## Enable Addon offline

For some reason, if your cluster network cannot request the official addon registry you can enable an addon with a local dir. eg:

```
$ ls
README.md           fluxcd              ocm-cluster-manager terraform           terraform-alibaba   terraform-aws       terraform-azure     velaux

$ vela addon enable velaux/
Addon: velaux enabled Successfully
```

Please notice that, while a addon installing cluster maybe still need pull some images or helm charts.If your cluster cannot reach these resources please refer [docs](../../../platform-engineers/system-operation/enable-addon-offline) to do complete installation without Internet.

## Make your own addon

Refer to extension documents to learn how to [make your own addon and registry](../../../platform-engineers/addon/intro).
