WIP koha-plugin-store

Koha plugin store project consisting of 2 distinct components:

• Backend
• Client

Backend

• Mojolicious app (Perl)

• Koha plugins database

• Features:

  • Restricted access UI for review process of new plugin submissions
  • Authorized community members can access and review plugins
  • Provides REST API to be consumed by core Koha
  • Automatically manage latest version releases for each plugin

Every submitted plugin version runs through an 11-check automated certification pipeline before it can publish, and published versions are signed by the store — see docs/CERTIFICATION.md.

Quick start (Docker)

cp koha_plugin_store.conf.docker.example koha_plugin_store.conf
docker compose up -d --build
docker compose exec app script/koha_plugin_store migrate

Visit http://127.0.0.1:3000. See DEVELOPMENT.md for the full dev setup, including host-only dev, testing GitHub OAuth login, and common pitfalls.

Client

• VueJS App

• Relevant repo/branch here

• Interacts with backend using the REST API

• Features:

  • Provides UI for searching and installing plugins
  • Enables updating an installed plugin if installed version is out of date
