You have to build you own image with the plugins you want installed on every update

this is my Dockerfile (just add the plugins you use)

FROM ghcr.io/nodebb/nodebb:latest

# Install NodeBB plugins
RUN npm install \
    nodebb-plugin-cards \
    nodebb-plugin-link-preview \
    nodebb-plugin-tenor-gif

# Expose the default NodeBB port
EXPOSE 4567

Ashutosh-Verma Thanks for your advice. Will save Time during Update.

If you want add healthcheck to your nodebb Docker, visit:

https://forum.its-egner.de/topic/4581/nodebb-healthcheck

And here the Update Script with all of my Plugins for Ubuntu 24

git fetch
git reset --hard origin/v4.x
chown -R 1001:1001 .docker public
docker-compose -f docker-compose-orgi.yml build
docker-compose -f docker-compose-orgi.yml up -d
docker exec -i nodebb-nodebb-1 npm install \
    nodebb-plugin-embed \
    nodebb-plugin-math-captcha \
    nodebb-plugin-embed \
    nodebb-plugin-emoji-android \
    nodebb-plugin-google-analytics \
    nodebb-plugin-sso-google \
    nodebb-plugin-tenor-gif
