Usage: docker plugin create [OPTIONS] PLUGIN[:tag] PATH-TO-ROOTFS(rootfs + config.json)
Create a plugin from a rootfs and configuration
Options:

[the config.json](../../extend/config.md)
The following example shows how to create a sample `plugin`.
```bash
$ ls -ls /home/pluginDir
4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 431 Nov 7 01:40 config.json
0 drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 420 Nov 7 01:40 rootfs
$ docker plugin create plugin /home/pluginDir
plugin
NAME TAG DESCRIPTION ENABLED

```
The plugin can subsequently be enabled for local use or pushed to the public registry.
