Research direction

Start by reviewing the documentation for the standard Redmine images and the linked issue comment showing the installation example. Document that plugins depending on gems with native extensions may need additional support, and include corresponding examples for Debian and Alpine. Done means users can understand the limitation and how to address it.

Description

Plugins are an integral part of Redmine. A number of issues have been reported about plugins that require native extensions:
https://github.com/docker-library/redmine/issues?q=is%3Aissue+native+extensions

If a plugin is installed into a container of the standard image the application exits without a log line to indicate why.

It would be a great help if the documentation for these images could acknowledge that they may not be enough to support plugins that depend on gems that include native extensions.

It would also help to have an example of https://github.com/docker-library/redmine/issues/331#issuecomment-2111197534 for Debian, Alpine, etc.
