Page with content
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.
Overview BookStack is the popular free open source platform for organising and storing documentation and knowledge. Content is arranged as Shelves, Books, Chapters and Pages, with a powerful WYSIWYG and Markdown editor, full-text search, page revisions and history, built-in diagrams.net drawing, roles and granular permissions, and a full REST API. This image delivers BookStack fully installed and configured, so a complete knowledge base is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is BookStack 26.05.
Application Stack BookStack is a Laravel application running on PHP 8.3 with OPcache, served by nginx with php-fpm. MariaDB provides the database. Database migrations are already applied, so customers land directly on the sign-in page.
Secure By Default On the first boot of your instance a one-shot service generates a fresh Laravel application key, a fresh MariaDB password and a fresh administrator password, unique to that instance, and writes the administrator email and password to a root only file. The instance's own address is set as the application URL automatically. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use The BookStack code tree, web server and database are all configured, with application files, uploads and the database on dedicated, independently resizable storage volumes. Browse to the instance address, sign in as the administrator, and start creating shelves, books and pages.
cloudimg Support 24/7 technical support by email and chat. Help with BookStack deployment, upgrades, performance tuning, LDAP and SAML single sign-on, email and storage configuration, REST API integration, and database administration.
Use Cases Internal documentation, team knowledge bases, runbooks and standard operating procedures, technical manuals and a self-hosted alternative to SaaS wiki and documentation tools, deployed in your own VPC for data residency or compliance.

Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant; on Ubuntu it is 'ubuntu'). BookStack is served on port 80. Retrieve the generated administrator email and password with: sudo cat /root/bookstack-credentials.txt. Browse to http://<instance-public-ip>/ and sign in with that email and password (the instance's address is set as APP_URL on first boot). The health endpoint http://<instance-public-ip>/status is open and returns 200 when healthy. Services are managed with systemctl (nginx, php8.3-fpm, mariadb); admin CLI tasks use 'sudo -u www-data php /var/www/bookstack/artisan ...'. To enable HTTPS, follow the Let's Encrypt section of the user guide.
