Note that if you want to use LDAP, $ has to be escape like \$, i.e. -e "LDAP_USER_FILTER"="(&(uid=\${user}))"

Networking changed in Docker v1.9, so you need to do one of the following steps.

1. MySQL Container:

docker run -d \
-p 3306:3306 \
-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=secret \
-e MYSQL_DATABASE=bookstack \
-e MYSQL_USER=bookstack \
-e MYSQL_PASSWORD=secret \
--name bookstack_db \
mysql:5.7.21

1. Create a shared network:

docker network create bookstack_nw

1. Run MySQL container :

docker run -d --net bookstack_nw  \
-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=secret \
-e MYSQL_DATABASE=bookstack \
-e MYSQL_USER=bookstack \
-e MYSQL_PASSWORD=secret \
 --name="bookstack_db" \
 mysql:5.7.21

To access your .env file and important bookstack folders on your host system change <HOST> in the following line to your host directory and add it then to your run command:

--mount type=bind,source=<HOST>/.env,target=/var/www/bookstack/.env \
-v <HOST>:/var/www/bookstack/public/uploads \
-v <HOST>:/var/www/bookstack/storage/uploads

In case of a windows host machine the .env file has to be already created in the host directory otherwise a folder named .env will be created.

After these steps you can visit http://localhost:8080 . You can login with username 'admin@admin.com' and password 'password'.

This is a fork of Kilhog and Solidnerd did the intial work, but I want to go in a different direction.
