Installation

Our standard Docker images already include this plugin. If you use a -slim image or another setup, install it with the following command: 

kestractl plugins get io.kestra.plugin:plugin-serdes --compatible-for $KESTRA_VERSION

For kestractl, use your Kestra version with --compatible-for, or specify an exact plugin version.

For Kestra CLI, replace LATEST with a specific version or version range to pin the plugin version.
