Used the above docker compose. First, I had to acquire an app key via running this command:

docker run -it --rm --entrypoint /bin/bash lscr.io/linuxserver/bookstack:latest appkey

However, due to a bug(?) in linuxserver.io's bookstack container, the passwords I set were not being applied. Consequently, after booting up to let the directory structure get produced, I had to docker compose down and edit bookstack_app_data/www/.env to set the APP_KEY, APP_URL, DB_HOST, DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, and DB_PASSWORD.

After that, bookstack ran correctly and connected to the database. 

To get it hooked up to nginx, I created a new enabled site (docs.craftidore.com) and used the following reverse proxy:

        location /docs {
                return 302 $scheme://$host/docs/;
        }

        location ~ ^/docs/(.*)$ {
                # Proxy main Bookstack traffic
                proxy_pass http://$bookstack:6875/$1$is_args$args;
                proxy_pass_request_headers on;
                proxy_set_header Host $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;
                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Connection $http_connection;
        }

Using a non-regex proxy led to infinite loop redirects for some reason. I still don't know why.
