Try it

With Camunda Platform 7.14.0:

$ git clone https://github.com/datakurre/camunda-cockpit-plugins.git
$ docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 -v $(pwd)/camunda-cockpit-plugins:/camunda/webapps/camunda/app/cockpit/scripts/:ro camunda/camunda-bpm-platform:7.14.0

With Camunda Platform 7.15.0 (works also with 7.16.0 or 7.17.0):

$ git clone https://github.com/datakurre/camunda-cockpit-plugins.git
$ docker run -d --name mytemp camunda/camunda-bpm-platform:7.15.0
$ docker cp mytemp:/camunda/webapps/camunda/app/cockpit/scripts/camunda-cockpit-ui.js camunda-cockpit-plugins
$ docker rm -vf mytemp
$ docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 -v $(pwd)/camunda-cockpit-plugins:/camunda/webapps/camunda/app/cockpit/scripts/:ro camunda/camunda-bpm-platform:7.15.0

See also the example Dockerfile for Camunda Run 7.15.0.

If you don't immediately see the plugin, try again with your browser's private browsing mode. It is a common issue browser has cached a previous Cockpit plugin configuration without these plugins.

Note: Trying out the plugins with Camunda Platform 7.15.0 Docker image is more complex than with the previous version 7.14.0, because the new location of camunda-cockpit-ui.js prevents simple override of the scripts folder.
