Describe the Bug

Yo, been running this for a little while, and it is an absolute headache. I have zero idea where my files are, and I cannot get the permissions to work right or find the documentation to fix it. I understand stuff is in the database, and I have tried all troubleshooting steps I can find. How can I upload logs / files / etc and preserve my privacy. Thank you.

Steps to Reproduce

Have it running for any reasonable period of time. Comes back.

Expected Behaviour

It needs to work.

Screenshots or Additional Context

403 forbidden / no logs in syslog / no extra info in db

Browser Details

Netscape

Exact BookStack Version

v23.10.1

Please can you provide further information about the instance.

Is this a new instance? Or an existing instance?
Did it work before?
What operating system are you using on the host?
If known, how was the install performed?
What exactly is the issue observed? (share screenshot/output if possible)
