**Describe the issue / Steps to reproduce:**  
I want to disable CollabPads and other Extensions i dont use and need. Adding extensions is quite easy but removing them seems quite hard. My workaround is to remove it from  
/app/bluespice/w/settings.d/040-BlueSpiceProDistribution.php (by mounting a copy of it)  
but i dont like the solution when updates come along. Is there a better way to do that?

**What was the error message/error log?**  
Collabpads crashes too often for me.

$docker container logs bluespice-collabpads-database:

Hi SaiCode!

I’m sorry for the late reply.

Unfortunately, there is no other way to disable specific extensions currently, except the one you described.

But we’re looking into that, I created a ticket for adding some mechanism to disable extensions in convenient way. Ticket number is **48334**.

Greetings,

Alexey.

Hi SaiCode,

you wrote that _“adding extensions is quite easy.”_ I recently migrated a BlueSpice Free instance from a tarball installation to Docker and have already spent almost half a day trying to find out how additional MediaWiki extensions can be installed in a Docker-based BlueSpice environment.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any useful information in either the official documentation or the community forums. Maybe I am simply searching in the wrong place, but if there is any documentation, guide, or example available, I would be very grateful for a link.

Thanks in advance!
