Manual Installation of MyBB Plugins

This guide describes the process of manually installing MyBB plugins in your Docker-MyBB environment. This can be useful if you want to quickly test plugins or do not wish to execute the Ansible role.

Steps for Manual Installation

  1. Prepare Plugin Files:

    • Download the desired MyBB plugin zip files.

  2. Copy plugin to host:

    • bash scp <plugin> administrator@<server>:/opt/docker/mybb/plugins

  3. Unzip Plugin Files on the Host:

    • Unzip the plugin zip files in the host's plugin directory: 
      unzip /opt/docker/mybb/plugins/<plugin-file>.zip -d /opt/docker/mybb/plugins/
    • Replace <plugin-file>.zip with the name of the plugin zip file.
    • Repeat this step for each plugin.

  4. Access the Docker Container:

    • Open a terminal or SSH session on the server where the Docker container is running.

  5. Copy Unzipped Plugin Files to the Container:

    • Copy the unzipped plugin files from the host directory to the Docker container: 
      docker compose cp /opt/docker/mybb/plugins/<unzipped-plugin-folder> application:/var/www/html/inc/plugins/
    • Replace <unzipped-plugin-folder> with the name of the unzipped plugin folder.

  6. Restart the Container:

    • Execute the following command to restart the MyBB container: 
      docker-compose -p mybb up -d --force-recreate
    • This ensures all changes take effect.

  7. Activate Plugins in the MyBB Admin Panel:

    • Open the MyBB admin panel in your web browser.
    • Navigate to the plugin settings and activate the newly installed plugins.

Important Notes

  • Ensure you use the correct paths and filenames.
  • Do not forget to regularly back up your MyBB database and files before making changes.
  • If encountering issues, refer to the MyBB documentation or specific instructions from the plugin author.
