A platform for storing and organising information and documentation. General information and documentation for BookStack can be found at https://www.bookstackapp.com/.
PHP code within BookStack is generally to [PSR-2](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-2/) standards. From the BookStack root folder you can run `./vendor/bin/phpcs` to check code is formatted correctly and `./vendor/bin/phpcbf` to auto-fix non-PSR-2 code.
+### 🐋 Development using Docker
+
+This repository ships with a Docker Compose configuration intended for development purposes. It'll build a PHP image with all needed extensions installed and start up a MySQL server and a Node image watching the UI assets.
+
+To get started, make sure you meet the following requirements:
+
+- Docker and Docker Compose are installed
+- Your user is part of the `docker` group
+
+If all the conditions are met, you can proceed with the following steps:
+
+1. Install PHP/Composer dependencies with **`docker-compose run app composer install`** (first time can take a while because the image has to be built).
+2. **Copy `.env.example` to `.env`** and change `APP_KEY` to a random 32 char string.
+3. Make sure **port 8080 is unused** *or else* change `DEV_PORT` to a free port on your host.
+4. **Run `chgrp -R docker storage`**. The development container will chown the `storage` directory to the `www-data` user inside the container so BookStack can write to it. You need to change the group to your host's `docker` group here to not lose access to the `storage` directory.
+5. **Run `docker-compose up`** and wait until all database migrations have been done.
+6. You can now login with `
[email protected]` and `password` as password on `localhost:8080` (or another port if specified).
+
+If needed, You'll be able to run any artisan commands via docker-compose like so:
+
+ ```shell script
+docker-compose run app php artisan list
+```
+
+The docker-compose setup runs an instance of [MailHog](https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog) and sets environment variables to redirect any BookStack-sent emails to MailHog. You can view this mail via the MailHog web interface on `localhost:8025`. You can change the port MailHog is accessible on by setting a `DEV_MAIL_PORT` environment variable.

## 🌎 Translations
All text strings can be found in the `resources/lang` folder where each language option has its own folder. To add a new language you should copy the `en` folder to an new folder (eg. `fr` for french) then go through and translate all text strings in those files, leaving the keys and file-names intact. If a language string is missing then the `en` translation will be used. To show the language option in the user preferences language drop-down you will need to add your language to the options found at the bottom of the `resources/lang/en/settings.php` file. A system-wide language can also be set in the `.env` file like so: `APP_LANG=en`.
