El 15 de septiembre de 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 administrador de complementos de Apache Airflow te permite escribir operadores internos, hooks, sensores o interfaces personalizados de Apache Airflow.
Para obtener más información, consulta los complementos personalizados en la documentación de Airflow.
Acerca de los complementos personalizados
Cuando creas un entorno, Cloud Composer crea un bucket de Cloud Storage y lo asocia a tu entorno. Usa la carpeta plugins en el bucket de tu entorno para instalar los complementos personalizados.
Antes de comenzar
Tu cuenta debe tener una función que permita ver y modificar el contenido del bucket de tu entorno.
Este método de instalación solo se aplica a los complementos de Airflow. Por ejemplo, no puedes usar este método para instalar módulos comunes de Python ni 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.
Para instalar un complemento, haz lo siguiente:
Console
En la consola de Google Cloud , ve a la página Entornos.
LOCATION por la región en la que se encuentra el entorno.
PATH_TO_LOCAL_FILE por la ruta del archivo que se va a subir.
PATH_IN_SUBFOLDER por la ruta de la subcarpeta (opcional). Usa el argumento --destination para subir un complemento a una subcarpeta de la carpeta plugins. De lo contrario, omite el argumento --destination.
Cómo ver la lista de complementos
Console
En la consola de Google Cloud , ve a la página Entornos.
LOCATION por la región en la que se encuentra el entorno.
PATH_TO_LOCAL_DESTINATION por el destino del archivo descargado
--source es una opción para descargar solo un complemento.
PATH_IN_FOLDER es la ruta de la carpeta.
Inhabilita los complementos del servidor web
En Cloud Composer 3, si tienes problemas con la IU de Airflow, puedes inhabilitar los complementos del servidor web sin tener que quitarlos del bucket del entorno.
gcloud
Los siguientes argumentos de Google Cloud CLI inhabilitan y habilitan los complementos del servidor web:
--no-support-web-server-plugins: Inhabilita los complementos del servidor web
--support-web-server-plugins: Habilita los complementos del servidor web
Para inhabilitar los complementos del servidor web, ejecuta el siguiente comando de Google Cloud CLI:
No se ve un complemento recién subido en la IU de Airflow
Si usas el control de acceso a la IU de Airflow, es posible que el complemento que se subió recientemente no se vea en la IU de Airflow. Para solucionar este problema, pídele al administrador de la IU de Airflow que configure el acceso al complemento recién subido o asígnate el rol de Admin en la IU 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-3/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.
