!!! warning "Experimental"

The `plugins` option is currently experimental and subject to change in future releases.

Enabling Plugins

The plugins option is an install configuration parameter. To enable a plugin, you need to define it in your Traefik install configuration

yaml

experimental:
  plugins:
    plugin-name: # The name of the plugin in the routing configuration
      moduleName: "github.com/github-organization/github-repository" # The plugin module name
      version: "vX.XX.X" # The version to use

toml

[experimental.plugins.plugin-name]
  moduleName = "github.com/github-organization/github-repository" # The plugin module name
  version = "vX.XX.X" # The version to use

bash

# The plugin module name
# With plugin-name the name of the plugin in the routing configuration
--experimental.plugins.plugin-name.modulename=github.com/github-organization/github-repository
--experimental.plugins.plugin-name.version=vX.XX.X # The version to use
