# Bookstack in docker

# Purpose & Overview
Documentation and notes.
* [Official site](https://www.bookstackapp.com/)
* [Github](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack)
* [DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/bookstack)
BookStack is a modern, open source, good looking wiki platform
for storing and organizing information and documentation.
Written in PHP, with MySQL database for the user data.</br>
There is no official Dockerhub image so the one maintained by
[linuxserver.io](https://www.linuxserver.io/) is used,
which uses nginx as a web server.
# Files and directory structure
```
/home/
└── ~/
└── docker/
└── bookstack/
├── bookstack-data/
├── bookstack-db-data/
├── .env
├── docker-compose.yml
└── bookstack-backup-script.sh
```
* `bookstack-data/` - a directory where bookstack will store its web app data
* `bookstack-db-data/` - a directory where bookstack will store its MySQL database data
* `.env` - a file containing environment variables for docker compose
* `docker-compose.yml` - a docker compose file, telling docker how to run the containers
* `bookstack-backup-script.sh` - a backup script if you want it
You only need to provide the files.</br>
The directories are created by docker compose on the first run.
# docker-compose
Dockerhub linuxserver/bookstack
[example compose.](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/bookstack)
`docker-compose.yml`
```yml
version: "2"
services:
bookstack-db:
image: linuxserver/mariadb
container_name: bookstack-db
hostname: bookstack-db
restart: unless-stopped
env_file: .env
volumes:
- ./bookstack-db-data:/config
bookstack:

container_name: bookstack

`.env`

**All containers must be on the same network**.</br>
Which is named in the `.env` file.</br>
If one does not exist yet: `docker network create caddy_net`
# Reverse proxy
Caddy v2 is used, details
[here](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker/tree/master/caddy_v2).</br>
`Caddyfile`
```
book.{$MY_DOMAIN} {
reverse_proxy bookstack:80
}
```
# First run
Default login: `admin@admin.com` // `password`

# Trouble shooting
If after update you cant see edit tools. Clear cookies.
# Update
[Watchtower](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker/tree/master/watchtower)
updates the image automatically.
Manual image update:
- `docker-compose pull`</br>
- `docker-compose up -d`</br>
- `docker image prune`
# Backup and restore
#### Backup
Using [borg](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker/tree/master/borg_backup)
that makes daily snapshot of the entire directory.
#### Restore
* down the bookstack containers `docker-compose down`</br>
* delete the entire bookstack directory</br>
* from the backup copy back the bookstack directory</br>
* start the containers `docker-compose up -d`
# Backup of just user data
Users data daily export using the
[official procedure.](https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/backup-restore/)</br>
For bookstack it means database dump and backing up several directories
containing user uploaded files.
Daily [borg](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker/tree/master/borg_backup) run
takes care of backing up the directories.
So only database dump is needed.</br>
The created backup sqlite3 file is overwritten on every run of the script,
but that's ok since borg is making daily snapshots.
#### Create a backup script
Placed inside `bookstack` directory on the host
`bookstack-backup-script.sh`
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# CREATE DATABASE DUMP, bash -c '...' IS USED OTHERWISE OUTPUT > WOULD TRY TO GO TO THE HOST
docker container exec bookstack-db bash -c 'mysqldump -u $MYSQL_USER -p$MYSQL_PASSWORD $MYSQL_DATABASE > $MYSQL_DIR/BACKUP.bookstack.database.sql'
```
the script must be **executable** - `chmod +x bookstack-backup-script.sh`
#### Cronjob
Running on the host, so that the script will be periodically run.
* `su` - switch to root
* `crontab -e` - add new cron job</br>
* `0 22 * * * /home/bastard/docker/bookstack/bookstack-backup-script.sh`</br>
runs it every day [at 22:00](https://crontab.guru/#0_22_*_*_*)
* `crontab -l` - list cronjobs to check
# Restore the user data
Assuming clean start, first restore the database before running the app container.
* start only the database container: `docker-compose up -d bookstack-db`
* copy `BACKUP.bookstack.database.sql` in `bookstack/bookstack-db-data/`
* restore the database inside the container</br>
`docker container exec --workdir /config bookstack-db bash -c 'mysql -u $MYSQL_USER -p$MYSQL_PASSWORD $MYSQL_DATABASE < BACKUP.bookstack.database.sql'`
* now start the app container: `docker-compose up -d`
* let it run so it creates its file structure
* down the containers `docker-compose down`
* in `bookstack/bookstack-data/www/`</br>
replace directories `files`,`images`,`uploads` and the file `.env`</br>
with the ones from the BorgBackup repository
* start the containers: `docker-compose up -d`
* if there was a major version jump, exec in to the app container and run `php artisan migrate`</br>
`docker container exec -it bookstack /bin/bash`</br>
`cd /var/www/html/`</br>
`php artisan migrate`
Again, the above steps are based on the
[official procedure.](https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/backup-restore/)
