The dir ./volumes/app/mattermost/plugins/zoom/ and all subdirs have 2000:2000 ownership.

I don't know why but it seems that your Mattermost container is not using the /mattermost/plugins folder for plugins, but the /mattermost/client/plugins one.

I don't know the difference between PluginSettings.Directory and PluginSettings.ClientDirectory parameters inside the configuration file. Should ask to someone that know Mattermost better to understand why there is 2 different folders.

i will take a look on this one.

the issue was I forgot to set the owners for the plugin folder, sorry about that

this PR fixes that: #331
