Hi @abensimon86,

What exact container image are you using?
What do your container volume mounts look like?
Have you attempted setting the GITHUB_* variables elsewhere or just in the stated file?

@abensimon86 Can you remove the APP_URL environment options from your docker-compose file, then restart the compose setup (Down then up). I think that blank APP_URL is overwriting the value set in the .env file hence it looks unset to BookStack.

Since there's been no follow-up I'm going to close this. If the issue remains and is something you still require to be fixed respond to my previous comment and this can then be re-opened.
