What version of the plugin did you install? We have 3.2.5 installed on our own community and it is working.

I also have 3.2.5 installed. I have an icon when I want to create a post, but no poll window comes out when clocking that. Also pasting the [poll .. [/poll] code doesnt do it for me. I have installed via docker. My current nodebb is: NodeBB v4.1.1.

What's the url of your forum, maybe there are client side js errors that are preventing it from working properly

I am trying to run nodebb on a local NAS, using this guide here: https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-nodebb-on-your-synology-nas/ One thing I had to do differently is the port settings, because my internet provider only frees certain ports, so there probalby still is something off. Currently the forum only runs if I add the ssl portnumber on step 22. This is still locally. Might this be the problem?

I am not familiar with that setup, but if there are errors you should see them in either the browser console or the nodebb logs either during ./nodebb build or when you restart it.

This is found in my log file :/

That means the plugin is not in the node_modules folder in your nodebb installation folder. Once you resole that and rebuild nodebb it should work.

Using npm install in the node_modules folder in the container doesnt make sense, how do I put the plugins I want into the image?

I got it to run, the mistake was in my installation.
