[Support] Linuxserver.io - Bookstack

I’m new to Unraid, docker and many things here. I need some education or a pointer to some education. I’m going to use my desire to run BookStack as an example.

 

Easy enough to find BookStack via Community Applications. When I click to install I’m faced with having to provide some information. Since I don’t have much experience I’m looking for some pointers on where to go to figure out what all those container settings should be?

 

I watched a youtube video on someone installing BookStack via Portainer. In that video it appears the installation creates the BookStack app and the database to support it. However when I click to install on my Unraid server there’s a very clear “A database server is needed.” This leads to a series of rookie questions:

 

1.    What database should I install? (I assume I need to install it first.)

2.    Does the BookStack app take care of doing all the database work or is there some database configuration that’s required before BookStack is installed?

 

I run into this information void with every docker I install. Sometimes I can find a good walk-thru document or video that helps, but so far I haven’t run into anything too helpful for BookStack on Unraid. Just looking for some pointers to how people track these answers down?

Take a look at spaceinvader one’s YouTube channel. He’s the only reason my server is as successful as it is. 
 

Edit: to answer a little more specifically, I am using Mariadb for the database. There’s a docker for it in CA. You create the database and user manually, before installing Bookstack. 
 

Edit 2: here is a walkthrough tutorial. It’s up to you if you want to put yours behind a reverse proxy or not.

I'm using linuxserver/mariadb as database. If you want to manage your db you can use for example phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin. I don't remember exactly how I set everything up, but I think I used phpmyadmin to create a db user called "bookstack", then entered that info under "Database user" and "Database password" for the bookstack container.

Not sure why but I can't get this to work.. Keep getting an error

 


Exception trace:

1 Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOException::("SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'bookstack'@'172.17.0.1' (using password: YES)")

 

But why it's looking at 172.17.0.1 isn't clear to me. 

 

Here's my tempalte config.

It's probably the the IP of the container. Look in the container list and check the port mapping part to see which container has that IP. My guess is bookstack.

I think you didn't give the bookstack user the right to connect from everywhere.

It's actually the template that's bad unfortuantely. As others have stated here on the last page, I had to make some changes, hilighted below for visibllity. 

 

Looks like the template needs to be updated. After I changed DB_USER to DB_USERNAME and DB_PASS to DB_PASSWORD and added the :3306 port for my database IP, everything is working now.

 

As a side note, I also had to add https:// to my reverse proxy site, may be worth noting in the description of that variable that it needs http:// or https:// as well, otherwise layouts break.

I have tested the template and there is nothing wrong with it. Our env. variables for setting the username and password is in the template and they work.

That's odd, the template downloaded with DB_USER and DB_PASS and I had to change those to DB_USERNAME and DB_PASSWORD for it to work. Others on previous pages have said the same thing?

I just re-tested again.

 

DB_USER and DB_PASS do *not* allow the container to work.

This is what the template asks for, container variables DB_USER and DB_PASS.

Changing it tp DB_USERNAME and DB_PASSWORD do allow everything to run normally.

The template that CA is pulling down when users add this container is definately not correct.

I just set it up again here without issues using the supplied values in the template, so it does work.

Not trying to argue or anything FYI - I just want to understand why it doesn't work for me (and for clearly the others that hvae posted the same results).

 

If I replicate your setup, here's my docker run command I get.

I took out :port and set it back to DB_USER and DB_PASS just as you have yours.

 

root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name='BookStack' --net='bridge' -e TZ="America/New_York" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e 'DB_HOST'='10.0.0.10' -e 'DB_USER'='bookstack' -e 'DB_PASS'='xxxxxxxxxx' -e 'DB_DATABASE'='bookstack' -e 'APP_URL'='https://abc.domain.com' -e 'PUID'='99' -e 'PGID'='100' -p '8719:80/tcp' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/bookstack':'/config':'rw' 'linuxserver/bookstack'

 

This all looks like it macthes yours with some obvious changes, my db name is just "bookstack" and my password and app URL are different, as well as TZ, all to be expected, everthing else checks out and is the same.

 

But when I trun it I just get errors. I'm trying to wrap my head around why this is? 

Why does the error in the exception trace show it's trying to connect to "[email protected]"???

As a separate aside, if I remove the :3306 then I get a few warnings in the log,

with it, I get a bunch of lines of "Name does not resolve" but no warning/error.

Don't think this is related to the other problem but figured I'd check about what this means as well.

Not trying to argue or anything FYI - I just want to understand why it doesn't work for me (and for clearly the others that hvae posted the same results).

 

If I replicate your setup, here's my docker run command I get.

I took out :port and set it back to DB_USER and DB_PASS just as you have yours.

 



root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name='BookStack' --net='bridge' -e TZ="America/New_York" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e 'DB_HOST'='10.0.0.10' -e 'DB_USER'='bookstack' -e 'DB_PASS'='xxxxxxxxxx' -e 'DB_DATABASE'='bookstack' -e 'APP_URL'='https://abc.domain.com' -e 'PUID'='99' -e 'PGID'='100' -p '8719:80/tcp' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/bookstack':'/config':'rw' 'linuxserver/bookstack'

 

This all looks like it macthes yours with some obvious changes, my db name is just "bookstack" and my password and app URL are different, as well as TZ, all to be expected, everthing else checks out and is the same.

 

But when I trun it I just get errors. I'm trying to wrap my head around why this is? 

Why does the error in the exception trace show it's trying to connect to "[email protected]"???

What is the content of your /config/www/.env

Are you setting this up with a new appdata folder or existing?

This doesn't mean it's connecting to that IP. It means that the user bookstack, connecting from 172.17.0.1 is denied access to the database. Have you allowed the bookstack user in mariadb to connect from @?

yep, all good on that front.

 

I think the issue was my .env file that you pointed out, becuase I was using existing appdata folder, so I blew that away and setup brand new and it works. Interesting.

 

Comparing my old .env to new .env it looks ilke the old one had DB_PASSWORD set multiple times? Here's the line - I didn't end up using any of these passwords in the long run.

DB_PASSWORD=B2Dk!hDB_PASSWORD=B2Dk!hDB_PASSWORD=S!ka^43cFd3g$x71Vo68!u$ffVo68$u!ff

My new .env file just has the actual password listed once and that's it. 

 

I potentially tried to use a password with a special character in it during my initial setup, perhaps that caused the issue, and re-setting up from scratch without the specail character allowed it to work fine and write the proper .env file.

 

If so, then it might be worth updating the template to indicate to special charactesr allowed, or which ones would cause an issue?

Also the app URL must start with http:// or https://, I found leaving it blank while having it reverse proxy via https:// caused the whole stylesheet to be broken. 

 

Thank you for the help in understanding where things were going wrong, much appreciated! All up and working now with DB_USER and DB_PASS with a new .env file that actually works.

Hi all,

 

I`m relatively new to docker so please excuse my ignorance. 

 

I am trying to run Bookstack with the Database being stored on my QNAP NAS, I thought this would be fairly easy but its proving difficult. I am deploying from the CLI with the below command:

sudo docker run -d   --name=bookstack   -e PUID=1000   -e PGID=1000   -e APP_URL=http://192.168.0.23:6875   -e DB_HOST=192.168.0.2   -e DB_USERNAME=root -e DB_PASSWORD=admin   -e DB_DATABASE=bookstack-db   -p 6875:80   -v /docker/appdata/bookstack:/config   --restart unless-stopped   ghcr.io/linuxserver/bookstack

 

I have also tried having the DB port on the end of the DB_HOST variable as well as having it in a separate DB_PORT variable and both give me the same results. The user is the default db user and has full access to the db. Other things I have tried are deleting the project folder so it gets recreated, using different users but, I seem to have the same results in that it deploys ok and is running, on initial deployment it also creates all the tables in the database. I can browse to the URL and I get a login screen, I login with the defaults and I just get a blank screen. Reading the troubleshooting tips it suggests this is usually down to permissions on the uplad and cache folders, I have changed them to everyone having permission and still have the same behavior. I read somewhere I might need to deploy with no db setting and have all in an environment file but, I cant find any environment file or where it should go.

 

Can anyone offer any help or advice as I have been looking at this for nearly a week now

 

Thanks

It doesn't seem like you are running unraid, so you are in the wrong place for support. Join our discord server to get help.

I am having some problems when exporting a page to PDF. The pictures are either behind the text or just do not show up at all. When I export as an HTML, the pictures show up as they should. 

 

Edit: I am on Unraid 6.8.3 and BookStack v21.08.5

 

Any help would be appreciated. 

 

Screenshot of the page when viewing in BookStack:

Screenshot of the exported PDF with images behind the text:

Could you walk me through how you set up a new appdata without losing previous data? It appears I am running into the same issue after updating this docker.

Running on UnRAID. Bookstack is installed in a container, and NGINX Proxy Manager is installed in a separate container on the same custom network. as well as MariaDB. when I open the webui it looks like this. also note the weird url it takes me to.  I put in 192.168.1.238:6875 and this is exactly what it does.  I hope someone can help.  I was thinking this was going to be a simple install and it has been a nightmare, with countless hours spent attempting to fix.

This is the command that it runs to start the docker:
docker run -d --name=‘bookstack’ --net=‘proxynet’ -e TZ=“America/New_York” -e HOST_OS=“Unraid” -e ‘DB_HOST’=‘192.168.1.238:3306’ -e ‘DB_USER’=‘bookstack’ -e ‘DB_PASS’=‘password’ -e ‘DB_DATABASE’=‘bookstack’ -e ‘APP_URL’=‘192.168.1.238:6875’ -e ‘PUID’=‘99’ -e ‘PGID’=‘100’ -e ‘UMASK’=‘022’ -p ‘6875:80/tcp’ -v ‘/mnt/user/appdata/bookstack’:’/config’:‘rw’ ‘linuxserver/bookstack:v21.11.1-ls172’

 

When i put in username: [email protected] password: password it gives me this error:

 

Oops! An Error Occurred

The server returned a “405 Method Not Allowed”.

Something is broken. Please let us know what you were doing when this error occurred. We will fix it as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Having the same issue as @Built2Succeed

It was working fine until an update and now it doesn't connect to the dbase anymore and renders the page as seen in the screenshots from built2succeed.  I setup a domain name before hand and set the url https as the instructions stated.  Setup a dbase with MariaDB and tested working about a week ago.  Still muddling through how to fix it, but I think I'm going to delete the app and redo everything.  Not sure how to save what I have already put into Bookstack though.
