Difficulty Setting Up Plugins for Auto-GPT in Docker on Arch Linux

[Kozyge]

I am experiencing difficulty in setting up plugins for Auto-GPT when running it through Docker on my Arch Linux system. Despite following existing documentation and related issue threads, I haven't been successful in getting the plugins to work. Environment

Operating System: Arch Linux
Docker Version: Docker version 24.0.6

Steps to Reproduce

I read through the issue #185 on the Auto-GPT-Plugins repository but found that none of the resolutions there helped. I attempted to integrate plugins with Auto-GPT using the following method:

Edited my docker-compose.yaml file as follows:

version: "3.9"
services:
  auto-gpt:
    image: significantgravitas/auto-gpt
    env_file:
      - .env
    profiles: ["exclude-from-up"]
    volumes:
      - ./auto_gpt_workspace:/app/auto_gpt_workspace
      - ./data:/app/data
      - ./logs:/app/logs
      - ./plugins:/app/plugins

Ran the command mkdir ./plugins && curl -L -o ./plugins/Auto-GPT-Plugins.zip https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/Auto-GPT-Plugins/archive/refs/heads/master.zip in the directory to fetch and unzip the plugin.

I extracted the contents of Auto-GPT-Plugins.zip into the ./plugins directory. Created a plugins_config.yaml in the appropriate directory.

Expected Behavior

I expected that after setting up the plugins directory and the plugins_config.yaml, Auto-GPT would recognize and load the plugins upon startup. Actual Behavior

The application does not seem to recognize or load the plugins_config.yaml. It behaves as if the plugin configuration file is not present. Additional Context

I have checked the permissions of the plugins_config.yaml to ensure it's readable.
There are no apparent error messages related to plugin loading in the logs.
I tried restarting Docker and re-running the setup steps.

It sounds like you've followed the necessary steps, but the plugins still aren't being recognized. Here is a suggestion might solve the issue:

• Ensure that the plugins_config.yaml is correctly bound within your Docker volume configuration. You mentioned creating a plugins_config.yaml but didn't specify if you've added it to your docker-compose.yaml. Here's how you can bind it:

  volumes:
  - ./plugins_config.yaml:/app/plugins_config.yaml:ro

  Make sure that the file path on the left correctly points to where your plugins_config.yaml is located on your host machine.

*. After making these changes, remember to restart Docker to ensure that the new volume bindings take effect:

docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d

If you continue to face issues, please check the application logs for any plugin-related error messages, as they can provide more insight into what might be going wrong.
