Hello,

I am trying to upload a plugin onto mattermost. Then i enabled it in config.json  
it doesn’t help, even after restart  
installation method docker compose  
image: mattermost-team-edition release 9…9

```auto
    "PluginSettings": {
        "Enable": true,
        "EnableUploads": true,
        "AllowInsecureDownloadURL": true,
        "EnableHealthCheck": true,
        "Directory": "./plugins",
        "ClientDirectory": "./client/plugins",
        "Plugins": {
            "com.mattermost.nps": {
                "enablesurvey": false
            },
            "playbooks": {
                "BotUserID": " *********"
            },
            "zoom": {}
        },
        "PluginStates": {
            "com.mattermost.calls": {
                "Enable": true
            },
            "com.mattermost.nps": {
                "Enable": false
            },
            "playbooks": {
                "Enable": true
            },
            "zoom": {
                "Enable": true
            }
        },
        "EnableMarketplace": true,
        "EnableRemoteMarketplace": true,
        "AutomaticPrepackagedPlugins": true,
        "RequirePluginSignature": true,
        "MarketplaceURL": "https://api.integrations.mattermost.com",
        "SignaturePublicKeyFiles": [],
        "ChimeraOAuthProxyURL": ""
    },

```

What happens when you try to upload? Error messgae? What does `/opt/mattermost/logs/mattermost.log` say when you try to upload?

thank you for response  
Upload button is disabled that is why i can not see log about it (even if the “EnableUploads”: true)

That is odd! Can you post your config.json? Also, one thing to try would be to `tail -f /opt/mattermost/logs/mattermost.log`, stop the mattermost service in another terminal, hit enter a few times in the terminal with the log, then start mattermost again. Post all of the logs that result after starting.

I had the same issue and I could fix it by setting the environment variable `MM_PLUGINSETTINGS_ENABLEUPLOADS=true` in docker-compose.yaml

It seems that the environment variables are the best way to configure MM in docker
