I believe you want to first install the plugin in the container image.
The section on plugins might be of interest to you. [1]

The deploy script is able to detect the file in the "Checking for ML2 plugins" step however, I'm not able to copy it anywhere in the "Copying ML2 plugin" step. Am I missing something?
