Can't install the plugin in a Grafana Docker container

[ilangleben19]

I'm completely unable to install the plugin in a Grafana 7.0.1 container of Docker. I cloned the repository into the plugins folder and ran all build commands with no errors.

In a Docker shell, when I run grafana-cli plugins ls, I see that the plugin is technically installed, but I don't see it as a Data Source or Plugin option in the Grafana web interface. As an extra test, I added a bit of code to the Go backend which writes a simple message to a text file. Restarting Grafana didn't make the text file appear, but manually calling the executable did make it appear.

What can I do? Is there any other information I can provide that could be of help?

This is a template repository and used when building a backend plugin, see tutorial, but should work anyway. Are you installing plugins using this method?

Check the logs, maybe you've hit by Grafana requires backend plugins to be signed.

Yeah, it was the signing thing. I really hope they plan to add something about signing your plugin to that tutorial page very soon - I wasted easily 6 hours trying to figure it out.

@ilangleben19 yes, we're planning to add that. Thanks
