## ElizaOS Technical Discussions

### Summary of Key Issues
- **Plugin Installation Errors**: `npx elizaos plugins add` failing due to missing dependencies.
- **Twitter Client Failures**: Login issues due to Cloudflare security changes.
- **Docker Build Failures**: `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` errors; revised Dockerfile proposed.
- **Memory Management & RAG Issues**: Debugging embedding models and database configurations.
- **Multi-Agent Setup**: Recommended using namespaced environment variables.
- **Local LLM Support**: Integration with Ollama via `plugin-local-ai`.
- **Discord Client Setup**: Correct installation via `npx elizaos plugins add @elizaos-plugins/client-discord`.
- **Eliza V2 Migration**: Need for an auto-migration tool; new CLI (`npx elizaos start`).

5. **How to install a custom plugin?**  
   - Add to `packages/`, then install with `pnpm add @elizaos-plugins/plugin-name`.
6. **How to secure the REST API?**  
   - Use `AUTH_KEY` in `.env` and require it for API requests.
7. **How to integrate Eliza with Next.js?**  
   - Use `client-direct` to expose a REST API.
8. **How to make Eliza post formatted tweets?**
