# Use Docker Engine plugins
|
||
|
|
||
|
This document describes the Docker Engine plugins generally available in Docker
|
||
|
Engine. To view information on plugins managed by Docker,
|
||
|
refer to [Docker Engine plugin system](index.md).
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can extend the capabilities of the Docker Engine by loading third-party
|
||
|
plugins. This page explains the types of plugins and provides links to several
|
||
|
volume and network plugins for Docker.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Types of plugins
|
||
|
|
||
|
Plugins extend Docker's functionality. They come in specific types. For
|
||
|
example, a [volume plugin](plugins_volume.md) might enable Docker
|
||
|
volumes to persist across multiple Docker hosts and a
|
||
|
[network plugin](plugins_network.md) might provide network plumbing.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Currently Docker supports authorization, volume and network driver plugins. In the future it
|
||
|
will support additional plugin types.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Installing a plugin
|
||
|
|
||
|
Follow the instructions in the plugin's documentation.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Finding a plugin
|
||
|
|
||

The sections below provide an inexhaustive overview of available plugins.
