    27  
    28  Creates a plugin. Before creating the plugin, prepare the plugin's root filesystem as well as
    29  [the config.json](../../extend/config.md)
    30  
    31  
    32  The following example shows how to create a sample `plugin`.
    33  
    34  ```bash
    35  
    36  $ ls -ls /home/pluginDir
    37  
    38  4 -rw-r--r--  1 root root 431 Nov  7 01:40 config.json
    39  0 drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 420 Nov  7 01:40 rootfs
    40  
    41  $ docker plugin create plugin /home/pluginDir
    42  plugin
    43  
    44  $ docker plugin ls
    45  ID                  NAME                TAG                 DESCRIPTION                  ENABLED
    46  672d8144ec02        plugin              latest              A sample plugin for Docker   false
    47  ```
    48  
    49  The plugin can subsequently be enabled for local use or pushed to the public registry.
