How to install on vault

[axlsmit]

I´ve tried to install the plugin into vault with this command

vault` write -address=${VAULT_ADDR} sys/plugins/catalog/oracle-database-plugin sha_256=c74137c46c18dfed18017bde75a025325a3ed4e3d6416ca905914504983cf184 command="./github.com/gdavison/vault-oracle"

but i have the following result error

Error writing data to sys/plugins/catalog/oracle-database-plugin: Error making API request.

URL: PUT http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/plugins/catalog/oracle-database-plugin
Code: 500. Errors:

* 1 error occurred:

* can not execute files outside of configured plugin directory

I suspect the command argument is not valid but also I'm not sure if I have the right binary file.
In my pkg folder I have this

folder vault-oracle
file vault-oracle.a

Please, any help would be appreciated.

I can get back to you with more info later today, but in a nutshell, Vault will only load plugins from a plugin directory. By default, it is not configured, but the config setting plugin_directory (https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/configuration/index.html#plugin_directory) will set it.

I will update the documentation as well.

Hi gdavison, thanks for answer.
ok, this is a good point but I have to tell you in my file config to start vault I´ve assigned the pugin_directory with
plugin_directory = "/vaultconfig/plugins/"
in this directory I have the following folder structure
/vaultconfig/plugins/github.com/gdavison/
and in gdavison folder exists the vault-oracle folder and the vault-oracle.a file (assume that this is the binary file)
I'm a beginner in goland and vault so any update would be appreciated.
Thank you so much.

@axlsmit if you run go build -o oracle-database-plugin ./plugin to build the plugin, then oracle-database-plugin is the file that you want to put in /vaultconfig/plugins/. I don't know if subdirectories inside /vaultconfig/plugins/ will work.

@axlsmit I've updated the documentation. Can you let me know if it is more clear now?
