Load custom module with a Docker image

[gauss-lvs-dev]

Is it possible to load a custom module from an absolute location?

Initially I installed Synapse with the apt repository and placed my custom python module in /opt/venvs/matrix-synapse/lib/python3.8/site-packages. I was able to load the module with:

modules:
  - module: custom_event_rules.MyRules

Recently I used the Docker image to install Synapse on a different server. Unfortunatly I was not able to manage to load a custom module with the Docker image. I placed the file in the Docker volume folder and modifed the homeserver.yaml like this:

modules:
  - module: /data/custom_event_rules.MyRules

The documentation states:

Each module is defined by a path to a Python class as well as a configuration. This information for a given module should be available in the module's own documentation.

https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/modules/index.html

Maybe I am missunderstanding the documentation.

Kind regards!

I think this is pretty much a duplicate of #9944.
