when a plugin is installed its system name is written under the installedplugins.cfg. when i run the program on a server with docker since i get all the files from github installedplugins.cfg is copied all the time. when this happens all of the configurations made are lost. if i add this file to gitignore when i clone the repo installed plugins file is missing so i cannot debug. i need to manually install everything all over again. is there a workaround here that can help me ?

Each Docker image restart sets it up anew, as you know, so files like settings.cfg don't exist. If you want to use Docker images, you need to utilize environment variables to define the database connection
