To utilize plugins that have been created by users within the [NetBox Community](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/wiki/Plugins) a custom Docker image must be created.

2. If required, **change** the `/env/netbox.env` file to your required settings.
3. In the **root of the new folder**, **create** the following files (leave them blank): `plugin_requirements.txt` `Dockerfile-Plugins` `docker-compose.override.yml`

## Step 2 - Modify New Files
### `plugin_requirements.txt`
This file contains a list of the NetBox Plugins (as **PyPi Python Packages**) to be installed during the building of the Docker image.
For Example:
```
netbox-topology-views==3.6.0b2
netbox-validity
netbox-acls
netbox-secretstore
```
## `Dockerfile-Plugins`
### `Dockerfile-Plugins`
This is the Dockerfile used to build the custom Image.
Put the following contents into that file.
```Dockerfile
FROM netboxcommunity/netbox:latest
COPY ./plugin_requirements.txt /
RUN /opt/netbox/venv/bin/pip install --no-warn-script-location -r /plugin_requirements.txt
COPY ./plugin_requirements.txt /opt/netbox/
RUN /opt/netbox/venv/bin/pip install --no-warn-script-location -r /opt/netbox/plugin_requirements.txt
# These lines are only required if your plugin has its own static files.
COPY configuration/configuration.py /etc/netbox/config/configuration.py
COPY configuration/plugins.py /etc/netbox/config/plugins.py
RUN SECRET_KEY="dummydummydummydummydummydummydummydummydummydummy" /opt/netbox/venv/bin/python /opt/netbox/netbox/manage.py collectstatic --no-input
```
The `SECRET_KEY` does not need to be changed.
> NOTE: This `SECRET_KEY` is only used during the installation. There's no need to change it.
## `docker-compose.override.yml`
### `docker-compose.override.yml`
As its name implies, this file can contain configuration overrides for `docker-compose.yml`
The absolute most basic configuration that you need is as follows. This tells our NetBox Worker and NetBox Housekeeping services to use our new custom image, `Dockerfile-Plugins`

## Step 3 - Enable plugins in the configuration
# Step 3 - Build and Deploy!
To get plugins to work within NetBox you need to add some configuration to `configuration/plugins.py`.
```python
PLUGINS = ["netbox_secretstore"]
# PLUGINS_CONFIG = {
# "netbox_secretstore": {
# ADD YOUR SETTINGS HERE
# }
# }
```
> NOTE: This can differ for every plugin. To learn more about this see the [NetBox documentation](https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins/#enable-the-plugin).
## Step 4 - Build and Deploy!
Once you've prepared the new Docker Image, now it's time to build it.
