BookStack is an open-source documentation platform designed to help users create, organize, and manage knowledge bases. The platform is accessed through a web interface, allowing users to structure their documentation into Shelves, Books, Chapters, and Pages. This guide outlines the process of deploying BookStack on a Linux server using Docker Compose, with MariaDB for data storage and Traefik handling TLS termination.
The deployment also includes creating Shelves, Books, Chapters, and Pages through the web interface, resulting in a functional BookStack instance with a sample documentation hierarchy secured over HTTPS. The prerequisites for this deployment include a Linux-based server with specific hardware requirements, installation of Docker and Docker Compose, a DNS A record pointing to the server's IP address, and the creation of a directory structure for BookStack with appropriate environment variables.
