How do I install verdaccio plugins on kubernetes?

[uri-chandler]

question:

I've read the docs on using verdaccio on kubernetes (not using Helm).
I know how to configure verdaccio using the config-map.

But how do I install plugins using kubernetes?
I want to install a gitlab auth plugin..

Thx in adv!

@ujc are you using Docker? Could you describe your environment?

[uri-chandler]

Yes, using Docker as the container engine.

So it's a Kubernetes Node, inside which is a Kubernetes Pod, that runs the Docker container, executing the Verdaccior Docker Image.

I've also set up persistent storage.
Wondering if I should just SSH into the pod, install the plugin, and hope it will persist... do you think that should work?

*Thx for the help in anycase.. really like using Verdaccio (used it in the past on our own server - was awesome!)

Hi @ujc . I'm not a Kubernetes expert, but let me see later on how we can help you with the best approach to install plugins in Docker containers, there is one suggestion never was merged that we might take a look to see whether works or not. #232

I'm glad you like this project 🥇

Just stumbled on this issue, seems like the original PR (#232) was going in the right direction for loading plugins in a Docker/Kubernetes environment.

[juanpicado]

New PR is welcome, I'll be happy to review it asap.

[MichielDeMey]

I'll try to get in a PR today based on the original idea of loading plugins from a separate directory.
