[QGIS-Developer] Boundless (docs) & Central provisioning of QGIS plugins...

[Alexandre Neto]

Regarding this subject,

I have found this on PyQGIS Cookbook:

Note

By setting QGIS_PLUGINPATH to an existing directory path, you can add this
path to the list of paths that are searched for plugins.


So, I am guessing that one could set a folder with plugins in a network
location and then setup this environment variable in each machine to have
all the plugins available on all machines.

Just guessing, I didn't have the time to test it out.
