BookStack

BookStack is a platform for storing and organizing information and documentation, built with PHP and the Laravel framework. It is deliberately opinionated: the aim is a pleasant, intuitive experience out of the box where only basic word-processing skills are needed to create content, so non-technical colleagues can contribute.

Content is organized in a book metaphor, with shelves, books, chapters and pages. Advanced capabilities are available for those who want them, but the project says they should never get in the way of the simple core experience, and it is not intended as a general extensible platform for unrelated purposes. Development is relaxed and positive, evolving slowly while keeping upgrades stable and easy. There is a demo instance, installation instructions, documentation and a blog.

BookStack is licensed under MIT and is now managed on Codeberg, which is where the primary repository and issue list live. You host it on your own server with PHP and a database. It suits teams, schools and small organizations that want an approachable internal wiki rather than a highly configurable knowledge system.
