2. Add the docker-compose.yml file to directory - updating the plugin folder name if needed.

3. copy your plugin folder into that directory.

4. Start the container

docker-compose up -d

docker exec {container name} "bash"
chown -R www-data.www-data /var/www/html/wp-content

file: docker-compose.yml

version: '3.1'
