Configure ``findface-facerouter`` to Use Plugins
======================================================

.. tip::

   To get started, try the default plugin ``/opt/findface-security/fr_plugin/ffsec_fr_plugin.py``. Or go ahead and :ref:`create your own <plugin-basics>`.

.. important::
   Be sure to :ref:`change <modify-schema>` the Tarantool database structure prior, according to the processing directive in the plugin.

.. important::
   The ``findface-facerouter`` component must be :ref:`installed and configured <deploy-facerouter>`.

To configure ``findface-facerouter`` to use plugins, do the following:

#. Put a plugin into a directory of your choice. All plugins in use have to be in the same directory.
#. Open the ``findface-facerouter`` configuration file. Uncomment the ``plugin_dir`` parameter and specify the plugin directory. 

   .. warning::
      The ``findface-facerouter.py`` content must be correct Python code.

   .. code::

      sudo vi /etc/findface-facerouter.py

      plugin_dir                   = '/etc/findface/plugins/'

#. Restart ``findface-facerouter``.

   .. code::

      sudo systemctl restart findface-facerouter.service
