First quick run using docker compose gives errors.

Hi,

I tried to just run it based on the readme.

I only changed the APP_URL:

    #set the APP_ to the URL of bookstack without without a trailing slash APP_URL=https://example.com
    - APP_URL=http://localhost:8080

And connecting returns error:

What did I do wrong? what needs to be changed to have a first successful run of bookstack?

  • I don't want HTTPS since it will be handled by a reverse proxy
  • It's only accessible from a VPN. I want to access it from an IP, not necessarily localhost (only to test).
  • it must be running from 8080 or a different port (!=80)

Using the current master (941d10a) and Docker version 27.5.0, build a187fa5

Thanks!

Hm, not sure - I've just stood up an fresh install on my local workstation and had no such issue. The only changes to my docker-compose.yml from the version in Git are like so:

The addition of platform tags is because I'm running this on an M1 Macbook.

Have you had a dig through the Bookstack debugging documentation? The laravel.log file should be accessible from /var/www/bookstack/storage/logs/ from within the container, as it's not persisted in volumes.

Thanks for the reply.

and the log:

[stacktrace]

It looks like the key I used with linuxserver/docker-bookstack must be in a different format.
All the keys for Laravel are base64, sha512, sha256 but the log says AES...

Can run php artisan key:generate to generate a key is also not really helping.

Problem solved using APP_KEY=base64:sliXXXXXXXX=.
Thanks!
