I am trying to load a custom plugin in Kong. I installed the plugin using luarocks make which gave me an output kong-circuit-breaker 1.0.4-1 is now installed in /usr/local (license: MIT) . Now if I try to restart my kong docker container and then restart kong, Kong runs successfully but this plugin is not loaded. After being stuck here for pretty long time I started setting the env variable of my Kong container, KONG_PLUGINS=bundled,kong-circuit-breaker and now the kong container fails to run everytime with a msg plugin is enabled but not installed. I even tried setting LUA_PACKAGE_PATH environment variable of my kong container to point to my plugin directories but of no use. Any idea why this is happenning and how can I successfully load custom plugins in my Kong?

you should not put kong- in the plugin name.

this should be:

KONG_PLUGINS=bundled,circuit-breaker

Kong will look for kong.plugins.YOURPLUGIN thats why you should not put kong-

  • Perhaps open another question. The message is quite clear you didn't install the `check-x-header` plugin – Ôrel Sep 07 '21 at 09:16
