I deployed Dify on Alibaba Cloud using Docker. The online installation of openai_api_compatible failed, and the offline installation after downloading also failed.Please tell me how to use this plugin within mainland China.

Hi @gui0923! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the dify team.

The installation failures are happening because Dify tries to fetch plugin dependencies from the internet during initialization, which often fails in mainland China due to network restrictions and instability. To use the openai_api_compatible plugin in a restricted or offline environment, you need to create a fully self-contained offline package that includes all dependencies.

Here’s how you can do it:

1. On a machine with Python 3.12 and internet access, use the dify-plugin-repackaging tool to bundle the plugin and all its dependencies into a single offline package.
2. Download the plugin’s .difypkg file from the Dify marketplace, then run the repackaging script:
   ./plugin_repackaging.sh local ./[plugin-name].difypkg
3. Transfer the resulting offline package (ending in -offline.difypkg) to your Alibaba Cloud environment.
4. Set these environment variables in your .env file:

   FORCE_VERIFYING_SIGNATURE=false
   PLUGIN_MAX_PACKAGE_SIZE=524288000
   NGINX_CLIENT_MAX_BODY_SIZE=500M
   

   Restart your Dify containers.
5. Use the “install from local file” option in Dify to install the repackaged plugin.

This method ensures all dependencies are available locally and avoids network timeouts during installation. If you still encounter issues, try clearing stuck plugin installation tasks via the admin dashboard or API, increase the PYTHON_ENV_INIT_TIMEOUT in your Docker Compose config, and check Docker resource limits for CPU/memory source.

Dify does not currently support specifying custom Python mirrors for plugin dependency installation, so the offline bundle approach is the recommended solution for mainland China source.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
