Bookstack is a free and open source Wiki designed for creating beautiful documentation. Feautring 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
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling linuxserver/bookstack 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 | Tag |
|---|---|
| x86-64 | amd64-latest |
| arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
| armhf | arm32v6-latest |
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
docker create \
--name=bookstack \
-e PUID=1001 \
-e PGID=1001 \
-e DB_HOST=<yourdbhost> \
-e DB_USER=<yourdbuser> \
-e DB_PASS=<yourdbpass> \
-e DB_DATABASE=bookstackapp \
-e APPURL=your.site.here.xyz \
-p 6875:80 \
-v <path to data>:/config \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/bookstack
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

version: "2"
services:
bookstack:
image: linuxserver/bookstack
container_name: bookstack
environment:
- PUID=1001
- PGID=1001
- DB_HOST=<yourdbhost>
- DB_USER=<yourdbuser>
- DB_PASS=<yourdbpass>
- DB_DATABASE=bookstackapp
- APPURL=your.site.here.xyz
volumes:
- <path to data>:/config
ports:
- 6875:80
mem_limit: 4096m
restart: unless-stopped
Container images 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=1001 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1001 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e DB_HOST=<yourdbhost> |
for specifying the database host |
-e DB_USER=<yourdbuser> |
for specifying the database user |
-e DB_PASS=<yourdbpass> |
for specifying the database password |
-e DB_DATABASE=bookstackapp |
for specifying the database to be used |
-e APPURL=your.site.here.xyz |
for specifying the url your application will be accessed on |
-v /config |
this will store any uploaded data on the docker host |
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=1001 and PGID=1001, to find yours use id user as below:
$ id username
uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)
This application is dependent on an SQL database be it one you already have or a new one. If you do not already have one, set up our MariaDB container.
Once the MariaDB container is deployed, you can enter the following commands into the shell of the MariaDB container to create the user, password and database that the app will then use. Replace myuser/mypassword with your own data.
Note this will allow any user with these credentials to connect to the server, it is not limited to localhost
from shell: mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE bookstackapp;
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'myuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
GRANT ALL privileges ON `bookstackapp`.* TO 'myuser'@%;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Once you have completed these, you can then use the docker run command to create your BookStack container. Make sure you replace things such as with the correct data.
Then docker start bookstackapp to start the container. You should then be able to access the container at http://dockerhost:6875
Default username is admin@admin.com with password of password
If you intend to use this application behind a reverse proxy, such as our LetsEncrypt container or Traefik you will need to make sure that the APPURL environment variable is set, or it will not work
Documentation can be found at https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/
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 arguements for SQL or APPURL. The container will copy an .env file to /config/www/.env on your host system for you to edit.
Some simple docker-compose files are included for you to get started with. You will still need to manually configure the SQL server, but the compose files will get the stack running for you.
- 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" }}' linuxserver/bookstack
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), 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:
- Update the image:
docker pull linuxserver/bookstack - Stop the running container:
docker stop bookstack - Delete the container:
docker rm bookstack - Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/configfolder and settings will be preserved) - Start the new container:
docker start bookstack - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
- Update the image:
docker-compose pull linuxserver/bookstack - Let compose update containers as necessary:
docker-compose up -d - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
