Hey All - and thanks for any help in advance.

Im trying to install this plugin into kibana in docker: [https://github.com/dlumbrer/kbn\_network](https://github.com/dlumbrer/kbn_network)

my version is 7.7.1 which should work based on the docs. After copying from "kibana-plugins" I have tried using the command argument in my yaml file:

```
volumes:
  - ./config/kibana.yml:/usr/share/kibana/config/kibana.yml:ro
  - ./config/kibana-plugins:/usr/share/kibana/plugins:ro

command: sh -c './bin/kibana-plugin install file:///usr/share/kibana/plugins/network_vis-7.zip

```

i've also tried with a direct link to github but it always says "ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir"

I've also tried creating a dockerfile but im not sure im doing this right? how would i invoke this to install into an existing image?

```
FROM docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:7.7.1

    USER root
    RUN yum install git -y

    USER kibana
    RUN curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash && . ~/.nvm/nvm.sh && nvm install node && cd /usr/share/kibana/plugins && git clone https://github.com/dlumbrer/kbn_network.git network_vis -b 7-dev && cd network_vis && rm -rf images/ && npm install

```

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @twright8

I could run that plugin on `7.5.2` but not on `7.7.1` or `7.8.0`.

I only had to mount the unzipped folder inside the `/usr/share/kibana/plugins/network_vis`. Check out the full configuration on this [gist](https://gist.github.com/jsanz/722c8b8f41d271efe63ffa877addc989) .

```
  kibana:
    image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:7.5.2
    container_name: kibana
    ports:
      - 5601:5601
    volumes:
      - ./kibana.yml:/usr/share/kibana/config/kibana.yml
      - ./network_vis:/usr/share/kibana/plugins/network_vis
    networks: 
      - esnet
    depends_on:
      - elasticsearch

```

You may want to open a ticket in this plugin repo to check with the author what could be missing to prevent it running on recent versions of Kibana.
