BookStack

What is it for?

BookStack organises documentation like a library: shelves, books, chapters and pages. The editor is visual, no code. Ideal to document a home, a club or a project.

Who is it for?

People who want to document something properly, together.

After installing

1. Log in with admin@admin.com / password, then change the email and password right away.

The docker-compose

Example behind Traefik. To adapt it (Nginx Proxy Manager, local port…) with a line-by-line explanation, use the generator (in French).
