APOC plugin loading issue in /plugins directory in the POD

Hi there,

Actually I am trying to load the APOC plugin jar file in the Neo4j pod version 2025.07.1, there are two directories in the pod for plugins, one is in root “/plugins” and another one is in “/var/lib/neo4j/plugins”, the root “/plugins” get persisted and uploaded the APOC jar file but when restarting the pod, it doesn't load the plugin. When I upload the Jar file in “/var/lib/neo4j/plugins” but when restarting the pod, the jar file gets deleted. I just need a solution and also referred this documentation Plugins - Operations Manual but no results. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?

here in the mount path, it is showing the root /plugins, not the /var/lib/neo4j/plugins/
