Managing packages
Integration packages extend Plakar with connectors for cloud storage providers, databases, and other systems. This guide covers the full lifecycle of a package: installing, listing, upgrading, and removing.
List installed packages
To see which packages are currently installed:
$ plakar pkg list
Install a package
Pre-built package
Pre-built packages are hosted on Plakar’s infrastructure and require you to be logged in to download them. To log in:
$ plakar login
Passphrase
In v1.0.6 and below, only interactive login is supported. Non-interactive and token-based login are available from v1.1.0 and above.
Once logged in, install a package by name from the official plugin registry (e.g. the S3 integration):
$ plakar pkg add s3
Local archive
If you built the package from source or have a .ptar file on hand, pass the path directly:
$ plakar pkg add ./s3_v1.0.0_darwin_arm64.ptar
This does not require a Plakar account.
Upgrade a package
To upgrade to the latest available version, remove the existing package and reinstall it:
$ plakar pkg rm s3
$ plakar pkg add s3
Upgrading preserves existing store, source, and destination configurations.
Remove a package
$ plakar pkg rm s3
