If you change the APP_URL after initial install, you should run the following line from your host terminal to update the database URL entries: docker exec -it bookstack php /app/www/artisan bookstack:update-url ${OLD_URL} ${NEW_URL}
Anybody has a bookstack docker-compose file I can use to self host?
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. More on reddit.com

February 24, 2020[Help] setting up BookStack Docker container
I've done the following. I run a seperate MariaDB instance. First create the mariaDB:
docker create \ --restart=always \ --name=mariadb-bookstack \ -v /DOCKER-DATA/mariadb-bookstack:/var/lib/mysql \ -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=[MARIADB-ROOT-PASSWORD] \ -e MYSQL_DATABASE=bookstack \ -e MYSQL_USER=bookstack \ -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=[BOOKSTACKDB-PASSWORD] \ -e TZ=Europe/Amsterdam \ mariadb
Then create the bookstack container:
docker create \ --restart=always \ --name=bookstack \ --link mariadb-bookstack:mariadb-bookstack \ -e DB_HOST=mariadb-bookstack:3306 \ -e DB_DATABASE=bookstack \ -e DB_USERNAME=bookstack \ -e DB_PASSWORD=[BOOKSTACKDB-PASSWORD] \ -p 8011:80 \ solidnerd/bookstack:0.14.3
First start the MariaDB container, check with docker logs mariadbname if everything is cool, then start the bookstack container. Connect to bookstack on 8011 or adjust the port :)

April 11, 2017How secure is Bookstack?
As a self-hosted application, you have full control over security. Bookstack provides granular user and role management to control access. If you run it behind a reverse proxy, the connection is encrypted via HTTPS. Regular updates to the software and the server are crucial for security.

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.
docker-compose file. https://pastebin.com/AVLrG4Ea
UPDATE:
Thanks everyone for help. I was able to resolve this issue.
Looks like the problem is with windows directory mapping. see comment from u/ssddanbrown below

Have you tried debugging the issue by running the MySQL container alone (i.e. comment out the "bookstack:" section of the docker-compose file)? Does the container start and run? Are you able to connect to port 3306 of the container from the host, using whatever userid and password you specified?
