Plugins
We provide a meta-package that contains all official plugins. Before installing it, make sure you are logged in as the indico user and inside the Indico environment:
su - indico
source ~/.venv/bin/activate
Now install the package which will automatically install our plugins:
pip install indico-plugins
Note
Having all plugins installed has no disadvantages; only plugins enabled
in indico.conf
are actually loaded and executed.
If you do not use the indico-plugins
package, we won’t be able to
display a notification when updates are available and you would have to
update all the plugins separately.
You can use the indico setup list-plugins
command to see which plugins
are installed and which name to use in the config file to load them.
To enable plugins, add a PLUGINS
entry to /opt/indico/etc/indico.conf
.
For example, the following line would enable the “Bank Transfer” and “PayPal”
payment plugins:
PLUGINS = {'payment_manual', 'payment_paypal'}
Some plugins contain additional database tables. Run the plugin database migrations to create them (if you do not have any plugins with custom tables, the command will simply do nothing):
indico db --all-plugins upgrade
After any change to the config file, you need to reload uWSGI:
touch ~/web/indico.wsgi
It is also a good idea to restart the Celery worker (as root) since some plugins may come with background tasks:
systemctl restart indico-celery.service
