# Plugin Creation
If you create your own plugin:
1. Take a look at the plugins shipped with dokku and hack away!
2. Upload your plugin to github with a repository name in form of `dokku-<name>` (e.g. `dokku-mariadb`)
3. Edit [this page](http://progrium.viewdocs.io/dokku/plugins) and add a link to it.
4. Subscribe to the [dokku development blog](http://progrium.com) to be notified about API changes and releases
### Sample plugin
The below plugin is a dummy `dokku hello` plugin. If your plugin exposes commands, this is a good template for your `commands` file:
```shell
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -eo pipefail; [[ $DOKKU_TRACE ]] && set -x
source "$(dirname $0)/../common/functions"
case "$1" in
hello)
[[ -z $2 ]] && echo "Please specify an app to run the command on" && exit 1
verify_app_name "$2"
APP="$2";
echo "Hello $APP"
;;
hello:world)
echo "Hello world"
;;
help)
cat && cat<<EOF
hello <app> Says "Hello <app>"
hello:world Says "Hello world"
EOF
;;
*)
exit $DOKKU_NOT_IMPLEMENTED_EXIT
;;
esac
```
A few notes:
- You should always support `DOKKU_TRACE` as specified on the 2nd line of the plugin.
- If your command requires that an application exists, ensure you check for it's existence in the manner prescribed above.
- A `help` command is required, though it is allowed to be empty.
- Commands *should* be namespaced.
- As of 0.3.3, a catch-all should be implemented which exits with a `DOKKU_NOT_IMPLEMENTED_EXIT` code. This allows dokku to output a `command not found` message.
- Be sure you want the "set -eo pipefail" option. Look at the following example :
```shell
IMAGE=$(docker images | grep "user/repo" | awk '{print $3}')
if [[ -z $IMAGE ]]; then
echo "user/repo image not found... Did you run 'dokku plugins-install'?"
exit 1
fi
```
In the case where the "user/repo" is not installed, dokku exits just before the awk command,
you will never see the message printed with echo. You just want "set -e" in this case.
Here is the documentation of the 'set -eo pipefail' option:
```
help set
Options:
-e Exit immediately if a command exits with a non-zero status.
-o option-name
pipefail the return value of a pipeline is the status of
the last command to exit with a non-zero status,
or zero if no command exited with a non-zero status
```
