Current Behavior

I ran the following docker-compose.yml.

services:
  bookstack:
    container_name: bookstack
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/bookstack:latest
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
      - APP_URL=http://localhost:6875
      - APP_KEY=base64:da8c/yJzUIf0A1IjbWxTK5N4VBwY9pqWwmmH0k4mleY=

      - DB_HOST=maria_db
      - DB_PORT=3306
      - DB_DATABASE=bookstack
      - DB_USERNAME=bookstack
      - DB_PASSWORD=bookstack2219x
    volumes:
      - ./bookstack_app_data:/config
    ports:
      - 6875:80
    restart: unless-stopped

  mariadb:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/mariadb:latest
    container_name: maria_db
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=bookstack2219x
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=bookstack
      - MYSQL_USER=bookstack
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=bookstack2219x
    volumes:
      - ./bookstack_db_data:/config
    restart: unless-stopped

The first time I was able to log in as admin@admin.com, and didn't get

until I attempted to create a page. Now, after deleting the volumes and containers and rerunning it a few times, I can't seem to get past the login page. Maybe some kind of race condition? Adding depends_on: mariadb didn't fix.

log/bookstack/laravel.log has several errors like this:

Expected Behavior

It should work out of the box.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Set up the compose file:

services:
  bookstack:
    container_name: bookstack
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/bookstack:latest
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
      - APP_URL=http://localhost:6875
      - APP_KEY=base64:da8c/yJzUIf0A1IjbWxTK5N4VBwY9pqWwmmH0k4mleY=

      - DB_HOST=mariadb
      - DB_PORT=3306
      - DB_DATABASE=bookstack
      - DB_USERNAME=bookstack
      - DB_PASSWORD=bookstack2219x
    volumes:
      - ./bookstack_app_data:/config
    ports:
      - 6875:80
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
      - mariadb

  mariadb:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/mariadb:latest
    container_name: mariadb
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=bookstack2219x
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=bookstack
      - MYSQL_USER=bookstack
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=bookstack2219x
    volumes:
      - ./bookstack_db_data:/config
    restart: unless-stopped

2. Execute docker-compose up
3. Navigate to localhost:6875
4. Attempt to log in as admin@admin.com with password password.
5. If you can log in, attempt to create a book and a page in the book.
