----You need to specify your Bookstack's URL (Can be even IP if you don't have a domain), DB credentials, path/docker volumes to be mounted. Use PUID/GUID of the user who has access to the mounted paths. Optionally you can specify docker network as well if you are using a proxy or want to isolate it on a separate network.
Use docker-compose up -d command to pull the above containers and run them. You can even use an external Mysql database and provide access credentials of it to bookstack.
Use your Bookstack's URL to access the running container. Default user is [email protected] and password is password
