I have searched GitHub for the issue.

Describe the Scenario

according to https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/commands/#delete-all-activity-history
in the container console of my docker container I use the command
php artisan bookstack:clear-revisions -a

I receive the following error message:
Could not open input file: artisan

For deploying the stack in portainer I used the following compose file:
version: "2"
services:
bookstack:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/bookstack
container_name: bookstack
environment:
- PUID=1023
- PGID=1023
- APP_URL=XXXX
- DB_HOST=XXXX
- DB_PORT=3306
- DB_USER=XXXX
- DB_PASS=XXXX
- DB_DATABASE=XXXX
- STORAGE_TYPE=local_secure
- AVATAR_URL=false
- DRAWIO=XXXX
- ALLOW_ROBOTS=false
- SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE=true
- LOG_FAILED_LOGIN_MESSAGE="Failed login for %u"
- RECYCLE_BIN_LIFETIME=20
- REVISION_LIMIT=20
- APP_TIMEZONE=Europe/Berlin

volumes:
  - /volume1/docker/XXXX/config:/config
ports:
  - 6878:80

Questions
a) is artisan missing in the docker image I use? If yes: what do I need to do?
b) is it safe to delete all rows in the table 'activities'?

Thank you for any proposals on how to proceed!

Hi @ap2de,

a) is artisan missing in the docker image I use? If yes: what do I need to do?

No, it should be in there, you just need to be in the BookStack install directory first (which I think is at /app/www/ in the linuxserver image).
If it helps, I show the process of running commands in a docker compose linuxserver bookstack stack in my video here at about 2:32:

b) is it safe to delete all rows in the table 'activities'?

I'm not sure without checking. Maybe but I'd advise against it and use the command instead.

Note that activity/audit-log is cleared via the php artisan bookstack:clear-activity command. Not via the clear revisions command you have in your original comment above.
