Instructions on how to use plugin from local source code

[sebbegg]

Describe Your Problem: I'm trying to test a plugin that I have forked and modified locally. I'd obviously like to include that in the docker image. I'm not totally familiar with npm and especially how that's handled in homebridge with plugins, so I hope this isn't something obvious.

Are there instructions as to what the recommended procedure is?

FROM oznu/homebridge:latest

ADD . /hmip/  # add local clone of https://github.com/thkl/homebridge-homematic
RUN npm install /hmip && \
    npm list

I also played with some alternative dockerfiles using npm link or a npm install -g /hmip. In none of my tests I managed to get my modified code running in homebridge.

I'm guessing that maybe the startup procedure that installs plugins overwrites the locally installed version?
