[BUG] read_only mode prevent plugin installation (to be confirmed)

[jehon]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

When running docker with read_only = true, plugins are impossible to install:
neither work:

• check for update (should install the default plugins)
• install plugin

Expected Behavior

When running "check for update", the plugins should come up "magically". They don't.

I think that in read_only mode either:

• the plugin folder need to be mounted from external, to allow writing in it
• the plugins impact some file somewhere

Anyway, I bit of documentation?

Steps To Reproduce

1. start the docker as documented, with the read_only flag
2. go to search
3. bottom right: search plugins
4. use "check for update"
5. the list does not fill in
   In non-read-only mode, the list fill in.

Environment

- OS: Linux Ubuntu
- How docker service was installed: snap

CPU architecture

x86-64

Docker creation

docker compose:

  qbittorrent:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest

    environment:

This is what I would expect to happen if you aren't mounting any external volumes.
No need to add additional documentation to the readme as read only is "best effort" support with our containers, all explained here: https://docs.linuxserver.io/misc/read-only/
