Installation

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other Home Assistant add-on.

  1. Search for the "bookstack" add-on in the add-on store and install it.
  2. Start the "bookstack" add-on
  3. Check the logs of the "bookstack" add-on to see if everything went well.
  4. Default login information is admin@admin.com/password.

Configuration

Note: Remember to restart the add-on when the configuration is changed.

Example add-on configuration:

log_level: info
ssl: false
certfile: fullchain.pem
keyfile: privkey.pem

Note: This is just an example, don't copy and paste it! Create your own!

Option: log_level

The log_level option controls the level of log output by the addon and can be changed to be more or less verbose, which might be useful when you are dealing with an unknown issue. Possible values are:

  • trace: Show every detail, like all called internal functions.
  • debug: Shows detailed debug information.
  • info: Normal (usually) interesting events.
  • warning: Exceptional occurrences that are not errors.
  • error: Runtime errors that do not require immediate action.
  • fatal: Something went terribly wrong. Add-on becomes unusable.

Please note that each level automatically includes log messages from a more severe level, e.g., debug also shows info messages. By default, the log_level is set to info, which is the recommended setting unless you are troubleshooting.

Option: ssl

Enables/Disables SSL (HTTPS) on the web interface of Bookstack Panel. Set it true to enable it, false otherwise.

Option: certfile

The certificate file to use for SSL.

Note: The file MUST be stored in /ssl/, which is the default

Option: keyfile

The private key file to use for SSL.

Note: The file MUST be stored in /ssl/, which is the default

Option: proxy_host

If using a reverse proxy, the domain configured for example https://www.example.com.

Option: remote_mysql_host

If using an external database, the hostname/address for the MYSQL/MariaDB database.

Option: remote_mysql_database

Only applies if a remote MYSQL database is used, the name of the database.

Option: remote_mysql_username

Only applies if a remote MYSQL database is used, the username with permissions.

Option: remote_mysql_password

Only applies if a remote MYSQL database is used, the password of the above user.

Option: remote_mysql_port

Only applies if a remote MYSQL database is used, the port that the database server is listening on.

Database usage

By default, Bookstack will automatically use and configure the Home Assistant MariaDB addon which should be installed prior to startup, this can be changed within the configuration to use an external MySql/MariaDB Database. Please note that there is no easy upgrade path between the two options.

Known issues and limitations

  • SMTP support is disabled.
  • Ingress will not function due to the way the application stores image files.
