This application is dependent on a MySQL database be it one you already have or a new one. If you do not already have one, set up our MariaDB container here https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/mariadb/.
If you intend to use this application behind a subfolder reverse proxy, such as our SWAG container or Traefik you will need to make sure that the `APP_URL` environment variable is set to your external domain, or it will not work

### BookStack File & Directory Paths
This container ensures certain BookStack application files & folders, such as user file upload folders, are retained within the `/config` folder so that they are persistent & accessible when the `/config` container path is bound as a volume. There may be cases, when following the BookStack documentation, that you'll need to know how these files and folders are used relative to a non-container BookStack installation.
Below is a mapping of container `/config` paths to those relative within a BookStack install directory:
- **/config container path** => **BookStack relative path**
- `/config/www/.env` => `.env`
- `/config/www/laravel.log` => `storage/logs/laravel.log`
- `/config/www/files/` => `storage/uploads/files/`
- `/config/www/images/` => `storage/uploads/images/`
- `/config/www/themes/` => `themes/`
- `/config/www/uploads/` => `public/uploads/`
### Advanced Users (full control over the .env file)
If you wish to use the extra functionality of BookStack such as email, Memcache, LDAP and so on you will need to make your own .env file with guidance from the BookStack documentation.
