I have been unable to get the time to complete my migration from LMS
8.2.0 on Windows to LMS 8.2.0 on Docker. Maybe this weekend I will get
some extra free time to get back to it, but on my own I'm running into
some road blocks. I read this and other threads on the subject and was
able to get the LMS container up and running with a /LMS/config folder
outside the container to store the persistent data and configuration. 
But... I have been unable to migrate my "old" plugins and their
preferences to the LMS on Docker on my Synology DS920+.  I started to
wonder if there any limitation on the plugins (list of plugins) that are
not supported on Docker? Do they have to be embedded with the image? 
I'm not very familiar with Docker, but know enough to follow
instructions.

Here is the process I have been following without success to migrate my
LMS Plugins from my old Windows setup to my new DS920+.

0. Stop the LMS Container
1. Copy one plugin folder or a few plugin folders from
/ProgramData/squeezebox/cache/InstalledPluins/Plugins - to the
/LMS/config/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins
2. Copy the corresponding plugin(s) .prefs file(s) from 
/ProgramData/Squeezebox/prefs/plugin - to the /LMS/config/prefs/plugin
3. Start the LMS container... Go to the LMS server -> LMS Main Server
page notifies me of new plugin(s) available.
4. Go to the Plugins setting page... Migrated (copied) Plugins already
selected... server requests restart.
5. Restart server... Plugins disappear from the LMS Plugins setting page
and from the /Plugins folder in Docker
6. The UNEXPLAINED!... After the server restarts... the /LMS and
/Plugins folder with the new migrated (copied) plugins folders are moved
to the /LMS/config/cache/template... Why?

I just thought I'd try the old method I used when I migrated from one
Windows server to another.  I have searched several threads and read
lots of posts, but still no dice. Am I missing something obvious? I want
to finish the plugins migration before I start messing around with
MusicIP on Docker which I believe is going to be another challenge.
