Ability to use custom template changes

[cb3inco]

---

Desired Behavior

Prior to 28.0.1 I was able to manually mount /var/www/html/themes in my docker-compose file to modify certain files to update the default template. I would like this ability in subsequent versions.

Current Behavior

As of 28.0.2 and 28.0.3 it seems to be no longer possible to mount this path as a volume and make custom template changes.

Alternatives Considered

Not sure other than compiling my own image.

i have the same issue. since i use bookstack mainly as a documentation platform, i change some spellings via the template mount into the container and setting the environment variable (docker-compose).

environment:
      ...
      # Theme
      - APP_THEME='<name>'
      ...
volumes:
      ...
      - '/path/to/themes-data/de:/var/www/html/themes/<name>/lang/de'
      - '/path/to/themes-data/de_informal:/var/www/html/themes/<name>/lang/de_informal'
      ...

removing this - solves the "File not found!" issue.

As a workaround, I was able to put this in a file I called 91-themes under the custom-cont-init.d folder. This is called as a final step in setting up the container.

rm -r /var/www/html/themes
ln -s /config/www/themes /var/www/html/themes

ETA: after further testing, this doesn't work.
