In Detail

Why BookStack on Your Own Server?

Internal documentation often holds processes, access paths and customer details. On your own server in Frankfurt it stays with you, BookStack is open source, and there is no per-user licence fee for your team’s accounts.

BookStack organises knowledge like a library: shelves hold books, books hold chapters and pages. You write in the WYSIWYG editor or in Markdown, every change lands in the revision history, and roles decide who may see and edit what. The panel installs BookStack with its own MariaDB database and turns the default account BookStack normally starts with straight into your admin login – with your e-mail address and a generated password you look up in the panel. Well-known default credentials are never left open on the internet. If you enter a domain pointing to your server, BookStack runs on HTTPS right away; without a domain you reach it via the IP address and add the domain later in the panel. For a small team, a package with 1 GB of RAM is enough.
