According to the dokku plugin documentation here: https://github.com/progrium/dokku/blob/master/docs/plugins.md#installing-a-plugin I am trying to install the mariadb plugin. I’ve got a droplet with the One-click dokku install, and i am trying to install the plugin via this command:

dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-mariadb.git mariadb

but I can’t seem to work around the error:

/var/lib/dokku/plugins/enabled/00_dokku-standard/install: line 16: /etc/init/dokku-redeploy.conf: Permission denied
Connection to [MyDomainHere] closed.

Any ideas?

Some things I’ve researched is trying to run this command as root:

sudo dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-mariadb.git mariadb

but how does running the command as sudo on my local machine do anything on my docker instance? I setup the droplet with an ssh key, so I can’t log in as root and try to give to dokku user any new permissions.
