I followed the installation instructions on docker according to the link: [jeromeguillaume/kong-plugin-soap-xml-handling (github.com)](https://github.com/jeromeguillaume/kong-plugin-soap-xml-handling?tab=readme-ov-file#how-deploy-soapxml-handling-plugins-in-kong-gateway-standalone--docker)

Step 1: Clone git repo: git clone [GitHub - jeromeguillaume/kong-plugin-soap-xml-handling](https://github.com/jeromeguillaume/kong-plugin-soap-xml-handling.git)

Step 2: Create and prepare a PostgreDB called `kong-gateway-soap-xml-handling`. [See documentation](https://docs.konghq.com/gateway/latest/install/docker/#prepare-the-database)

Step 3: Ingore because i using Kong Manager free Mode

Step 4: Run docker run command below

```auto
docker run -d --name kong-gateway-soap-xml-handling \
--network=kong-net \
--link kong-database-soap-xml-handling:kong-database-soap-xml-handling \
--mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/kong/plugins/soap-xml-request-handling,destination=/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/kong/plugins/soap-xml-request-handling \

Step 6: I checked docker and there are plugin source folders
