[2.2.4 docker-compose] is unable to pass ETHERPAD_LOCAL_PLUGINS via ARG during build and runtime

[bharath-naik]

Description I am trying to pass local plugins to Etherpad-Lite using the ETHERPAD_LOCAL_PLUGINS argument in the docker-compose.yml file, but the plugins are not being installed correctly during the Docker build process.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• I am using Etherpad-Lite 2.2.4
• At the same home location, i have my customPlugins folder.
• Not changed anything much related to plugin installation in the Dockefile
• Below is my modified docker-compose.yml file:

  
  services:
  etherpad-2.4:
    build:
      context: ../etherpad-lite-2.2.4/
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
      args:
        ETHERPAD_LOCAL_PLUGINS: "../customPlugins/ep_headings3 ../customPlugins/ep_align"
    tty: true

Expected behavior The local plugins from ../customPlugins/ep_headings3 and ../customPlugins/ep_align should be installed during the build process via pnpm or should be loaded during docker-compose run time.

Server (please complete the following information): Etherpad version: 2.2.2 OS: Ubuntu 22 Node.js version (22): npm version (10.8): pnpm version (9.9.0) Is the server free of plugins: yes

Unfortunately Docker does not allow to map a directory at build time. Please try to use COPY ../customPlugins/ep_headings3 ../customPlugins/ep_align in your Dockerfile
