NodeBB plugin is active but not installed

nullpointer

I recently deployed my NodeBB in a docker container, and install the plugin locally by copying my plugin into node_modules directory.
When I started the NodeBB server, I got this message:

2023-01-24T08:59:05.922Z [4567/181] - warn: [plugins] "nodebb-plugin-my-plugin" is active but not installed.

This is my Dockerfile content:

FROM node:16.14.0

RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app &&  chown -R node:node /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
RUN apt-get install git

ARG NODE_ENV

RUN npm install --only=prod && npm cache clean --force
RUN git clone https://bitbucket.org/dev/nodebb-plugin-my-plugin.git
RUN cp -r nodebb-plugin-my-plugin node_modules/

ENV NODE_ENV=production \
    daemon=false \
    silent=false

EXPOSE 4567

USER root
RUN chown root:root ./ -R

CMD node ./nodebb activate nodebb-plugin-my-plugin; node ./nodebb build; node ./nodebb start -l

The plugin was successfully installed when I run it without docker container.
Please give me some suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Can you take a look at the runtime logs (sorry, I'm not fluent with Docker) and see what happens at the CMD node ./nodebb activate nodebb-plugin-my-plugin; node ./nodebb build; node ./nodebb start -l step?

It sounds like maybe when ./nodebb start -l is run, NodeBB is doing another dependency install, which can happen if it detects some dependencies as out of date. That would effectively clobber your plugin that was copied into node_modules/
