I have installed shopware 6.4.0.0 on my local machine and hosted it locally on [local-shopware.com](http://local-shopware.com). The installation is working fine, I am able to place the order on local installation. I am trying to install a plugin but the domain verification is failing.

I have created a sw-domain-hash.html file under the public folder and also able to access the sw-domain-hash.html file from [local-shopware.com/sw-domain-hash.html](http://local-shopware.com/sw-domain-hash.html). The url returns exact same expected string.

Is the reason behind domain verification failure is I have hosted it on localhost and it is not able to reach the url? If that’s the case how can I deploy and test the shopware. Currently, the shopware is running in a docker container.

Also, how can I install a plugin in local shopware, I am not able to see plugins developed by shopware AG in admin panel.

Hi,

the file needs to be accessable from external to verify your domain.
