How do I install Algolia Search in a running Docker Compose setup with Apache/Answer?

Question

I currently have a live website running in a Docker Compose environment. I’d like to install an additional plugin, such as Algolia Search, but I haven’t been able to get it working. I’m using the latest Docker Image of Apache/Answer, but I suspect I might be missing some necessary development tools.

I have little experience with Docker and Apache/Answer, so I’m unsure how to properly install the plugin without disrupting the live environment. Is there a way to set this up afterwards? I’d be truly grateful for any tips or guidance!

Best regards, and thank you in advance!
