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.

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.
Ports (-p
)
Parameter | Function |
---|---|
80 |
will map the container's port 80 to port 6875 on the host |
Environment Variables (-e
)
Env | Function |
---|---|
PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
TZ=Etc/UTC |
specify a timezone to use, see this list. |
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 |
DB_HOST=yourdbhost |
for specifying the database host |
DB_PORT=yourdbport |
for specifying the database port if not default 3306 |
DB_USER=yourdbuser |
for specifying the database user |
DB_PASS=yourdbpass |
for specifying the database password (minimum 4 characters & non-alphanumeric passwords must be properly escaped.) |
DB_DATABASE=bookstackapp |
for specifying the database to be used |
QUEUE_CONNECTION= |
Set to database to enable async actions like sending email or triggering webhooks. See documentation. |
Volume Mappings (-v
)
Volume | Function |
---|---|
/config |
this will store any uploaded data on the docker host |
Miscellaneous Options
Parameter | Function |
---|
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 (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:
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
Via Watchtower auto-updater (only use if you don't remember the original parameters)
-
Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:
docker run --rm \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower \ --run-once bookstack
-
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
!!! warning
We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using [Docker Compose](https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/docker-compose).
Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)
!!! tip
We recommend [Diun](https://crazymax.dev/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
.
