All development on BookStack is currently done on the `development` branch.
When it's time for a release the `development` branch is merged into release with built & minified CSS & JS then tagged at its version. Here are the current development requirements:
-* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) v18.0+
+* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) v20.0+
## Building CSS & JavaScript Assets
1. **Copy `.env.example` to `.env`**, change `APP_KEY` to a random 32 char string and set `APP_ENV` to `local`.
2. Make sure **port 8080 is unused** *or else* change `DEV_PORT` to a free port on your host.
-3. **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.
+3. **Run `chgrp -R docker storage`**. The development container will chown the `storage`, `public/uploads` and `bootstrap/cache` directories 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.
4. **Run `docker-compose up`** and wait until the image is built and all database migrations have been done.
5. You can now login with `
[email protected]` and `password` as password on `localhost:8080` (or another port if specified).
