Hi All,

I am deploying Traefik as deployment and loading the plugins files from configmaps, the configmap is mounted successfully but failed to load the plugins:

> time="2024-03-03T14:13:13Z" level=error msg="Plugins are disabled because an error has occurred." error="1 error occurred:\n\t\* failed to open the plugin manifest plugins-local/src/tlsauth/.traefik.yml: open plugins-local/src/tlsauth/.traefik.yml: no such file or directory\n\n"

As it says in local plugin:

> The plugins must be placed in `./plugins-local` directory, which should be in the working directory of the process running the Traefik binary.

In the pod, the file and directory do exist in the same folder with binary file:

> /usr/local/bin/plugins-local/src/tlsauth # ls -al  
> total 12  
> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 55 Mar 3 14:13 .  
> drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 21 Mar 3 14:13 ..  
> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1020 Mar 3 14:13 .traefik.yml  
> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44 Mar 3 14:13 go.mod  
> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2668 Mar 3 14:13 main.go

Then what the file should be mounted to?

I managed to find that the folder of "plugins-local" must be mounted to "/" instead of others:

volumeMounts:

```auto
- name: traefik-plugin
  mountPath: /plugins-local/src/tlsauth/.traefik.yml
  subPath: .traefik.yml

```
