Docker discovers plugins by looking for them in the plugin directory whenever a
user or container tries to use one by name.
There are two types of files which can be put in the plugin directory.
There are three types of files which can be put in the plugin directory.
* `.sock` files are UNIX domain sockets.
* `.spec` files are text files containing a URL, such as `unix:///other.sock`.
* `.json` files are text files containing a full json specification for the plugin.
The name of the file (excluding the extension) determines the plugin name.
For example, the `flocker` plugin might create a UNIX socket at
`/usr/share/docker/plugins/flocker.sock`.
Plugins must be run locally on the same machine as the Docker daemon. UNIX
domain sockets are strongly encouraged for security reasons.
### JSON specification
This is the JSON format for a plugin:
```json
{
"Name": "plugin-example",
"Addr": "https://example.com/docker/plugin",
"TLSConfig": {
"InsecureSkipVerify": false,
"CAFile": "/usr/shared/docker/certs/example-ca.pem",
"CertFile": "/usr/shared/docker/certs/example-cert.pem",
"KeyFile": "/usr/shared/docker/certs/example-key.pem",
}
}
```
The `TLSConfig` field is optional and TLS will only be verified if this configuration is present.
