Bookstack

Installation

We followed this Installation Guide on Youtube:
How to install Bookstack on Proxmox Ubuntu.

Lxc Container

We created a lxc Container for Bookstack by using this script in the shell of the desired Node:
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/ubuntu.sh)"

We used advances Settings and changed:

Distribution: Ubuntu - Jammy - Unpriviledged
Diskspace: 20GB
Ram: 3072MiB

Bookstack

And installed Bookstack by using this script:
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BookStackApp/devops/main/scripts/installation-ubuntu-22.04.sh)"
We have to set the IP Address.

Install

Everything important for setup of the server in the environment of COe.

Lxc Container

Create Container

You can use the helperscript with this command:

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/ubuntu.sh)"

For the Container ID use a number in the range 200-299. It is useful to give the Container this ID as the ending of the IP-Address later.

In der Cloud ist ein Skript, das folgendes ausführt:

Nutzer erstellen

Create a user:

adduser <username>

Add user to sudo group:

usermod -aG sudo <username>

Switch to user.

Preparation

PHP

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y nginx curl software-properties-common php8.3 php8.3-{cli,zip,gd,fpm,common,mysql,zip,mbstring,curl,xml,bcmath,imap,ldap,intl} php-json

Check to see if php is running

php -v and systemctl status php8.3-fpm

Adjust some php settings

sudo nvim /etc/php/8.3/fpm/php.ini

search for and change or enable the following lines of code

memory_limit = 512M

[Date]
date.timezone = Europe/Berlin

Nginx

stop apache

sudo systemctl stop apache2
sudo systemctl disable apache2

remove nginx file

sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

create "firefly.dodekaeder.name" in sites-enabled folder and then paste in the config below

sudo nvim /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/firefly.dodekaeder.name

server {
        listen       80 default_server;
        listen       [::]:80 default_server;
        #server_name  subdomain.domain.com;
        root         /var/www/firefly-iii/public;
        index index.html index.htm index.php;

        location / {
                try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
                autoindex on;
                sendfile off;
       }

        location ~ \.php$ {

Install

OctoPi

We will use the Raspberry Pi Imager for installation.

Open the Imager and select the Pi Version and OctoPi image under “Choose OS”, by selecting “Other Specific Purpose OS” > “3D printing” > “OctoPi” and then the “stable” version.

Open advanced options by using the keyboard shortcut ctrl+shift+x and then:

Configure your wifi options: Set your SSID, password and WiFi country.
Change the system password in “Set username and password” by entering a new password to use for the system user “pi”. This is not the password you’ll use for logging into OctoPrint but one that you’ll have to use to log into your Pi via SSH should you ever need to.
Optionally: Change the configured timezone in “Set locale settings”
Optionally: Change the hostname in “Set hostname”

Install the image to your SD card, then plug everything in to your Raspberry Pi and boot it up. Do not format the SD card after installing, even if prompted to do so. This will break the installation and you will have to start over!

Access OctoPrint from your browser via http://octopi.local or the hostname you chose (if your computer supports bonjour) or http://<your pi's ip address>. https is available too, with a self-signed certificate (which means your browser will warn you about it being invalid - it isn’t, it’s just not recognized by your browser).
