Upload a plugin

To upload or update a plugin, complete the following steps. To update a plugin, upload a new version. Starting with version 6.4, you can also delete plugins using the REST API. For details, see Delete a plugin.

  1. Open a transaction.

    For more information, see Open a transaction.

  2. POST the plugin as a zip file (application/zip) to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/upload/plugins endpoint, for example:

    curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/zip" --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/upload/plugins --data-binary @<path-to-plugin.zip>

    If the POST request is successful, the response includes the key of the new plugin, as well as information about the uploaded plugin. For example:

    {
    "meta": {
        "href": "/api/configuration/plugins/aa/aa423b72-0d0f-4275-be30-494e9a99ffad",
        "parent": "/api/configuration/plugins/aa"
    },
    "key": "aa423b72-0d0f-4275-be30-494e9a99ffad",
    "body": {
        "name": "Sample-Authentication-Plugin",
        "description": "My custom authentication plugin",
        "version": "1.12",
        "path": "/opt/scb/var/plugins/aa/Sample-Authentication-Plugin",
        "api": "1.0"
    }
}
  3. Commit your changes.

    For more information, see Commit a transaction.

Note the following points.

  • Re-uploading an already existing plugin overwrites the existing plugin.

  • Uploading a newer version of an already existing plugin overwrites the existing plugin.
