linuxserver/bookstack

Bookstack is a free and open source Wiki designed for creating beautiful documentation. Featuring a simple, but powerful WYSIWYG editor it allows for teams to create detailed and useful documentation with ease.

Powered by SQL and including a Markdown editor for those who prefer it, BookStack is geared towards making documentation more of a pleasure than a chore.

For more information on BookStack visit their website and check it out: https://www.bookstackapp.com

Supported Architectures

We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/bookstack:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Architecture	Available	Tag
x86-64	✅	amd64-<version tag>
arm64	✅	arm64v8-<version tag>
armhf	❌

Application Setup

The default username is admin@admin.com with the password of password, access the container at http://dockerhost:6875.

This application is dependent on a MySQL database be it one you already have or a new one. If you do not already have one, set up our MariaDB container here https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/mariadb/.

If you intend to use this application behind a subfolder reverse proxy, such as our SWAG container or Traefik you will need to make sure that the APP_URL environment variable is set to your external domain, or it will not work.

Documentation for BookStack can be found at https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/.

BookStack File & Directory Paths

This container ensures certain BookStack application files & folders, such as user file upload folders, are retained within the /config folder so that they are persistent & accessible when the /config container path is bound as a volume. There may be cases, when following the BookStack documentation, that you'll need to know how these files and folders are used relative to a non-container BookStack installation.

Below is a mapping of container /config paths to those relative within a BookStack install directory:

/config container path => BookStack relative path
/config/www/.env => .env
/config/www/laravel.log => storage/logs/laravel.log
/config/www/backups/ => storage/backups/
/config/www/files/ => storage/uploads/files/
/config/www/images/ => storage/uploads/images/
/config/www/themes/ => themes/
/config/www/uploads/ => public/uploads/

Advanced Users (full control over the .env file)

If you wish to use the extra functionality of BookStack such as email, Memcache, LDAP and so on you will need to make your own .env file with guidance from the BookStack documentation.

When you create the container, do not set any arguments for any SQL settings. The container will copy an exemplary .env file to /config/www/.env on your host system for you to edit.

Usage

To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

docker run -d \

Parameters

Containers are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Parameter	Function
`-p 80`	will map the container's port 80 to port 6875 on the host
`-e PUID=1000`	for UserID - see below for explanation
`-e PGID=1000`	for GroupID - see below for explanation
`-e TZ=Etc/UTC`	specify a timezone to use, see this list.
`-e APP_URL=yourbaseurl`	for specifying the IP:port or URL your application will be accessed on (ie. `http://192.168.1.1:6875` or `https://bookstack.mydomain.com`
`-e DB_HOST=yourdbhost`	for specifying the database host
`-e DB_PORT=yourdbport`	for specifying the database port if not default 3306
`-e DB_USER=yourdbuser`	for specifying the database user
`-e DB_PASS=yourdbpass`	for specifying the database password (minimum 4 characters & non-alphanumeric passwords must be properly escaped.)
`-e DB_DATABASE=bookstackapp`	for specifying the database to be used
`-e QUEUE_CONNECTION=`	Set to `database` to enable async actions like sending email or triggering webhooks. See documentation.
`-v /config`	Persistent config files

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.

As an example:

-e FILE__MYVAR=/run/secrets/mysecretvariable

Will set the environment variable MYVAR based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretvariable file.

Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id your_user as below:

id your_user

Example output:

uid=1000(your_user) gid=1000(your_user) groups=1000(your_user)

Docker Mods

We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.

Support Info

Shell access whilst the container is running:
```
docker exec -it bookstack /bin/bash
```
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
```
docker logs -f bookstack
```

Container version number:

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' bookstack

Image version number:

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/bookstack:latest

Updating Info

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (noted in the relevant readme.md), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.

Below are the instructions for updating containers:

Via Docker Compose

Update images:

All images:
```
docker-compose pull
```
Single image:
```
docker-compose pull bookstack
```

Update containers:

All containers:
```
docker-compose up -d
```
Single container:
```
docker-compose up -d bookstack
```

You can also remove the old dangling images:
```
docker image prune
```

Via Docker Run

Update the image:

docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/bookstack:latest

Stop the running container:
```
docker stop bookstack
```
Delete the container:
```
docker rm bookstack
```
Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved)
You can also remove the old dangling images:
```
docker image prune
```

Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)

tip: We recommend Diun for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.

Building locally

If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:

git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-bookstack.git
cd docker-bookstack
docker build \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  -t lscr.io/linuxserver/bookstack:latest .

The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static

docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset

Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
