Can anyone share their bookstack docker-compose app with me?

I am trying to host it and the sample docker-compose file herehttps://github.com/linuxserver/docker-bookstack/pkgs/container/bookstack#usage

does not work for me. Getting error when db migration is applied.

I am testing this on my windows machine locally but intend to host in a linux machine.

This is common on windows. Something funk goes on at the filesystem level in this configuration which causes issues with migrations. There's a relevant thread here. Some folks in there have solved it via alternative volume options, or alternative database docker images. Should not be something you experience on Linux though.

Oh my god. I wasted hours for nothing. This was indeed the issue. I ran it docker volume it worked fine in windows. Then tried in Ubuntu server by mapping to host directory and it is running now.

Thank you very much.

Happy to help! Just as an extra warning, don't auto-upgrade BookStack containers via something like watchtower. Most of the annoying issues I've had reported from docker users of BookStack seems to be due to auto-upgrade failing, which can often be hard to track down since errors may not show right away, or the user many not realise an update was attempted.

Thanks will keep that in mind. Also thanks for all your work on this. Really looking forward to use this.
