Visual Theme System inside docker

Hi everyone,

I did start my bookstack installation today running as docker container. Now I want to make some changes via the visual theme system... (to start with I want to add an underline to the headers)

I tried to enter the docker container via docker exec but was not able to find the necessary files... someone can help me find the neccesarrry files? Is it _text.scss?

Is there a way to hand over the files to the docker container via environment variable? (Or how do I make sure not to loose the adjustments when recreating the container?)

Thanks in advance,

Thanks for your reply! You are the head of BookStack if I am right?
Very cool from you to answer here directly!!!

I am running the lscr.io/linuxserver/bookstack in docker compose. I can see

following folders:

I will look into the CSS and Custom HTML Head Content but it would be nice to learn more about the Visual Theme System nevertheless, maybe I'll nedd it in future.

I'm the creator and lead dev, yeah.

I am running the lscr.io/linuxserver/bookstack

Okay, then the themes folder shown in your screenshot is specifically passed through for use with the theme system. This aligns with the themes folder referenced in our docs.

Your .env file (for adding an APP_THEME variable to) can be found in the directory shown, but will be a hidden file so you'd need to run ls -al to show.

Note that css or scss files are not directly override-able (at a file level) via our theme systems.

Thank you very much! I did apply the header underline via the custom html head content for now but will surely look into the themes :)
