Description

I have deployed the mattermost-team-edition in ubuntu server on an amazon ec2 using the mattermost docker.
I installed a plugin named [mattermost-plugin-oembed](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-oembed) by compressing it into tar.gz following the documentation of [plugin](https://developers.mattermost.com/integrate/admin-guide/admin-plugins-beta/) but I got following error while enabling the plugin.

I used the same plugin compressed file in my local environment without using docker it works fine but when I use it in my docker environment I get the following message in my server logs.

`{"timestamp":"2021-10-22 04:28:53.738 Z","level":"error","msg":"Unable to activate plugin","caller":"app/plugin.go:146","plugin_id":"com.mattermost.oembed","error":"unable to start plugin: com.mattermost.oembed: Unrecognized remote plugin message: \n\nThis usually means that the plugin is either invalid or simply\nneeds to be recompiled to support the latest protocol."}`

I am unaware why I am getting this error or is this an issue with the docker version of mattermost.

Additional Information:

1. MATTERMOST_IMAGE=mattermost-team-edition
2. MATTERMOST_IMAGE_TAG=5.33.1
3. Database Schema Version: 5.33.1
4. Database: postgres

Research direction

Start with the Docker deployment details in the issue, especially MATTERMOST_IMAGE_TAG=5.33.1, the PostgreSQL database, and the mattermost-plugin-oembed archive. Compare the local and Docker environments, then inspect the activation error reported at app/plugin.go:146; done means identifying why the plugin activates locally but not in this container.
