I have a Dockerfile to run errbot, looking for a way to script plugin installation. The documentation only seems to list the manual !repos install ... method.
Is there any way for automatic plugin installation from git repo?

Yes, you can simply use the BOT_EXTRA_PLUGIN_DIR config parameter and put any plugins you want to preload there. https://github.com/errbotio/errbot/blob/master/errbot/config-template.py#L85

Thanks, that's one way, but I'd have to pull them locally in this case when building the docker image? I guess that's doable... – Michał Matyjek Jul 05 '17 at 05:04

OK modified the plugin's code to pick up config from environment variables and all working well, thanks @gbin ! – Michał Matyjek Jul 05 '17 at 05:34

If you've initialized Docker swarm mode (even if just on the one Docker host), you can use Docker Configs to pull in files to a container at run-time rather than baking them into the Docker image.
For your specific use case, check out the Docker image https://github.com/swarmstack/errbot-docker which does exactly what you are looking for.
