This video walks through the process of getting started with the BookStack theme system, used for platform customization, when using the linuxserver.io BookStack docker image via a docker-compose stack. We use an existing RSS feed hack, from the BookStack hacks site, as an example before implementation a custom change to the footer to show the process of finding existing view templates to edit. Note: For other BookStack docker containers, the process may not be the same since paths and volumes are often handled differently by different container images.
