it in yourself, under the "nodeUrl" key.

Also make sure you have the latest image locally with: docker pull alethio/ethereum-lite-explorer
