How to build BookStack on Opalstack.

bookstack.txt

Prefece: BookStack is seemingly a normal laravel app. 
This means you need to check it out to a directory someplace, 
install its deps, config the DB, and point a symlink apache app to the 'public' sub directory. 

Create a new OSUser for this app to live in, it makes deployment a little easier. 

Shell commands, 

mkdir ~/src
cd ~/src
git clone https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack.git --branch release --single-branch
wget https://getcomposer.org/installer
php81 installer
cd BookStack/
php81 ../composer.phar install --no-dev
cp .env.example .env
php81 artisan key:generate

# At this step edit the .env file and configure the DB settings.
# also edit the domain setting
vim .env

# once you save and exit vim then you can run migrate, 
php81 artisan migrate

# at this step you can create a new 'Symbolic link, Apache/PHP-FPM' app
# the path will be /home/NEWOSUSER/src/BookStack/public

Trailing slash on the symlink path breaks the app, but otherwise these instructions worked great for me!

👍 fixed thanks
