Best way to auto-load a custom plugin on a hosted version

[lcetinsoy]

Hello everyone !

First thank your for your work.
I have developped a custom plugin that I used to add on an hosted version of drawio (using the docker image).

There are unfortunatly two drawbacks :

• you have to manually add the plugin from the menu
• this methods no longer works due to content policy issue (my draw io is not served from the same subdomaine as the plugin file)

I would like to build a drawio docker image where my plugin is load by default.

I plan on doing the following :

1. fork the drawio repository and add the plugin file in "src/main/webapp/plugins"
2. tell drawio to load my plugin
3. fork the https://github.com/jgraph/docker-drawio and tell it to use the fork of drawio to build the docker image
4. push the docker image to a registry and use it

Would that be correct / optimal ?
I am not sure on how to do step 2

Thanks for your help in advance !

In case I manage to do it, I'd be happy to do a documentation PR or edit the wiki so that other people can do it them selves

Best regards and happy new year !

You could try using the preconfig.js to define a configuration that sets your plugin to load by default. See "plugins".

Hi Laurent, I recently did very similar thing on the hosted app not the docker version.
Anyway, I added my custom plugins in the App.pluginRegistry and then I used the 'p' parameter to activate 'on-the-fly' my two plugins
I hope this can help you in some way
