# BookStack in Docker
|
|
|
|
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.

|
|
## Preparation
|
|
|
|
### Setup data locations
|
|
|
|
We'll need several directories to bind-mount into our container, so create them in /var/data/bookstack:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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.)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 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:
|
|
|
|
--8<-- "premix-cta.md"
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
version: '3'
|
|

## 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'.
|
|
|
|
[^1]: If you wanted to expose the Bookstack UI directly, you could remove the traefik-forward-auth from the design.
