etherpad-lite: Can't install plugins

I installed the latest docker etherpad/etherpad and I am unable to install plugins. When I select to install one, I get the notification of installing at the top but it never installs. If I refresh, the list is empty. No error message whatsoever.

OK, so if I understand well, downloading plugins with the latest version still doesn’t works, does it? Which means we shouldn’t close this ticket as the problem is not resolved.

Update: Installing plugins with npm install --no-save --legacy-peer-deps ep_$plugin breaks the installation completely.

Maybe duplicate of bug #5609.

hello,

same here, unable to install from web admin interface.

Moreover, here is my Dockerfile, may be i missed something, i thought it was possible to load plugins from Dockerfile.

cat Dockerfile
FROM etherpad/etherpad:1.8.18
ARG ETHERPAD_PLUGINS="ep_headings2"

bug logs show ep_headings2 isn’t installed.

thank you and regards,
