just serving static files, but we implemented our server code, which does one more trick. The plugin is loaded at the touch of "edit" button
and that is it.
## Running
Set the linked volume in `docker-compose.yml` to where you have your plugins directory. Then run the following command.
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
```
This will make the application available on `0.0.0.0:8085`.
## Plugin
Every plugin is a folder which is located where the server code is run from. A plugin consists of config.json file and any other file
you want. config.json instructs plugin loader which files to load. Currently we support three keys in config.json:
1. javascript: list of javascript files, local files have to be written as: `"$LOCATION$/file.js"
2. css: list of css stylesheets, local css have to be written as: `"$LOCATION$/file.js"
1. javascript: list of javascript files, local files have to be written as: `"$LOCATION$/file.js"`
2. css: list of css stylesheets, local css have to be written as: `"$LOCATION$/file.js"`
3. global: key-value list of `{'name': file}` - content of a file is stored in global variable name in browser javacsript. Same rule as above applies to local files.
Everytime you want to access local plugin files in javascript, css or wherever, you prepend `$LOCATION$/` to the url. The plugin server takes care, that correct url is generated. This settings is found in `URL` value in server python code.

In order to run a server, you need to run a default redis server and have these python packages installed: flask and redis.
