# BookStack
BookStack is a simple, self-hosted, easy-to-use platform for organising and storing information.
A friendly middle ground between heavyweights like MediaWiki or Confluence and [Gollum](/recipes/gollum/), BookStack relies on a database backend (so searching and versioning is easy), but limits itself to a pre-defined, 3-tier structure (book, chapter, page). The result is a lightweight, approachable personal documentation stack, which includes search and Markdown editing.

I like to protect my public-facing web UIs with an [oauth_proxy](/reference/oauth_proxy), ensuring that if an application bug (or a user misconfiguration) exposes the app to unplanned public scrutiny, I have a second layer of defense.
## Ingredients
1. [Docker swarm cluster](/ha-docker-swarm/design/) with [persistent shared storage](/ha-docker-swarm/shared-storage-ceph.md)
2. [Traefik](/ha-docker-swarm/traefik/) configured per design
3. DNS entry for the hostname you intend to use, pointed to your [keepalived](ha-docker-swarm/keepalived/) IP
## Preparation
### Setup data locations
We'll need several directories to bind-mount into our container, so create them in /var/data/bookstack:
```
mkdir -p /var/data/bookstack/database-dump
mkdir -p /var/data/runtime/bookstack/db
```
### Prepare environment
Create bookstack.env, and populate with the following variables. Set the [oauth_proxy](/reference/oauth_proxy) variables provided by your OAuth provider (if applicable.)
```
# For oauth-proxy (optional)
OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_ID=
OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_SECRET=
OAUTH2_PROXY_COOKIE_SECRET=
# For MariaDB/MySQL database
MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=true
MYSQL_DATABASE=bookstack
MYSQL_USER=bookstack
MYSQL_PASSWORD=secret
# Bookstack-specific variables
DB_HOST=bookstack_db:3306
DB_DATABASE=bookstack
DB_USERNAME=bookstack
DB_PASSWORD=secret
```
### Setup Docker Swarm
Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like this:
!!! tip
I share (_with my [patreon patrons](https://www.patreon.com/funkypenguin)_) a private "_premix_" git repository, which includes necessary docker-compose and env files for all published recipes. This means that patrons can launch any recipe with just a ```git pull``` and a ```docker stack deploy``` 👍

!!! note
Setup unique static subnets for every stack you deploy. This avoids IP/gateway conflicts which can otherwise occur when you're creating/removing stacks a lot. See [my list](/reference/networks/) here.
## Serving
### Launch Bookstack stack
Launch the BookStack stack by running ```docker stack deploy bookstack -c <path -to-docker-compose.yml>```
Log into your new instance at https://**YOUR-FQDN**, authenticate with oauth_proxy, and then login with username 'admin@admin.com' and password 'password'.
## Chef's Notes 📓
1. If you wanted to expose the BookStack UI directly, you could remove the oauth2_proxy from the design, and move the traefik_public-related labels directly to the bookstack container. You'd also need to add the traefik_public network to the bookstack container.
