  title: docker plugin enable (experimental)

  Usage:  docker plugin enable PLUGIN
  
  Enable a plugin
  
  Options:
    --help   Print usage
  

Enables a plugin. The plugin must be installed before it can be enabled, see docker plugin install.

The following example shows that the no-remove plugin is installed, but disabled ("inactive"):

$ docker plugin ls

NAME                    VERSION             ACTIVE
tiborvass/no-remove     latest              false

To enable the plugin, use the following command:

$ docker plugin enable tiborvass/no-remove

tiborvass/no-remove

After the plugin is enabled, it appears as "active" in the list of plugins:

$ docker plugin ls

NAME                    VERSION             ACTIVE
tiborvass/no-remove     latest              true
