El 15 de septiembre del 2026, todos los entornos de Cloud Composer 1 y Cloud Composer 2 versión 2.0.x alcanzarán el final de su ciclo de vida previsto y no podrás usarlos. Te recomendamos que planifiques la migración a Cloud Composer 3.
En esta página se describe cómo instalar complementos personalizados en tu entorno de Cloud Composer.
El gestor de complementos de Apache Airflow te permite escribir operadores, ganchos, sensores o interfaces de Apache Airflow internos personalizados.
Para obtener más información, consulta los plugins personalizados en la documentación de Airflow.
Acerca de los complementos personalizados
Cuando creas un entorno, Cloud Composer crea un segmento de Cloud Storage y lo asocia a tu entorno. Usa la carpeta plugins del bucket de tu entorno para instalar complementos personalizados.
Antes de empezar
Tu cuenta debe tener un rol que permita ver y modificar el contenido del segmento de tu entorno.
Este método de instalación solo se aplica a los plugins de Airflow. Por ejemplo, no puedes usar este método para instalar módulos de Python comunes u otras bibliotecas.
Para instalar un complemento personalizado en tu entorno de Cloud Composer, copia el código del complemento en la carpeta plugins del bucket de tu entorno.
cuyo valor predeterminado es 5000.
Para instalar un complemento, sigue estos pasos:
Consola
En la Google Cloud consola, ve a la página Entornos.
LOCATION con la región en la que se encuentra el entorno.
PATH_TO_LOCAL_FILE con la ruta del archivo que quieras subir.
(Opcional) PATH_IN_SUBFOLDER con la ruta de la subcarpeta. Usa el argumento --destination para subir un complemento a una subcarpeta de la carpeta plugins. De lo contrario, omite el argumento --destination.

Consola
En la Google Cloud consola, ve a la página Entornos.
LOCATION con la región en la que se encuentra el entorno.
PATH_TO_LOCAL_DESTINATION con el destino del archivo descargado.
(Opcional) --source es una opción para descargar solo un complemento.
PATH_IN_FOLDER es la ruta de la carpeta.
Solucionar problemas con los complementos
Un complemento recién subido no se ve en la interfaz de usuario de Airflow
Si usas Control de acceso a la interfaz de Airflow, es posible que el complemento que acabas de subir no se vea en la interfaz de Airflow. Para solucionar este problema, pide al administrador de la interfaz de usuario de Airflow que configure el acceso al complemento que acabas de subir o asígnate el rol Admin en la interfaz de usuario de Airflow.

You use the `plugins` folder in your\nenvironment's bucket to install custom plugins.\n\nBefore you begin\n\n- Your account [must have a role](/composer/docs/composer-2/access-control#user-account) that allows viewing and modifying your environment's bucket contents.\n- This installation method applies only to [Airflow plugins](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/authoring-and-scheduling/plugins.html). For example, you cannot use this method to install common Python modules or other libraries.\n- Plugins must conform to the [Airflow plugins template](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/authoring-and-scheduling/plugins.html#example) guidelines.\n\nInstall a plugin\n\nTo install a custom plugin into your Cloud Composer environment,\ncopy the plugin code to the `plugins` folder in your environment's bucket.\n| **Note:** After the plugins are loaded, they are never reloaded, except the UI plugins in the web server. You might need to restart the web server or the scheduler processes manually. Otherwise, a scheduler only restarts after the [`[scheduler]num_runs`](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/configurations-ref.html#num-runs), which is set to 5000 by default.\n\nTo install a plugin: \n\nConsole\n\n1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Environments** page.\n\n [Go to Environments](https://console.cloud.google.com/composer/environments)\n2. Find your environment and follow the **DAGs** link.\n\n3. Go one folder level up, then navigate to the `plugins/` folder.\n\n4. Upload your plugin files. For more information about uploading objects,\n see [Uploading objects](/storage/docs/uploading-objects).\n\ngcloud\n\nUse the following `gcloud` command: \n\n gcloud composer environments storage plugins import \\\n --environment \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eENVIRONMENT_NAME\u003c/var\u003e \\\n --location \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eLOCATION\u003c/var\u003e \\\n --source \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003ePATH_TO_LOCAL_FILE\u003c/var\u003e \\\n --destination \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003ePATH_IN_SUBFOLDER\u003c/var\u003e\n\nReplace:\n\n- `ENVIRONMENT_NAME` with the name of the environment.\n- `LOCATION` with the region where the environment is located.\n- `PATH_TO_LOCAL_FILE` with the path of the file to upload.\n- (Optional) `PATH_IN_SUBFOLDER` with the subfolder path.
