3rd party plugins in plugins.local not picked up

[Grienauer]

Modules which are put into the predefined folder plugins.local are not available in the UI over at https://DOMAIN/prefs.php.
Also a restart does not solve the problem.
I tried multiple plugins and put them in a folder like described here
https://git.tt-rss.org/fox/tt-rss/wiki/Plugins and also here https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/tinytinyrss/ but they are not showing up.
what could be wrong? a wrong symlink or setting I need to activate? have not found anything in the docu, so I think it is a cloudron "issue"
thank you!

I checked my instance and it seems I uploaded custom plugins to /app/data/plugins, not plugins.local. Not sure why, but try that.

Thx for the info.

I want to install Performance Audit. This module is a Marketplace Module. If I click/install it, it will be put under /plugins as you said.
If I move it to a newly created plugins.local, the system will not recognize. not in the marketplace section, that is can be used or in the plugins section.
maybe there is a matomo/cloudron folder mapping issue?

Do you mean TTRSS? Try manually adding the plugin to the /plugins folder, potentially restart the app and see if that works.

@thetomester13 hey sorry… I answered in the wrong thread… my fault!
but I tested it again…
I added multiple modules and tried multiple locations. Restarted the app, but one of them are showing inup in the preference settings over at https://CLOUDRON/prefs.php
I added them in plugins and plugins.local but no success
I changed the folder name to "package nme or let it stay like it came from git…
no success…

@grienauer does your File Manager look something like this? (Note the directory hierarchy)

Be sure that the plug in actually works and can work on a regular instance to verify that it's the app itself. Besides that I'm not really sure what to say do your logs say anything fishy?

@thetomester13

this is inside of tinyrss…
be aware, that the plugins.local was from me. but I tested both folders…

this is the default plugins folder

and here the .local one

please be aware, that I tested naming schemes also tho check if this is the issue…
in both folders and also after a restart, no new plugins are visible in the preferences.
thx!

@grienauer were you able to test this plugin on a local version of TTRSS? I know that's not always an option for non-technical people though. This is the plugin that is working for me in the /app/data/plugins directory - can you try that and see if it works? If it does, there might be something wrong with your plugins themselves.

@thetomester13 thx for the help!
I tested your plugin and it worked and is visible under preferences… thx for the hint/proof… now I know that at least the plugin folder/mapping works!
