## docker-compose

  Dockerhub linuxserver/bookstack [example compose.](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/bookstack)

  `docker-compose.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:
      image: linuxserver/bookstack
      container_name: bookstack
      hostname: bookstack
      restart: unless-stopped
      env_file: .env
      depends_on:
        - bookstack-db
      volumes:
        - ./bookstack-data:/config

  networks:
    default:
      external:
        name: $DEFAULT_NETWORK
  ```

  `.env`

  ```
  # GENERAL

  # BOOKSTACK

  **All containers must be on the same network**.</br>
  If one does not exist yet: `docker network create caddy_net`

## Reverse proxy

  Caddy v2 is used,
  details [here](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/Caddy-v2-examples)

  `Caddyfile`
  ```
  {
      # acme_ca https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
  }

  book.{$MY_DOMAIN} {
      reverse_proxy bookstack:80
  }
  ```

## Update

  * [watchtower](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker/tree/master/watchtower) updates the image automaticly

  * manual image update</br>
    `docker-compose pull`</br>
    `docker-compose up -d`</br>
    `docker image prune`

## Backup and restore

  * **backup** using [borgbackup setup](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker/tree/master/borg_backup)
  that makes daily snapshot of the entire directory
    
  * **restore**</br>
    down the bookstack containers `docker-compose down`</br>
    delete the entire bookstack directory</br>
    from the backup copy back the bookstack directortory</br>
    start the container `docker-compose up -d`

## Backup of just user data

user-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.
The created backup files are overwriten on every run of the script,
but borg backup is daily making snapshot of the entire directory.

* **create a backup script**</br>
    placed inside `bookstack` directory on the host

    `bookstack-backup-script.sh`
    ```
    #!/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'

    # ARCHIVE UPLOADED FILES
    docker container exec bookstack tar -czPf /config/BACKUP.bookstack.uploaded-files.tar.gz /config/www/
    ```

    the script must be **executabe** - `chmod +x bookstack-backup-script.sh`

* **cronjob** on the host</br>
  `crontab -e` - add new cron job</br>
  `0 2 * * * /home/bastard/docker/bookstack/bookstack-backup-script.sh` - run it [at 02:00](https://crontab.guru/#0_2_*_*_*)</br>
  `crontab -l` - list cronjobs

## 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`
  * have `BACKUP.bookstack.database.sql` mounted in by placing it in `bookstack/bookstack-data`
  * exec in to the container and restore the database</br>
    `docker container exec -it bookstack-db /bin/bash`</br>
    `cd /config`</br>
    `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/` replace directories `files`,`images` and `uploads` and the file `.env`
    with the ones from the archive `BACKUP.bookstack.uploaded-files.tar.gz` 
  * 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`
