Pre-install plugins, like nf-amazon

[maxbates]

Hi, is there a way to pre-install specific plugins?

When we run a workflow, we do not want the nextflow container to have internet access.

I also don't want nextflow to update itself (i.e. I don't think nextflow self-update is appropriate), just install a set of plugins.

We build nextflow in its own docker container, independent of any workflow / config, but we could create a temporary config to aid the installation.

You can use the command below run a dummy script and force the plugins pull

echo "true" | nextflow run - -plugins nf-amazon
