Just create a subfolder for your test with a subfolder named volume and another subfolder inside volume named plugins.
Unzip the plugin zip directly into the plugins folder. A subfolder with the plugin name should appear
Now start grafana as in
docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 --name=grafana-plugin --user "$(id -u)" --volume "$PWD/volume:/var/lib/grafana" grafana/grafana-ossContainer will start and will be removed when you exit. Data will be kept in the volume. Grafana starts at
http://localhost:3000 with default user admin and password admin
This is what my tree looks like. Note I only created the plugins folder with the unzipped questdb-questdb-datasource
and everything else was created by grafana
.
