Deploying the plugins

To deploy your plugin image to an Velero server:

1. Make sure your image is pushed to a registry that is accessible to your cluster's nodes.
2. Run velero plugin add <registry/image:version>. Example with a dockerhub image: velero plugin add patst/velero-plugin-osm-prune:main.

When the plugin is deployed, it is only made available to use. To make the plugin effective, you must modify your configuration:

Backup/Restore actions:

1. Add the plugin to Velero as described in the Deploying the plugins section. (e.g. velero plugin add getais/velero-plugin-annotations-prune:master)
2. The plugin will be used for the next backup/restore.
