Bookstack

BookStack is a simple, self-hosted, easy-to-use platform for organising and storing information.

I rebranded my Bookstack instance to MyWiki and originally intended to use it only for my personal reference and possibly some journalling. I still use it for referencing but I am building it out as a "knowledge-base library" so others may benefit. If you're here, you probably figured that out already 🙂

Installation

To install Bookstack, you will need Docker installed at a minimum and optimally Docker Compose as well. This installation guide assumes you are installing Bookstack on Ubuntu 22.04 and you have both Docker and Docker Compose installed.

If you do not have Docker and Docker Compose installed, you can follow my guides for doing so by clicking these links:

• How to install Docker
• How to install Docker Compose

You don't have to install Bookstack using containers. It's just my preference. You can see all the installation methods by going to Bookstack's official installation web page.

I am using a pre-built container from LinuxServer.io.
