Docker Image For BookStack
Versions higher than 23.6.2 no longer use an in-container .env
file for
environment variable management. Instead, the preferred approach is to manage
them directly with the container runtime (e.g. Docker's -e
). This is to
simplify troubleshooting if and when errors occur. The most important change is
that ${APP_KEY}
is no longer provided for you, instead it is up to the
operator to ensure this value is present. Versions prior to this supplied
${APP_KEY}
(with a default of SomeRandomStringWith32Characters
. A full
reference of available environment variables is available in the Bookstack
repository
The version 23.6.0 is broken due to a bad .env
configuration created by the
entrypoint script. This is fixed in version 23.6.0-1.
In 0.28.0 we changed the container http port from 80 to 8080 to allow root privileges to be dropped
In 0.12.2 we removed DB_PORT
. You can now specify the port via DB_HOST
like
DB_HOST=mysql:3306
With Docker Compose is a Quickstart very easy. Run the following command:
docker-compose up
and after that open your Browser and go to
http://localhost:8080 . You can login with username
admin@admin.com
and password password
.
If you have any issues feel free to create an issue on GitHub.
Note that if you want to use LDAP, $
has to be escape like \$
, i.e. -e "LDAP_USER_FILTER"="(&(uid=\${user}))"
Networking changed in Docker v1.9, so you need to do one of the following steps.
-
MySQL Container:
docker run -d \ -p 3306:3306 \ -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=secret \ -e MYSQL_DATABASE=bookstack \ -e MYSQL_USER=bookstack \ -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=secret \ --name bookstack_db \ mysql:5.7.21
-
BookStack Container:
docker run -d --link bookstack_db_:mysql \ -p 8080:8080 \ --name bookstack_24.2.2 \ solidnerd/bookstack:24.2.2
-
Create a shared network:
docker network create bookstack_nw
-
Run MySQL container :
docker run -d --net bookstack_nw \ -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=secret \ -e MYSQL_DATABASE=bookstack \ -e MYSQL_USER=bookstack \ -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=secret \ --name="bookstack_db" \ mysql:5.7.21
-
Run BookStack Container
docker run -d --net bookstack_nw \ -e DB_HOST=bookstack_db:3306 \ -e DB_DATABASE=bookstack \ -e DB_USERNAME=bookstack \ -e DB_PASSWORD=secret \ -e APP_URL=http://example.com \ -p 8080:8080 \ --name="bookstack_24.2.2" \ solidnerd/bookstack:24.2.2
The APP_URL parameter should be the base URL for your BookStack instance without a trailing slash. For example:
APP_URL=http://example.com
The following environment variables are required for Bookstack to start:
APP_KEY
APP_URL
DB_HOST
(in the form${hostname_or_ip_address}:${port}
)DB_DATABASE
DB_USERNAME
DB_PASSWORD
To access your .env
file and important bookstack folders on your host system
change <HOST>
in the following line to your host directory and add it then to
your run command:
--mount type=bind,source=<HOST>/.env,target=/var/www/bookstack/.env \
-v <HOST>:/var/www/bookstack/public/uploads \
-v <HOST>:/var/www/bookstack/storage/uploads
In case of a windows host machine the .env file has to be already created in the host directory otherwise a folder named .env will be created.
After these steps you can visit http://localhost:8080.
You can login with username admin@admin.com
and password password
.
This is a fork of Kilhog/docker-bookstack. Kilhog did the intial work, but I want to go in a different direction.
