Create a new directory and the necessary files

mkdir -p bookstack/config && cd bookstack
touch docker-compose.yml .env

DB_PASSWD=<password> #do not change later on or stuff may break
APP_URL=example.com:6875
PORT=6875

PGID=1000

Edit the docker-compose.yml to include the following:

  bookstack_db:
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/mariadb
