linuxserver/bookstack
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.

Supported Architectures
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 ghcr.io/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 | arm32v7-latest |
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.
docker-compose (recommended)
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.
---
version: "2"
services:
bookstack:
image: linuxserver/bookstack
container_name: bookstack
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- DB_HOST=bookstack_db
- DB_USER=bookstack
- DB_PASS=<yourdbpass>
- DB_DATABASE=bookstackapp
volumes:
- /path/to/data:/config
ports:
- 6875:80
restart: unless-stopped
depends_on:
- bookstack_db
bookstack_db:
image: linuxserver/mariadb
container_name: bookstack_db
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=<yourdbpass>
- TZ=Europe/London
- MYSQL_DATABASE=bookstackapp
- MYSQL_USER=bookstack
- MYSQL_PASSWORD=<yourdbpass>
volumes:
- /path/to/data:/config

docker cli
docker run -d \
--name=bookstack \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e DB_HOST=<yourdbhost> \
-e DB_USER=<yourdbuser> \
-e DB_PASS=<yourdbpass> \
-e DB_DATABASE=bookstackapp \
-e APP_URL=http://your.site.here.xyz `#optional` \
-p 6875:80 \
-v /path/to/data:/config \
--restart unless-stopped \
ghcr.io/linuxserver/bookstack
Parameters
Docker 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.
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 |
DB_HOST=<yourdbhost> |
for specifying the database host |
DB_USER=<yourdbuser> |
for specifying the database user |
DB_PASS=<yourdbpass> |
for specifying the database password |
DB_DATABASE=bookstackapp |
for specifying the database to be used |
APP_URL=http://your.site.here.xyz |
for specifying the url your application will be accessed on (required for correct operation of reverse proxy) |
Volume Mappings (-v
)
Volume | Function |
---|---|
/config |
this will store any uploaded data on the docker host |
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__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
Will set the environment variable PASSWORD
based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword
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 user
as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
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 LetsEncrypt container or Traefik you will need to make sure that the APP_URL
environment variable is set, or it will not work
Documentation for BookStack can be found at https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/
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, or APP_URL. The container will copy an exemplary .env file to /config/www/.env on your host system for you to edit.
PDF Rendering
wkhtmltopdf is available to use as an alternative PDF rendering generator as described at https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/pdf-rendering/.
The path to wkhtmltopdf in this image to include in your .env file is /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf
.
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" }}' ghcr.io/linuxserver/bookstack
