Run BookStack using Docker Compose & Nginx Proxy Manager

In this video I take you through the process of running BookStack using docker-compose and Nginx Proxy Manager from a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 server instance, complete with HTTPS via letsencrypt.

Thank you Dan for these very clear instructions. I was able to run a demo environment for our company. Hopefully they get to adopt Bookstack as our KB portal. :)

Followed several different tutorials, this is the only one that got me up and running! Thanks!

I've been having issues getting the domain routing up. I was wondering why can't I just use my server's IP address in the docker config's environment/APP_URL parameter instead?

i'm stuck with the ports. I have nginx setup and running prior to this, I also have a nextcloud container running on 80 and 443 and a mariadb on port 3306 already. Not sure all, some or neither of that matters as I'm relatively knew to docker. But when i run the docler-compose up, I get errors for 80, 443, 81 ports. I changed them to 85:80, 445:443, 82:81 and ran a docker-compose up and it ran the logs but can't access the site. How should I handle these ports?

[Sierra]

There it is.
I was trying to use https from nginx to bookstack and it was causing issues.

[alihamdi]

Hello, thanks a lot for awesome tutorials, I want to ask if it is posible to connect(save) bookstack on SQL Server?

[mEti]

How can I connect other CT to that nookstack_db?

[capsyatina]

I get error "permission denied" in started script, when I run docker-compose up. (((

[MieszkoNowak]

There is error "networks.default.external must be a boolean or mapping", docker change something.
Don't make any network. And don't use network from 13:06 . Docker compose creates a network for those components itself.
